One of Los Angeles’ most spectacular estates has resurfaced on the luxury market—this time with a bold new look and a story tied to NBA royalty. Once owned by Boston Celtics legend and current sports commentator Paul Pierce, the property has just completed a jaw-dropping $5 million gut renovation that elevates it to a whole new level of modern elegance.
Pierce originally purchased the home in 2009 for $6.5 million, at the height of his Hall of Fame career. Fresh off leading the Celtics to the 2008 NBA Championship and securing the NBA Finals MVP title, the forward was a household name, and this home became his retreat off the court.
Now, after years of meticulous updates, the estate is being marketed as a turnkey masterpiece. “The house is turnkey, and it’s a magnificent remodel,” says Emil Hartoonian of The Agency, who is co-listing the property alongside Marc Shevin of Douglas Elliman. “It’s really a special opportunity because, while the other houses in the community are grand and spectacular, most of them don’t have a modern feel.”
This balance of grandeur and sleek, contemporary finishes is what sets the estate apart. With its full-scale transformation, the property represents not just a luxury home but a chance to live in a piece of basketball history—reimagined for today’s most discerning buyers.
