What is Blake Griffin's net worth? Detroit Pistons player drops a cool $5.9M for 1936 two-story house in LA
Detroit Pistons' star player Blake Griffin recently purchased a mansion in Brentwood, Los Angeles, for a whopping $5.9 million. The lavish 5,893 square foot home was built in 1936 and comes with five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
Griffin got lucky with this property as the two-story house was initially listed in May for $6.698 million with Jordana Leigh of Rodeo Realty. It was then on the market for a reduced price of $5.995 million and finally brought by the basketball star, listing records show. The gorgeous house is built in the traditional/quasi-colonial style and includes a formal living and dining rooms, a media room, a kitchen, and a family room with a fireplace and large windows, according to the listing. For entertainment facilities, the house comes equipped with a pool with spa, a gym, a billiards room and a wine cellar.
There's more luxury than you can dream of, as the home's distinctly 2000s-era kitchen includes multi-colored granite countertops and top-of-the-line Viking, SubZero, and Bosch appliances, while the adjoining family room boasts a fireplace, bar area, and sliding door access to the back patio for a true indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Not to mention an upstairs bedroom which boasts of not one but three walk-in closets/dressing rooms. Sprawled over 0.53-acre parklike grounds and hidden behind tall hedges, the property has a wrap-around terrace with covered seating and a fireplace and a guest suite with its own patio, according to the listing.
Griffin really knows how to pick his properties, considering he bought a stately $19.1 million all-new mansion in a gated-community in the same area in April which he bought back in April 2020. His current residence is built in modern farmhouse style and encompasses 10,000 square feet of living space. It also comes with a two-story detached guesthouse and a backyard pool with spa.
