Kobe Bryant’s former residence in Irvine, California, has quickly reappeared on the market with a new listing price of $2.6 million, reflecting a significant increase from its original purchase price. The property, which Kobe and Vanessa Bryant bought in 2013 for $1.3 million, has been extensively renovated, with upgrades valued at nearly $200,000.

Located in the prestigious, guard-gated community of the Summit at Turtle Ridge, the home has been transformed from its original traditional style into a sleek, modern masterpiece. The interior now features a chic, contemporary design, including a gourmet kitchen with an oversized marble island, custom backsplash, and high-end appliances that cater to culinary enthusiasts.

Spanning 2,400 square feet, the residence includes an elegant courtyard with planted trees, leading to swinging French doors that open into a formal dining area. The outdoor patio is equipped with a fireplace and barbecue, providing ample space for entertaining.

The Tuscan-inspired exterior is complemented by a meticulously landscaped backyard, which includes a lush garden, a Jacuzzi, and a stylish outdoor bar and barbecue area ideal for hosting guests. The master suite, likened to a luxurious hotel retreat, offers tranquil garden views and features a custom dual-vanity bathroom, a large shower, a soaking tub, and an expansive walk-in closet.

Vanessa Bryant, who has sold this property she once shared with Kobe, continues to live with their children in a nearby Newport Coast estate, maintaining her strong connection to the Orange County community.
