Anthony Davis bought a Los Angeles home a few months after signing a $190 miℓℓio𝚗 contract with the Lakers. The Real Deal said that the Chicago native spent a stunning price for a mansion in Bel Air Crest, a guard-gated neighborhood in the highlands between Bel Air and the San Fernando Valley.
Bel Air Crest, built in the late 1980s and early 1990s, has 200 Mediterranean-style mansions with individual driveway gates. Gordon Ramsay, Kathy Gryphon, Kim Kardashian, and Kanye West lived in Bel Air Crest while building their Hidden Hills mega-mansion.
Public records show Davis paid $31 miℓℓio𝚗 for his new home and took out a $20,1 miℓℓio𝚗 mortgage. He never listed his home. The 20,000-square-foot mansion on a 3.5-acre peninsula with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island is the neighborhood’s largest and most luxurious.
According to property records, local family the Changs built the eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half-bathroom home in 2010. In 2016, Ted Foxman, a retired semiconductor entrepreneur turned real estate developer, bought the flawlessly symmetrical structure for $10 miℓℓio𝚗.
It is best described as an International-style, European-influenced chateau fusion rendition of the White House. Foxman then spent miℓℓio𝚗s restoring the vast property’s interiors and landscape, which is now lush and lively.
Foxman also added bright colors and parked a classic Porsche 356 in the living room, which was painted aqua. Lonni Paul, an L.A.-based interior designer, photographed his work for Elle Decor last year.
The double-height vestibule’s huge dome creates a solarium-like environment. A guitar jam room, gaming area with a wet bar, wine cellar, and movie theater are among the many small rooms.
Despite its size, the property’s main attractions are the spectacular vista and the 120-foot Olympic-quality pool. A poolside cabana, endless lawns, and a full-size tennis court are other highlights.
Davis sold his Westlake Village mansion in 2020 for a loss of $1 miℓℓio𝚗. Foxman, who more than tripled his money on the Bel Air sale to Davis—before taxes and restoration expenses—downsized to a $13.8 miℓℓio𝚗 Encino house with a basketball court and 13,000 square feet of living space.
