In summer 2018, legendary basketball player LeBron James signed a four-year, $153 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, signalling his official departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers and his hometown of Akron, Ohio. Prior to the switch, James bought a sizable mansion in Los Angeles’s upscale Brentwood neighbourhood for a cool $23 million, adding another home to his already impressive real estate portfolio, which includes another L.A. mansion and his Akron home. Follow covetED and discover how to shop the look on the King’s house decor.
Dubbed a “masterpiece of light and design” by Trulia, the eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate boasts an ultra-modern aesthetic, complete with marble countertops and walls, natural French oak floors sourced from Spain, and a neutral colour palette focused on white. Built-in 2017, the property houses a gated driveway, a custom chef’s kitchen, showroom-level walk-in closets, a private patio in the master bedroom, rooftop terrace, theatre room, wine cellar, cigar lounge, an onyx bar, indoor/outdoor gym, spa (complete with steam room, sauna, shower, and massage room), oversized pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, guest quarters, and an “auto gallery”—a fancy name for a garage.
Here’s a tour of LeBron James’ newest Los Angeles home.

The courtyard laid in concentric brick circles offers plenty of space for James’ storied car collection that includes a Lamborghini Aventador, Porsche 911 Turbo S, and a restored 1975 Chevy Impala, according to Business Insider.
The airy kitchen scores with the gleaming French range, black and white bookend marble backsplash and matching island. The herringbone oak floor and burnished brass details on the lighting, range, and cabinetry add warmth.

ODETTE SOFA
BOCA DO LOBO
The bedroom has a regal feel thanks to the massive bed and the furry decor. But the best feature may be the sunny sitting area with the curvy bean sofa and tree stump tables flanked by oversized artwork.
This serious-yet-light-filled office offers a subtle nod to Hollywood with the director-inspired chairs. It’s perfect for making pitch calls or examining your portfolio under the glow of Roll & Hill’s chic Agnes chandelier.

GABLE BAR CHAIR
ESSENTIAL HOME
The bar’s deeper colour scheme creates an intimate, after-hours vibe while the glowing onyx bar adds understated wow factor. Cleverly placed mirrors always add a sense of depth and light, even in a mansion. In such a calm, neutral-hued home, the vividly coloured art flanking the bar signals this is the place to have some fun. But not too much lest you muss the shirred leather barstools.

A screening room is de rigueur for a sports celeb and this one doesn’t disappoint with its moody marbled bar, leather seating and wall-to-wall screen.
Mike Mancias, James’ trainer for 17 years, told Men’s Health last year that the basketball star’s workout has a few phases, so he needed a home gym with ample storage for weights plus foam rollers, mats, and balance balls. The overhead fan and black steel trimmed sliding doors keep it cool once he’s ready for cardio and strength training portions of the workout.
Just imagine the backyard barbecues and pool parties he’ll host here. From the luxurious baths to the expansive living room to the well-appointed bar, James’ serene and modern California home is fit for a king.
