LeBron James is getting busy this offseason. After purchasing a home that Kathryn Hepburn previously lived in for a casual $36.8 million back in 2020, the Los Angeles Lakers star demolished the home and began construction on his “dream home.” It took two years of legal wrangling before he could start the job, but this week, the project has at long last got underway.

The home was first built back in the 1930s and was originally owned by famed actor Charles Boyer before he sold it to billionaire Howard Hughes. Hughes subsequently leased it out to Hepburn. It changed hands a few more times before William Brent Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, the creators of The Young and the Restless, bought it for $2.9 million in 1986.

Pictures of the 250-acre plot as well as the original home are available on The Daily Mail. The original home had a fully lit tennis court, multiple al fresco dining areas, a full theatrical indoor cinema and no less than seven fireplaces. Clearly, however, LeBron has some grander plans for the property.

One of the greatest players of all time, LeBron James' season didn't end as planned. The Lakers' loss to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals was closer than the 4-0 scoreline suggested, but a sweep is a sweep, and however close the games, it brought a premature conclusion to his 20th season in the NBA. After two years of legal hurdles, however, his offseason appears to have started pretty well.
