At 19, the Raleigh, North Carolina native had dropped out of Western Carolina University and moved to New York City, with nothing more than a pocketful of dreams.
In March of 2020, not long after wrapping production on director Steven Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story, a global pandemic would drive DeBose out of said apartment and into the country home she shares with her partner, Sue Makkoo.
“When Sue and I first met, the cottage was the place we went for peace and solace, away from the hustle and bustle of New York City,” explains DeBose. “That’s what it remained for us during the pandemic. It’s where we spent all of our time,” she says.

Even though the house is only 900 square feet, it doesn’t feel small to DeBose. “The space breathes and is well thought-out,” she says. The many windows let in both sunlight and moonlight, and offer up glimpses of the hydrangeas and peonies planted around the home. “The windows are the eyes of the home,” she says. “The windows are the art, in a way. The view of the trees and the leaves and the creek comes into the home.”
“We bring things with good energy into the home to maintain the history of the house,” says DeBose. That’s why she displays her maternal grandmother’s crystal, dries flowers from meaningful events, and collects books she finds when traveling.
