One of Disney Channel's favorite stars today, especially among its young viewers, is Debby Ryan, who played the lead role in the hit TV series "Jessie". The comic live-action show tells the story of a young lady who has lived her childhood inside a military base in Texas, but eventually found her way to the concrete jungle of New York driven by her aspiration to be an actress.
But as her fate would have it, Jessie would end up babysitting the kids of an affluent and jet-setting New Yorker couple. Set inside a luxury Upper West Side penthouse, the TV show follows Jessie's new life and her adventures as a nanny to the four unruly but endearing children.
Far from her character in the show though, Debby Ryan is her own master in real life.
The 21-year-old actress has just bought, via a trust, her very own Hollywood Hills pad for $1.175 million, as told by Variety. The property, which was built in the 40's, is "a micro-compound on a ridgeline cul-de-sac". You can check out some of the photos inside and on the outside of this hilltop abode here.
The two-story home, which has just been given a major facelift, has three beds and 2.5 baths. The main structure is nestled atop 1,935 square feet of prime lot in this Los Angeles, California neighborhood. The upper level of the house is actually on ground-level with the road -- a typical design for many homes sitting on ridgelines.
Upon entrance to the main door at the upper level, one will be greeted by the kitchen, a stairway leading to the lower level, and a bedroom to the right. Moving in further past the kitchen is the dining area flanked by the living space to the right, which in turn, leads to a viewing deck offering a spectacular sight of the canyon below.
Down at the lower level, another living room and bedroom can be found. A door on each side of the floor will lead you to a wide open space on one side and to a detached, two-story structure on the other. This could possibly serve as a guest house with an en-suite bath, or a villa-type master bed equipped with its very own office space.
Debby is also best remembered for her roles on the other Disney Channel original series "The Suite Life On Deck" and its spin-off, "The Suite Life With Zack & Cody", the Hollywood Life notes.
The young actress has also dedicated a part of her life for an environmental advocacy and some charitable cause.
"I was raised to volunteer: nursing homes, clinics, church nurseries, school, everywhere that could use help. It's such an intrinsic part of me, to use my life to help improve the quality of other," she was quoted saying.
