Lakers forward Rui Hachimura recently made a significant real estate investment in Encino, CA. He purchased a modern residence for $7,250,000, featuring six bedrooms, 6.5 baths, and over 7,300 square feet. The house, described as a modern farmhouse, leans more towards contemporary design than rustic. The sleek exterior incorporates dark tones and ample glass to maximize natural light.

The interior showcases high-end materials like Douglas fir, white oak, natural stone, and metal and glass finishes. Notable features include a luxurious kitchen with dual islands and a butler’s pantry, a home bar, an office, a personal gym, and a screening room. The master suite offers elegant touches such as a spacious balcony, walk-in closets, a large double shower, and a soaking tub.

Outside, the private backyard boasts a pool surrounded by olive trees and cypress, along with a spa, cabana, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and lounging area. Additionally, the property includes an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) with its own living area and kitchenette.

Hachimura, the first Japanese national to be drafted in the first round of the NBA draft, joined the Washington Wizards in 2019 and won the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year award in his rookie season. After four seasons with the Wizards, he was traded to the Lakers in January 2023. Hachimura signed a lucrative three-year, $51 million contract with the Lakers in the previous summer, allowing him to make such a substantial real estate purchase.
