Where did Hestia live since she wasn't an olympian?

On Olympus. Ganymede wasn't "an Olympian", either, but he was the cupbearer for the gods on Mt. Olympus. The term "the Twelve Olympians" is used to designate twelve of the most important gods and goddesses, but they weren't the only dwellers on Olympus. (Also, Hestia is included in some lists of the Twelve Olympians, as befitting her status as Zeus' elder sister.)
