A handsome California residence that once belonged to the legendary basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has listed for $2.99 million, The Post has learned.
The Los Angeles County property, which Abdul-Jabbar called home from 2011 to 2021, has a number of customizations to better fit the now-77-year-old former Los Angeles Laker.
“This special property offers custom features for his 7’ 2” frame including a large spa tub, shower, higher counters and door frames,” Compass agent James Allan, who holds the listing , told The Post.
The sports legend purchased the residence in 2011 for $1.52 million. In 2016, according to a Realtor.com report, he aimed to fetch $2.99 million for it. Ultimately, according to Zillow, it sold for $2.4 million in 2021. The owner and current seller couldn’t immediately be identified.
During his 20-season NBA career, Abdul-Jabbar became a 19-time NBA All-Star, a 15-time All-NBA Team member and generally gained a reputation for being one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
In 2016, then President Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The exclusive Marina del Rey community is located across from a Ritz-Carlton and the California Yacht Club.
This particular house, with four bedrooms, has more than 3,200 square feet of living space on an 8,600-plus-square-foot lot.
The double-door entryway leads to a layout including a large living room, a dining room, and an island- and breakfast-corner equipped kitchen — off of which, through sliding doors, is a patio.
The second floor has wood floors throughout and contains the bedrooms, including the primary suite. That has its own fireplace, a walk-closet and a balcony with marina views and an ensuite bath containing dual vanities, a separate steam shower and a soaking tub.
The third floor has an additional den space, off of which is another patio.
Also at the property is a two-car garage (and additional parking for up to four more cars), a whole-house water filtration system, automatic lighting and a remote-access camera security system.
