Hot Property: Clippers center DeAndre Jordan buys house in Pacific Palisades
L.A. Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, who nearly joined the Dallas Mavericks this offseason before a last-minute change of heart, has made himself at home on the Westside, buying a newly built house in Pacific Palisades for $12.7 million.
Located near a home owned by teammate Blake Griffin, the Cape Cod-inspired three-story home has 10,500 square feet of living space — slightly more than the size of two basketball courts.
Accessed by way of a gated garden complete with a cascading waterfall, the home opens to a chandelier-topped grand foyer with a floating-style staircase.
Dark wood floors, paneled walls and neutral tones set off the open-plan interiors. Among public areas is a formal living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room with diamond-shaped coffered ceilings and a center-island kitchen. A glass-enclosed wine cellar sits off the family room.
A lower entertainment level is decked out with a home theater with a 130-inch screen, stadium seating and floor-to-ceiling suede panels. There’s also an indoor exercise pool, a gym, an elevator and an office accessed by a hidden bookshelf.
The master retreat sports a massive bathroom with a soaking tub, a walk-in closet with glass-enclosed built-ins and a private balcony. There are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms in all.
On the main level, sliding glass pocket doors open the home to a tiered patio with a fire pit accentuated by multicolored LED lighting. An elaborate waterfall feature, an outdoor kitchen, a lawn and a swimming pool with a raised spa fill the nearly half-acre setting.
Anthony Marguleas of Amalfi Estates was the listing agent. Joshua Goldstein of Nourmand & Associates Beverly Hills represented Jordan in the sale.
Jordan, 27, resigned from the Clippers in July after initially committing to the Dallas Mavericks at the start of NBA free agency. The eight-year center out of Texas A&M University has led the league in rebounds the last two seasons and averaged a career-high 11.5 points last season.
He will earn $87.6 million over the next four years with the option to end his contract after the third year.
Going big in Thousand Oaks
Singer Britney Spears has snagged another estate in Thousand Oaks — this one for $7.4 million.
The 21-acre spread includes a 12,464-square-foot Italian villa, a three-green golf course with sand traps, a lighted tennis court, an infinity pool, a spa and an orchard.
A dramatic two-story entry opens to a great room with a 35-foot-tall ceiling. An oak-walled library, a formal dining room, a media/game room, five bedrooms and eight bathrooms plus a detached pool house with a kitchen are among the living areas.
A 3,500-bottle wine cellar and an elevator are among other features.
The property is in an enclave originally developed by actors Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis.
Nicole Van Parys and Kevin Nguyen of Engel & Voelkers were the listing agents, the Multiple Listing Service shows.
Spears, 33, gained a pop following in the 1990s and remains one of the top-selling singers of all time, according to the Recording Industry Assn. of America. Her eight albums include “... Baby One More Time” (1999) and “Britney Jean” (2013).
She bought a 8,456-square-foot home in Thousand Oaks in 2012 for $6,744,500.
$7.2 million is just the number
Rob Morrow of “Numb3rs” fame has put his house in Santa Monica up for sale at $7.2 million.
Designed by architect Melinda Gray, the three-story house is described as “modern-classic style” in the listing. The loft-like space is divided on the main floor by an industrial-vibe staircase. A bold, black fireplace and exposed stud ceilings are among the eye-catching details.
Family, dining and entertaining spaces, a library, a music studio, a plush-walled screening room, a gym, four bedrooms and four bathrooms — one in vibrant purple tile — are within the more than 4,000 square feet of living space.
Walls of glass open to the swimming pool, spa and gardens on the one-third acre lot.
Morrow, 53, gained early notice as Dr. Joel Fleischman on the Emmy-winning 1990s television series “Northern Exposure.” He starred on “Numb3rs” from 2005 to 2010, followed by the TV drama “The Whole Truth” (2010-11). Morrow is working on “American Crime Story” episodes that will air next year.
The actor bought the property in 2007 for $4.3 million and had been offering it for lease starting in June at $30,000 a month.
Frank Langen of Deasy Penner & Partners is the listing agent.
A place to pass medieval times
Megadeth co-founder Dave Mustaine is ready to part with his estate in northern San Diego County’s Fallbrook community for $5.375 million.
The lead singer and guitarist of the metal band owns the sprawling 9.5-acre spread that includes vineyards, pastureland and a pond.
The country English-style main residence, built in 1990, is reached through gates and a long winding driveway. A red British phone booth sits outside the gates.
Inside, rock and stone work, decorative painting and soaring ceilings with heavy beams give the 5,345 square feet of living space a castle-like air. Leaded and stained glass, wrought ironwork and 10 fireplaces add to the overall Old World ambience.
Living and dining rooms, a paneled media room/den, a bar, an office, a gym, five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and two powder rooms are among the living spaces.
A state-of-the-art sound and recording studio occupies what once was a pool house. A control room, a reception room and a producer’s boarding room are among the facilities.
A guesthouse/carriage house sits above the detached three-car garage. Well water is used for irrigation.
Mustaine, 54, was the original lead guitarist for Metallica before he and bassist David Ellefson formed Megadeth in 1983. The influential thrash metal band will release its 15th studio album, “Dystopia,” next year.
Kim Murphy of Weichert Realtors Murphy & Murphy is the listing agent.
