It's a little weird that the Manhattanite is buying a new house in Los Angeles, but maybe she knows something we don't

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester has purchased a a sweet $1,457,500 home in the San Fernando Valley. Encino, to be exact (or if you want to do some stalking lolz!).

The house is 2,847 square-foot, four-bedroom home, with an yard to DIE for! There's a pool, cabana with a kitchenette and bathroom, and a built-in barbecue.

So, why the move the to LA when she is based in New York? Could Gossip Girl be coming to end? Or is someone trying to give her brother, who still lives with her mother, who she is currntely in a bitter legal battle with, a safe haven to retreat to?

Could be! Who knows! For now, just check out these pics of the home! (above)

Leighton spends her time in New York City where she films her hit CW show, so a purchase in Los Angeles — where her mom and brother live — might be a way for her to keep a closer eye on her brother.
