NBA Star Chris Paul’s L.A. Home Bounces on the Market for $16.5 Million
Image Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images After almost four years of ownership, Chris Paul (affectionately known as “CP3”) is moving on from his Los Angeles estate. The nearly 1.4-acre spread, tucked away in the heart of Encino, is back on the market for a smidge under $16.5 million.
The 12-time NBA All-Star—who played for the Golden State Warriors in the 2023–24 season and could soon be a free agent—acquired the modern farmhouse-style home for roughly $11 million back in spring 2020, shortly after it was newly built.
Resting amid a gated cul-de-sac parcel, the white wood-sided and stone-accented structure has eight bedrooms and 12 baths in 12,830 square feet of two-level living space equipped with dual offices, a glass-encased wine display, and a movie theater.
There’s also a two-story guesthouse and an open-air cabana with its own bath, along with a gym, a sports court, a saltwater pool, a four-car garage, a generator, and a guard house.
