Magic Johnson squandered his fortune after spending a lot of money on a 10,000-square-meter estate in Bel-Air

A Los Angeles Lakers player used to live in a stunning six-bedroom home located in the exclusive Moraga Estates, which is currently listed for $14.5 million. The property, represented by Compass dealer Nancy Ellin, spans 10,000 square feet and features a gated community. Among its highlights are an indoor basketball court, six spacious bedrooms, and a locker room adorned with autographs from former NBA players.

Ellin purchased the home in 2004 and has since made several high-end renovations. She shares with Mansion Global that the house has been transformed with marble finishes, custom cabinetry, top-notch appliances, and Moroccan/Spanish design elements inspired by their travels. It’s described as a truly unique living space, perfect for celebrations, complete with expansive grounds featuring a large brick patio, built-in barbecue, pool, and fire pit.

Interior Features

The entrance of the three-story residence boasts a dramatic lobby with a grand staircase and handcrafted wide wood plank flooring throughout. The formal dining room is elegantly designed with custom built-ins and a silver leaf soffit ceiling, accessible from the first level.

Just a few steps away, the spacious living area connects to a cozy family room, which includes a wood-burning fireplace and a seating rotunda styled in Moroccan fashion. Nearby, the unique chef’s kitchen is equipped with marble countertops, a seating island, and a butler’s pantry. French doors in the sizable breakfast area open to the backyard, flooding the space with natural light.

Upstairs Luxury

The second floor features a generously sized main suite, complete with a balcony, a sitting area, and a fireplace. The sleek all-white master bathroom is a stylish retreat, featuring a Jacuzzi tub and a steam shower. On the third level, there’s a large, fully equipped gym, three bunk beds for children, a guest bedroom, and a bathroom.

As expected, the property includes a custom-built indoor basketball court. For those who prefer to observe rather than play, a window in the game area allows a glimpse of friends in action. This luxurious home truly embodies the lifestyle of its former resident while offering an unparalleled living experience.
