Inside Kobe Bryant’s former home — now on the market for $2.6M
Kobe Bryant’s former Irvine, California, home is back on the market for $2.6 million — less than six months after it first sold.
And the home has definitely received a makeover.
The three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom abode was first purchased by the late Lakers legend and his wife, Vanessa Bryant, in 2013 for $1.3 million.
Nine months following the five-time NBA champion’s untimely death, Vanessa listed the home for $1.995 million on Oct. 27, 2020. Only two days later, someone scooped up the home for $2 million, according to the Los Angeles Times.
But the new owner evidently had considerable plans in mind for the property.
The listing describes the property as a “completely remodeled single-story gem.”

Tucked away in the exclusive guard-gated community, the Summit at Turtle Ridge, the home in the manicured enclave of Orange County has undergone nearly $200,000 worth of renovations.
Going from mostly traditional wood cabinets and paneling to a modern white contemporary vibe, the estate boasts a gourmet kitchen with an oversize marble island, custom backsplash, professional-grade appliances and a cozy breakfast nook.

Described as being akin to “a posh hotel,” the home’s master suite includes views of the lush garden, and features an elegant custom dual-vanity bathroom, expanded shower, soaking tub and a spacious walk-in closet.

While Vanessa, 38, unloaded this investment home she initially bought with Kobe, she still remains in the five-bedroom, six-bathroom Newport Coast estate located only a few miles away along with her three children, Natalia, Bianka and Capri.
