She made a small fortune as the star of hit children's TV show iCarly.

And it seems teenager Miranda Cosgrove is wise beyond her years, as she has invested some of her fortune to buy a $2.65m home in the Hollywood Hills, according to Trulia Luxe Living.

The 19-year-old will certainly have plenty of room to hold pyjama parties in the three bedroom house, which has been recently renovated.

She has cash to burn after raking in around $180,000 per episode of iCarly, which made her the one of the highest-paid child stars on television.

And since its five year stint at the top came to an end in November, what better time to prudently invest in a spot of prime real estate.

The posh property will be the perfect place for the cerebral star to stay while pursuing her degree at the University of California's Los Angeles campus.

It is located conveniently near to the lecture halls and classrooms she will attend while studying for a degree in theatre and writing.

It is certainly spacious, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a 12,699 square foot lot.

The renovated, traditional home has was meticulously designed by the owner, with no expense spared.

It features gloriously detailed en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom, though perhaps most importantly for the young starlet, there is a walk-in closet that offers plenty of room to store her shoes.

She will also be able to hone her domestic goddess skills in the gourmet chef’s kitchen with Carrera marble, Subzero commercial refrigerator, Viking range and Bosch dishwasher.

There is also a media and family room with wet bar, and gracious living and formal dining rooms.

But perhaps most importantly for the actress, who has a horde of fanatical supporters, the property is completely hedged and fenced in the front and back for privacy.

The grassy garden features a re-plastered pool and spa, covered pavilion with flat screen TV, and multiple sitting areas.

An imperial place to lather: The clean living star will surely enjoy plenty of sessions in the standalone tub

Water wonderful feature: She will be thankful for the pool and spa when the sweltering California summer comes
