Kobe Bryant’s former Irvine, California residence, located in a prestigious guard-gated community, offers a glimpse into his legacy.
The home, originally purchased by Kobe and Vanessa Bryant in 2013 for $1.3 million, features a spacious layout with elegant finishes.
After Kobe’s passing in early 2020, Vanessa listed the property in October of that year for $1.995 million, quickly selling it for $2 million just two days later.
Recognizing its potential, the new owner undertook significant renovations to modernize the space.
The renovations shifted the aesthetic from traditional wood finishes to a sleek, modern design.
Luxurious Features
This fully remodeled Tuscan-style residence, now valued at $3.6 million, spans 2,400 square feet with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
The master suite offers tranquil garden views and a spa-like bathroom with dual vanities, an expanded shower, a soaking tub, and a walk-in closet.
Recently upgraded with nearly $200,000 in enhancements, the home features a gated courtyard, an elegant foyer, a formal dining room, and a side courtyard with a water fountain.
The gourmet kitchen is designed with an oversized marble island, custom backsplash, professional-grade appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook.
Perfect for entertaining, the meticulously landscaped backyard includes a Jacuzzi, a built-in barbecue, and plenty of space for dining.
While Vanessa has moved on from this particular property, she continues to reside in a nearby Newport Coast estate with their three daughters, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri, keeping the family close to their roots in Orange County.
