Inside Hayden Panettiere's Childhood Home Where She Grew Up with Her Brother — and the Nashville House Where She First Raised Her Daughter — Photos

One house held the memories of a brother and sister growing up together. Another became the place where a young mother created a comforting world for her daughter, but the fate of a third property is far more startling.

Hayden Panettiere's connection to home shifted throughout her life, from a celebrity-filled New York enclave to a playful Nashville retreat and a Hollywood Hills property purchased during her rise to fame. Each residence captured a different chapter, including the family bonds she later described as irreplaceable.

A Peaceful Address With a Famous Past

Panettiere spent much of her childhood at 129 Washington Spring Road in Palisades, New York. She lived there with her younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, from approximately 1998 until 2013, according to brokers.

The home sits in Snedens Landing, an exclusive Rockland County enclave within driving distance of New York City. Angelina Jolie also grew up nearby, adding yet another Hollywood connection to the area.

Snedens Landing has attracted a striking collection of artists and entertainers over the years. Bill Murray, Diane Sawyer, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Al Pacino, Scarlett Johansson, Björk, Jessica Lange and Uma Thurman have all been associated with the enclave.

Earlier residents reportedly included Laurence Olivier, John Steinbeck and Katharine Hepburn. Yet for Panettiere, the neighborhood's value was much more personal than its impressive list of names.

The 4,000-square-foot house where the siblings grew up was built in 1998 with a mansard-style roof. According to its January 2025 listing coverage, it returned to the market for $3.99 million.

Current owners Dr. Roopa Awal and Ashook Awal purchased it for $1.22 million in 2021. They later renovated the property with a new roof, bluestone walkways, stone walls and other improvements.

Behind its ivy-covered stucco exterior, the house opens into a marble foyer. A separate entrance also allows part of the property to function as a home office or an extended-family wing.

Oak floors, high ceilings and arched casement windows carry through the interior. Other touches include marble bathrooms, barrel-shaped dormers, a covered porch and two hand-carved fireplaces that were converted from wood-burning to gas.

The grounds have a gas fire pit, barbecue area, and landscaped gardens. A koi pond filled with lotus flowers, water lilies and frogs gives the property a charming detail that feels almost removed from Panettiere's fast-paced professional life.

Most importantly, this was the home Panettiere shared with Jansen during their formative years. After his death from an undiagnosed heart condition in February 2023, at age 28, places tied to their childhood took on a much heavier meaning.

Panettiere described the depth of that loss in September 2024. "When I lost him, I felt like I lost half of my soul," she told People.

She said Jansen had been her only sibling and that she had always felt responsible for protecting him. His death came only three weeks before the February 2023 premiere of "Scream 6," a film that had marked her return to work after years of personal struggles.

Photographers followed her in the days after the funeral, including at a private location. Panettiere said seeing those images aggravated agoraphobia she had previously experienced and left her reluctant to leave the house.

Her body also changed rapidly under the strain of grief. Panettiere attributed the weight gain to stress and cortisol, explaining that her diminished confidence made stepping outside even more difficult.

Personal trainer Marnie Alton eventually helped her begin moving forward through gradual exercise and long walks that became informal therapy sessions. "Marnie empowered me," Panettiere said.

Even as her confidence returned, she never suggested that losing Jansen was something she could simply overcome. "I will always be heartbroken about it. I will never be able to get over it," she said.

That grief later drew her back toward Rockland County. In the spring 2025 prologue to her memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning," Panettiere wrote that she had returned to live with her father, Alan "Skip" Panettiere, and stepmother for several months.

After almost 20 years living elsewhere, she found unexpected relief in familiar surroundings. Hiking, reading, golfing with her father, and walking past her childhood home helped her feel rested yet ready to challenge herself again.

"I didn't expect to stay as long as I have, but after a few hard years, I needed to give my mind, body, and soul some rest," she wrote in an excerpt covered by People.

The return also placed reminders of Jansen in nearly every room of her father's house. His paintings hung across the walls, making his presence feel so immediate that Panettiere could almost imagine him walking through the door.

She recalled him speaking too quickly and too loudly, wearing an "[expletive]-eating, ear-to-ear grin" after deliberately annoying her. She described herself as sitting with her brother's spirit in every room, an experience that helped her confront both his death and other traumas explored in her memoir.

Nashville Offered a Softer Kind of Escape

Another important home waited hundreds of miles south. Panettiere's 4,500-square-foot Nashville property at 2013 Castleman Drive became the cozy retreat she shared with Ukrainian professional boxer Wladimir Klitschko and their daughter, Kaya, then 2.

Interior designer Benjamin Vandiver helped turn the house in the Green Hills neighborhood into something far more personal than a polished celebrity showplace. His design mixed dramatic choices with comfortable rooms built around the family's daily life.

The formal dining room drew inspiration from Panettiere's love of the ocean. A large sea photograph dominated the space, while a pointed light fixture reminded her of a sea urchin.

Vandiver also installed oversized modern wingback chairs with Klitschko's 6-foot-6 frame in mind. Klitschko selected yellow fabric for the chairs, giving the elegant room an unexpected flash of color.

For the living room, Vandiver spent months searching vintage stores and antique malls across the South. His finds included a collection of "National Geographic" magazines from the 1960s and 1970s.

The designer had previously worked on the nearby home of Panettiere's former "Nashville" co-star Connie Britton. Panettiere even had a "jam room" loft built over the garage as a surprise for Klitschko. David Hicks wallpaper covered the room in a bold pattern that the actress called "epic."

The musical retreat included his-and-hers guitar storage, drums and vintage amplifiers. Autographed pieces from Justin Timberlake, Fergie and will.i.am completed one of Panettiere's favorite rooms. She could often be found playing guitar there.

Other bedrooms carried Vandiver's mix of color and texture. One guest room paired distinctive wall covering with layered bed linens, a rug and a ceiling light created by French designer Serge Mouille.

The primary suite took a calmer approach. Panettiere described feeling at ease throughout the house, saying that sense of peace was exactly what she needed after a long workday.

Yet Kaya's room held the detail that made the Nashville property unforgettable. Vandiver designed it as an ornate, feminine hideaway where mother and daughter could spend time together.

Although Panettiere was petite, she delighted in being able to curl up beside her toddler in the child-sized bed. The "Nashville" cast and crew also gave Kaya a miniature director's chair made especially for her.

"I will always remember this house because it's where I first raised my daughter," Panettiere said during a 2017 home tour. "And that's a really cool feeling."

Her Hollywood Home Met a Dramatic Fate

Before Nashville became her family retreat, Panettiere had purchased a Hollywood Hills house with her mother, Lesley Vogel. They paid $2.63 million for 7640 Curson Terrace in March 2008, when Panettiere was 19.

The purchase came two years after her breakout in "Bring It On: All or Nothing." She owned the home during her star-making role as Claire Bennet on "Heroes" and while appearing in the 2009 comedy "I Love You, Beth Cooper."

Panettiere and Vogel briefly offered the house for rent at $9,500 per month in August 2009. They lowered the price to $8,000 before withdrawing the listing that September.

In February 2014, Panettiere sold the property for $3.075 million. An LLC named Thrasher NK purchased it, beginning more than a decade of sales, ownership changes, and financing transactions.

Curson NK LLC acquired the house for $5.5 million in October 2016, with financing involving 7640 Curson LLC. By 2023, more than $12 million in debt associated with the property had fallen into default.

A January 2024 filing put the default at $12.82 million. That July, foreclosure proceedings transferred the property to Knight Development Group LLC through a trustee's deed valued at $13.45 million.

The house Panettiere once shared with her mother has since been demolished. Its half-acre lot was offered in August 2026 for $6.99 million, according to the property report.

The listing now promotes a fully approved development opportunity rather than a surviving celebrity home. Plans call for an approximately 14,705-square-foot contemporary estate designed by Roman James Design, with structural work by KOR Engineering.

The proposed mansion includes a cantilevered infinity pool, private wellness spa, rooftop sky terrace and entertainment lounge. Its "Ready-to-Issue" status means a purchaser could begin construction immediately.

Aaron Kirman, Daniel Milstein, and Gregory Romano of Christie's International Real Estate Southern California hold the listing. For all its ambitious plans, the vacant site carries no visible trace of the home Panettiere bought during one of her career's brightest periods.

Hayden Panettiere died suddenly on August 16, 2026, at age 36, leaving these homes as poignant markers of the life she built with the people she loved most. Though some have changed and one has disappeared completely, the memories attached to them remain, from the childhood rooms she shared with Jansen to the Nashville haven where she first raised her daughter.
