Actor Kevin James, who rose to fame with roles on his own television show “King of Queens” and as opposite to Will Smith in “Hitch,” has parlayed his further comedic roles on screen into well-deserved success, and he’s due to make a good return after placing his Delray Beach, Florida, property on sale for $28.85 million.
James’ mansion sits on three well-maintained ocean-view acres that the “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” star purchased for $22.75 million over two sales in 2012 and 2013.
The entire estate comes in at a total of more than 26,000 square feet of living space between the main house and guest apartment with a total of 8 bedrooms, 9 full bathrooms, and 3 half baths.
The well-appointed home also features formal living and dining rooms and a cypress-paneled library that all feature large fireplaces. There is also another fireplace in the solarium space that features a baby grand piano.
A family room, media lounge, and a large eat-in kitchen with a barrel-vaulted red brick ceiling and commercial-grade appliances all add character to the large home. The finished basement also holds a walk-in wine cellar, a gym, a spa, a massage suite, and a children’s play area.
Outside is a large grassy recreation area, a children’s playground, a swimming pool with a poolside pavilion that also holds an al fresco lounge area, a fireplace, and a complete kitchen with a built-in grilling station, making it the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining.
