Zooey Deschanel, who has starred on the television series New Girl for the last four years, now gets to be one in Manhattan Beach.

The actress purchased a home for $4.569 million in the airport-close coastal community, which is popular with sports stars and celebrities.

Built last year, the Cape Cod-inspired two-storey house of 5,166 square feet opens to a flagstone patio with heaters.

Listing details say there's also room for a sports court and a swimming pool on the 8,808-square-foot grounds.

A family room with a limestone fireplace, a bar, six bedrooms and seven bathrooms are among the living areas.
