LeBron James to Tear Down $37 Million Mansion and Build Dream Home. LeBron James, the NBA superstar, has made the decision to tear down his $37 million mansion in Beverly Hills, California, and construct his “dream home” from scratch. The 13,000-square-foot Spanish Mission-style mansion, purchased by James in 2020, will be replaced with a new residence that reflects his personal vision.
James had been involved in a legal bаttle for building permits since acquiring the property three years ago. The mansion boasted impressive features such as vaulted ceilings, seven fireplaces, four bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a screening room, a trophy room, and a breakfast courtyard with a teal-tiled fountain. The expansive 2.5-acre plot also included a pool, pool house, tennis courts, and a grand driveway gate.
While the exact design of James’ new home remаins unknown, speculation suggests that he may opt for a sleeker aesthetic, potentially moving away from the bronze sculptures that adorned the previous property. His other residences, including a 12,000-square-foot Miami mansion and his primary residence in Brentwood, California, embrace a contemporary approach with all-white interiors and a minimalist style.
The rebuilt mansion is expected to serve as James’ retirement haven when he eventually cocludes his NBA career. Despite some public contemplation about retirement following the Los Angeles Lakers’ Western Conference Finals defeat to the Denver Nuggets, James is widely anticipated to return for his 21st season in the upcoming fall.
Recent rumors surrounding the Lakers indicate that the team plans to maintain a similar roster after making midseason adjustments around James and his fellow star, Anthony Davis, following their playoff elimination.
