Despite being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers less than two months ago, NBA player Paul “PG-13” George of Palmdale, California, and his longtime partner Daniela Rajic are said to love the West Coast so much that they are renovating their local living conditions.
On the Westside of Los Angeles, George spent $16.1 million for a three-story mansion in Pacific Palisades that had elevators.
The Palisades estate has a history with celebrities. Since its construction in late 2014, three different owners have owned the mansion. The brand-new property was purchased by fellow NBA great and former Clipper DeAndre Jordan for $12.7 million in late 2015. However, he barely lived there for six months before selling it to local hedge financier Curtis Macnguyen for a million dollars less than what he had spent.
Earlier this month, Macnguyen, the owner of a portfolio of opulent Los Angeles homes, sold George the estate for $4.3 million, including real estate commissions and taxes, in an off-market transaction. If he ever lived there is unknown.
Constructed on a speculative basis by renowned developer Ramtin Ray Nosrati of Huntington Estate Properties, the massive Cape Cod-style home boasts over 10,000 square feet of living space, seven bedrooms, and ten bathrooms. It is located in the highly sought-after Riviera neighborhood.
The home features large formal living and dining rooms, Fleetwood sliding walls, and a temperature-controlled wine room.
The open-concept room plan, ornate wood paneling, vaulted ceilings, and hardwood floors of the house are all influenced by the foyer’s high ceiling and exquisite staircase.
The opulent master suite features an own balcony with views of the Pacific Ocean, a spa-like bathroom, and a sitting space. A half-court basketball court, an outdoor kitchen, a swimmer’s pool with a waterfall, and a putting green are all located in the mini-estate’s backyard.
The lower level features an indoor spa with a second pool, a gym, and massage tables in addition to a games room/lounge and a home theater with tiers of seating and wood paneling.
George has real estate experience in Los Angeles. He paid $7.4 million for a warehouse-sized residence in Hidden Hills while he was a member of the Indiana Pacers.
The San Fernando Valley behemoth is less expensive than his new Palisades residence, but it still boasts an outdoor basketball court and 16,000 square feet of living space. He lives in Hidden Hills next door to Drake, Howie Mandel, and Vin Scully.
