NBA legend LeBron James has picked up a brand-spanking new home in Brentwood. James is the first owner of the home, which was completed just this year. The land sold about two years ago for a bit more than $5 million; the spec-built house was listed for $30 million prior to purchase by Mr. James.

The house is a big one: nearly 16,000 square feet of living space, with eight bedrooms and 11 baths throughout. Amenities and specialized rooms pack the home, with a wine cellar and tasting room, home theater, cigar room with air cleaning system, bar and entertainment room, billiards room, home fitness center with steam room and massage room, office, and rooftop terrace with elevator access. Materials are also employed with the object of dazzling the unprepared: marble reclaimed from Spain is used extensively throughout as a textural motive, and French oak floors, slate roof, mahogany dressing rooms, and an onyx bar present a variety of surprises during a tour.

The home’s architecture is French-inflected contemporary, with whitewashed brick and timber exterior walls. Interiors downplay outright ornament, finding expression in materials, classic check and herringbone patterns, and a comprehensive definition of luxury. Plain steel-framed windows and sliding glass doors, and a mix of chandelier and pendant lighting, and a simple hardwood staircase with wrought-iron balusters and bronze handrail place the style somewhere between minimal and very flashy.

The lot extends to nearly seven-tenths of an acre. The grounds are very groomed, with lawns, an outdoor kitchen, and a pool/sunlounge filling out the property.

James’ years with the Cavs are the stuff of NBA legend. After a tenure in Miami, he returned to Cleveland in 2014, but is expecting to depart again at the end of this season.
