NBA player-turned-coach Luke Walton has sold his Manhattan Beach, California home for $10.3 million.
The seven-bedroom property was sold earlier this month, just before Walton’s debut as lead assistant coach for the Detroit Pistons, who are set to play the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday—where Walton previously coached. At 44, Walton has had coaching roles with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings, following a decade-long playing career, mostly with the Lakers. He purchased the 10,000-square-foot home through a trust for $7.2 million in 2017, according to PropertyShark records.
After buying the home, Walton and his family undertook significant renovations, changing “almost every surface of the house,” as listing agent Nick Schneider of Compass explained. Walton, the son of NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton, who passed away in May at 71, wanted to personalize the space. “They loved the house, loved the bones, but wanted to put their spin on it,” Schneider added.
Walton was the Lakers’ head coach when he acquired the property, but after moving on from the team—located about an hour away—he decided to sell. “Now that he’s based in Detroit, he felt it was time to let it go,” Schneider said.
Though Schneider represented Walton in the sale, he declined to comment. The house features a grand foyer with an imperial staircase, indoor/outdoor living spaces, a sports bar, a home theater, a gym, a wine cellar speakeasy, a gift-wrapping room, and a pool and spa.
Schneider and his colleague Nathan Stagg also represented the local family who bought the property.
