A property advert for the home describes the interior as "very tasteful with contemporary furniture and immaculate decoration".
Centre-back Yoro, who arrived from French outfit Lille earlier this month, has already impressed Utd fans after seeing his first action in a 2-0 win over Rangers last week.
United pulled out all the stops to sign the Frenchman, fending off Real Madrid who had been circling for the youngster.
Club bosses called on former centre-back Rio Ferdinand to help get the transfer over the line.

The ex-defender even sent a video message to Yoro after his signing was confirmed, which the youngster loved.
Yoro signed a five-year deal worth around £144,000-a-week.
Manchester United's top transfer targets
The young prodigy has been promised regular game time at Old Trafford, allowing him to continue his development.
He made 32 appearances for Lille last season and could slot in alongside Argentinian titan Lisandro Martinez.
But he'll hope his new home in Cheshire will bring him better luck than England’s Greenwood.
Greenwood rented the Bowdon property after breaking into United’s first team but his contract ended amid controversy and he moved to Spain on loan last September.
He was arrested in January 2022 following allegations of attempted rape and assault.
Prosecutors later dropped all charges.
But a club internal review followed and United bosses ruled that Greenwood should ply his trade away from Old Trafford.
It led to him joining Spanish club Getafe on a season-long loan.
He has since been sold to Marseille in a £27million deal.
Manchester United Sign Leny Yoro
MANCHESTER United have confirmed the signing of Lille's 18-year-old centre-back, Leny Yoro, for £52 million.
After completing his medical and sealing a five-year contract, Yoro expressed his excitement:
"Signing for a club with the stature and ambition of Manchester United so early in my career is an incredible honour. I know about the history of young players at Manchester United and feel it can be the perfect place to reach my potential."
Yoro, United's second signing under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, follows Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee's arrival.
United's sporting director, Dan Ashworth, praised Yoro as "one of the most exciting young defenders in world football," and emphasized the club's commitment to developing young talent.
Fans celebrated the signing, with many expressing their excitement on social media.
United continue to seek additional reinforcements, particularly in central midfield, as Erik ten Hag aims to strengthen the team's spine.
Meanwhile, It seems Yoro has already convinced Manchester fans he is the real deal.
