A home in Coconut Grove, Florida, that belonged to NBA star LeBron James just sold for $18.5 million.
This property belonged since 2021 to Jeff Conry, former president of the airline iAero Airways based in Phoenix, Arizona. Now the place has passed into the hands of John Lie-Nielson, founder and CEO of One Park Financial, and his wife Darling Nielsen.
What has caught the most attention about this news is that Conry bought the place two years ago for $12.8 million dollars, which means a 44% increase in its price. Originally expecting $20 million, Jason Zarco of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices was tasked with finding a buyer.
It should be noted that the same property was sold by LeBron James in 2015 for $13.4 million dollars, this sale occurred a year after the NBA star left the military with the Miami Heat.
Leaving aside the reductions and increases in housing prices, one of the characteristics that stands out the most is that it is located in front of 80 feet of water from Biscayne Bay.
The house is built on a 0.45 acre lot and has an area of 13,930 square feet distributed in six bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, foyer, living room, great room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, bar, game room, sauna, gym and other amenities.
One of the great attractions of the residence are its large floor-to-ceiling windows, which allow the owners to have a privileged view of the sea.
In addition to the main house there is a garage with capacity for three vehicles and a guest house with all the necessary amenities.
Outside there are green areas, a swimming pool, a spa area, a terrace, a dining room, a private dock and other spaces ideal for enjoying the outdoors with family or friends.
