The closing of LeBron James’ third residence in Los Angeles, a 13,000-square-foot Beverly Hills estate, occurred this week. The amount he paid, $36.75 million, was only slightly below the asking price of $39 million.
Established in the 1930s, the property was formerly under the ownership of the estate. Early this year marked the demise of Lee Phillip Bell, whose collaboration with the late William Bell on the serial operas The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless earned him widespread acclaim. The mansion was formerly owned by actor Charles Boyer and Howard Hughes, who leased it to Hughes’ ex-lover Katharine Hepburn.
Besides seven lavatories, two guesthouses, and four bedrooms, the residence also includes a movie theater and tennis facility. Located on an expansive 2.5 acres, this property offers breathtaking vistas of the Pacific Ocean and Beverly Hills. It is probable that James will demolish the house and build an expansive new estate in its place.
The present is an exceptional time to be a vendor in Los Angeles. According to data from Zillow, the median home value experienced a 7.4% increase a year ago. The organization anticipates a further 5.9% growth over the course of the following twelve months.
