Lupita Nyong’o and Selema Masekela, two highly regarded individuals in their respective areas, ended months of silence surrounding their relationship yesterday with a charming and unexpected declaration of love. In celebration of this happy occasion, the couple started another business together and bought a stunning multimillion-dollar home in the energetic city of Los Angeles.

The magnificent Los Angeles property, which was acquired for an incredible amount of about $4 million, is evidence of Masekela and Nyong’o’s mutual admiration for stunning architecture and picturesque landscapes. This custom-built home is a true haven of modern elegance, tucked away in the beautiful Topanga Canyon, an alluring unincorporated area sandwiched between the gorgeous coastal enclave of Malibu and the picturesque San Fernando Valley.

The home’s design, which is distinguished by the tasteful fusion of cement, steel, and glass, not only radiates modernism but also has remarkable self-sustainability qualities. Outfitted with cutting-edge home automation, solar electricity, backup systems, and sophisticated filtering systems, the property epitomizes environmentally mindful living. Nestled at the end of a peaceful one-way street, the house sits atop more than two acres of verdant, forested land, concealed behind a majestic driveway with steel gates.
The striking combination of natural light and breath-taking views greets visitors as soon as they walk in. This is made possible by floor to ceiling glass walls that display expansive views of the ocean, undulating hillsides, and the enchanted canyon. The living area invites reflection and relaxation with its large sliding glass doors opening to a spacious balcony and its comfortable fireplace. Not to be outdone, the dining area offers a sophisticated entertainment ambiance complete with a handy wet bar.
The gourmet kitchen is a showcase of culinary expertise, complete with gorgeous quartz countertops, stylish bamboo cabinetry, and a roomy eat-in island. With top-tier Viking, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances, it’s sure to please even the pickiest culinary fans and chefs.
This architectural marvel’s upper level is home to the master suite, a peaceful hideaway with a spa-like bath that includes a soaking tub and a decadent two-person jetted steam shower. A multipurpose media/family room on the bottom floor, complete with a separate entrance, welcomes entertainment and intimate get-togethers. An additional wet bar next this area offers convenience, and an office now used as an ensuite bedroom offers a quiet haven for business or leisure.
As soon as one steps outdoors, the beautifully manicured gardens that encircle the building fascinate them. There’s an entertainment area outside with cozy seats, a calm fountain, a cozy fire pit, and a fully functional kitchen with a commercial-quality BBQ. In addition, plenty of parking space for up to 20 cars and a two-car garage guarantee ease and security for both residents and visitors.
It is unnecessary to introduce Lupita Nyong’o given her spectacular career, which began in 2013 when she received the coveted Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her remarkable performance in the highly regarded movie “12 Years a Slave.” The 39-year-old actress has since kept up her impressive career on screen, enthralling viewers all around the world with roles in box office smashes including “Us,” “Black Panther,” and the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy. Nyong’o has demonstrated her literary ability in addition to her acting prowess by writing the children’s book “Sulwe,” a New York Times bestselling work that embraces diversity and self-acceptance.
