When Josh Groban was four, some unwanted guests began crashing his family's Malibu mountain homestead. "Coyotes started coming into the yard," says the singer. "My brother, Chris, was a baby and I was a toddler, so having coyotes around wasn't a good idea." Eventually, Groban's parents, Jack, an executive recruiter, and Lindy, an interior designer, transplanted the family from Malibu to a Tudor-style spread in L.A.'s stately enclave of Hancock Park (where this photo was shot). Though Groban now lives in his own two-bedroom apartment in L.A., he considers the Hancock Park house his home. "It's the warm-and-fuzzy place," he says. "Even now, when I come home from touring, I go there to soak up the atmosphere." And probably do his laundry.
