Kobe Bryant’s former residence in Irvine, California, has made a swift return to the market, listed now at $2.6 million, a notable increase from its original purchase price. The property, initially acquired by Kobe and Vanessa Bryant in 2013 for $1.3 million, has recently undergone a substantial transformation, valued at nearly $200,000.
Nestled within the prestigious guard-gated community of the Summit at Turtle Ridge, the home has been completely renovated into a modern masterpiece from its previous traditional style. The interior boasts a chic, contemporary aesthetic with a gourmet kitchen featuring an oversized marble island, custom backsplash, and top-of-the-line appliances, all perfect for culinary enthusiasts.
Outside, the Tuscan-inspired property unfolds with a meticulously landscaped backyard, enhanced by a verdant garden, Jacuzzi, and a stylish outdoor bar and barbecue area designed for lavish entertaining. The master suite, described as akin to a luxurious hotel retreat, offers serene garden views and includes an opulent custom dual-vanity bathroom, an expansive shower, a soaking tub, and a generously proportioned walk-in closet.
Vanessa Bryant, having sold this investment property she once shared with Kobe, continues to reside with her children in a nearby Newport Coast estate, ensuring her connection to the Orange County community remains strong.
