LeBron James is reportedly not buying a property in the Hollywood Hills, despite rumors to the contrary. He is, however, looking to purchase a new home.
Several news agencies falsely reported that LeBron James, a superstar with the Lakers, had bought a breathtaking Bird Streets mansion for $52 million not long ago. All of these allegations stem from a remark he made in April on an Instagram post by the high-end real estate account Mega Mansions. The article showcased a stunning home that was supposedly up for grabs at $52 million. James couldn’t help but ask, “Who owns this place?” Is it on sale? Looking for a companion.
The home, however, is no longer for sale; an overseas buyer paid $42.5 million for it in January.
With six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and sixteen thousand square feet of living space spread out on a half-acre promontory site, the estate is certainly stunning. The contemporary home, which can be reached via a floating footbridge, features an abundance of amenities such as a movie theater, a golf simulator, a cigar room, a wine cellar, a gym, and many wet bars; it also flawlessly mixes indoor and outdoor living spaces. In the backyard, you’ll find a modern swimming pool that encircles the entire property, with a sunken couch in the middle. Views of the entire area are available from the rooftop balcony and second-floor lounges.
Even though the rumors about this house are unfounded, LeBron James is looking to buy a new place to call home. Unnamed real estate sources say the 35-year-old athlete is looking at properties on the Westside, specifically in Bel-Air and Beverly Crest.
Currently, LeBron James has two Westside properties: one is a new mansion in the same neighborhood that he bought for $23 million in 2017 and the other is a 9,440-square-foot conventional house that he bought in Brentwood for $21 million five years ago.
A few months ago, LeBron James’s waterfront Miami property was put up for sale for $13.95 million, in case anyone wanted to live like him.
