Taylor Mays, son of former NFL defensive lineman Stafford Mays and an NFL cornerback himself, has just listed his Hollywood Hills West contemporary for $2 million. The former USC standout was released earlier this year by the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Runyon Canyon-area home sits against a steep hillside and includes three single-car garages topped by a pair of railed patios. Inside the 2,700-square-foot house, which includes hardwood floors throughout, is a two-story entry that opens to a formal living room with corner fireplace and recessed lights.
The sleek kitchen includes elongated pulls on the dark hardwood cabinets, stainless appliances, a built-in display shelf, granite countertops and a large center island with bar seating. It stretches into a formal dining room separated from the foyer by a pony wall and opening onto a front balcony through glass sliding doors.
In the master suite, you’ll find a walk-in closet, private balcony access and a bathroom with ceramic tile and an oversized shower. All in all, the home includes three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths.
A rooftop patio with a sunken, double-wide spa also offers city and canyon views.
Mays, who reportedly purchased the house in 2014 for $1.85 million, was a three-time All-American during his time as a USC Trojan. He’s bounced around quite a bit since he was drafted 49th overall in the 2010 draft, spending time with the 49ers, Lions, Vikings and Raiders, in addition to two stints with the Bengals. In his 80 career games, he’s recorded 124 tackles, one sack and no interceptions.
