LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will have a shorter commute to Staples Center after buying a penthouse at the Ritz-Carlton Residences at L.A. Live for $6.725 million.
The three-time all-star, who was previously seen scoping out homes on L.A.’s Westside, purchased the penthouse through a limited liability company managed by his uncle, Dennis Robertson. Last year, he used another corporate entity to buy a five-acre estate in Rancho Santa Fe for $13 million.
The location puts Leonard in close proximity to former Lakers executive Jim Buss, whose penthouse is still for sale, should he need to borrow a cup of sugar. Former Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball owns a unit a few floors down.
OFF TO THE RACES
Television and film actor Josh Lucas, who has a role in the new biographical film drama “Ford v Ferrari,” has listed his home in the Hollywood Hills for sale at $2.298 million.
The two-story contemporary, built in 1924, sits behind fences and a thicket of tall bamboo. Concrete steps lead through a tiered courtyard to reach the front of the house, which has been modernized and updated with eco-friendly features.
The 2,835-square-foot floor plan boasts wide-plank wood floors and stone fireplaces. Bi-folding doors open to the backyard for indoor-outdoor living. A saltwater swimming pool, a spa and concrete patios fill the outdoor space.
A breakfast nook adjoins a galley-style chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and a wine fridge. The master suite occupies the entirety of the second floor and has a wraparound balcony. There are three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms plus an office.
ACTORS OFFER UP L.A. HAUNT
“American Horror Story” actress Lily Rabe and “Legion” actor Hamish Linklater are close to crossing off an early New Year’s resolution. The couple’s Los Feliz home, which listed in November at $2.398 million, went under contract about three weeks after it hit the market.
There’s a lot going on in the U-shaped abode, which fits four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms into 3,400 square feet. Clerestories ring the common spaces, and angled skylights add more light to the single-story floor plan.
A polished concrete fireplace runs floor to ceiling in the indoor-outdoor living room, and the spacious kitchen tacks on teal cabinetry topped by marble countertops. Another highlight comes in the covered patio, where string lights and wood beams hang over a turf-lined lounge and dining area.
Two master suites occupy their own wing, and one opens directly to the entertainer’s backyard.
