Jared Padalecki’s House

Jared has always known that he wanted to settle down and raise a family in Austin, Texas. He did just that in 2012, when he relocated with his wife, Genevieve Cortese Padalecki to a 10,600-square ft. Texas lodge. First things first, the couple decided to make the house a kid- friendly environment.

Obviously this does not mean that they live in a playhouse, but the couple tried to go for a refined yet comfortable look. So for the general design of the house, they went for a country theme and incorporated a lot of big couches to make the house more comfortable and laid back.

Some people love an abstract piece of art of a self portrait hanging on a wall or two. The Padaleckis took a more sentimental approach on that front. The couple has framed copies of their son’s footprints hanging on their walls among other notable memorabilia.

Jared admitted that his favorite part of his house is man cave, which is actually his home office. Everyone loves to be in his or her own space once in a while. He shared with People that it is his first stop when he comes home, and it is also where he enjoys alone time with a little bourbon and his guitar as he relishes his temporary freedom from his “worldly responsibilities.”
