The large home cost the NBA star $12.5 miℓℓio𝚗, which he paid for with the help of a nearly $9 miℓℓio𝚗 mortgage. It is situated on a 1.39-acre lot in guard-gated Hidden Hills.
The newly constructed home with East Coast classic design was sold to former owner of the Keyes Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai, and Honda stores in Van Nuys, California, auto dealership tycoon Howard Keyes for $9 miℓℓio𝚗 that same year.
The opulent mansion, which spans more than 10,000 square feet and has six bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms, is fronted by a sizable motorcourt with enough for more than ten cars. The entrance door leads into an expansive double-height foyer that is characterized by its checkerboard black-and-white stone floor and crowned by a huge crystal chandelier.
There are three short flights of stone stairs leading up to the front door. The living area, which is connected to a formal dining room and a temperature-controlled wine closet, has brown hardwood floors just beyond that.
The chef’s kitchen has not one, but two islands and is furnished with high-end appliances as well as a butler’s pantry. The next family room opens up to a large loggia with space for outdoor entertaining through large sliding doors.
On the main floor, there is also a library, a game room with a wet bar, a breakfast room with a hexagonal shape, a cinema room, maid’s quarters, and an adjacent five-car garage.
The master bedroom is located upstairs and features two designated sitting areas as well as a private balcony with views of the lovely gardens of the estate. The two master bathrooms, which are covered in expensive stone, connect to two dressing rooms with custom finishes and each have soaking tubs.
The backyard seems like an exclusive resort, despite being located deep in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley. It is dotted with rose gardens, old trees, and green lawns.
Keyes recently invested a sizable sum of money upgrading and adding to the estate’s numerous outdoor amenities. He put in a brand-new covered cabana with a fireplace, a brand-new BBQ area, and a brand-new sports court with a basketball hoop, ideal for Thompson’s at-home practice.
If Keyes’ last 𝚗ɑme sounds remotely familiar, it’s probably because Sylvester Stallone recently purchased the Hidden Hills property that his ex-wife, Margie Keyes, an Australian native, owned.
