In 2018, Anthony Davis purchased his Westlake Village home at just under $7.5 million, which he recently sold at loss. While Davis splurged $8 million on renovations to the Mediterranean style residence, the home ultimately sold for $6.6 million in January. However, with his most recent real estate purchase of a Bel Air estate appears to be a score. According to a trust associated with Davis, the off-market deal of his new property closed last month at a price of $32 million. Although a quiet transaction for a superstar player, the lavish state of his newfound home speaks for itself.

Previous owner, Ted Foxman purchased the Bel Air property in 2016 at a price of $16 million. Throughout his stay, he spent two years renovating it. Several significant transformations were made to the home as showcased in Elle Decor. The 16,700 square foot villa style estate spans 3.5 acres with eight bedrooms and eight full bathrooms. Beyond the gates of the Bel Air Crest community, the home opens to a great hall with an extravagant 35-foot glass dome ceiling. Further inside the property presents an entertainment style living room, formal dining room equipped for 20, and ultramodern eat-in kitchen with a butler’s pantry. The eight bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and three powder rooms highlight picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. The estate is equipped with a plethora of entertainment options such as a home theater, game room, wet bar, Olympic sized pool, full sized basketball court, tennis court, and nearby golf course and canyons. Decorative highlights of the home include custom stone, marble, and walnut wood floors.

Back in December, the famed forward shed $23 million on an eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate in the swanky neighborhood of Brentwood. The 15,846-square-foot contemporary residence, built in 2017, rests at the end of a winding driveway behind private gates.

Despite its modern, high-tech touches, the house exemplifies a traditional aesthetic with an emphasis on natural light and materials, such as French oak and marble reclaimed from Spain.

A theater room, a wine cellar, a cigar room and an onyx bar provide ample opportunities for entertainment, while an auto gallery – that also doubles as a garage – offers the perfect exhibit place for James’ fleet. A pool, a spa and a state-of-the-art gym (a requirement given that James keeps a rigorous five-day workout routine even in the off-season) shape out the amenities.

James’ other LA home, a $21-million estate, is not far away. Also in the celebrity-studded Brentwood community, the house spans some 9,440 square feet, envisioned by architect Ken Ungar.

Perhaps, James has a proclivity for houses that blend the modern and the traditional, because the residence, which he purchased in 2015, is another portfolio pick that embodies the two.  A gabled roof, dormer windows and a stone façade elevate the design, which also includes a backyard pool, cabana and several patios.

Aside from his two properties in Los Angeles, James owns a mansion in his native Akron, Ohio, where he is erecting a public school for low-income, at-risk youth.

The 33-year old basketball player parted with a three-story mansion in Coconut Grove, Florida, collecting $13.4 million in the process, when he moved from Miami Hear to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2015.
