It's getting crowded on the west side! LeBron James traded in his Brentwood Park traditional in 2017 for a larger, newer, bigger, better contemporary manse just up the street in the summer of 2017 for a cool $23M. He's been enjoying the high life there (high up on a hill, with a nice view of Santa Monica and the Bay) and now he's got a new neighbor -- perhaps even richer than he! -- Formula One Group heiress Petra Ecclestone.


She's British, you may not have heard of her -- she plunked down $85 million for the Aaron Spelling mansion in Holmby Hills when she made her debut in LA, moving here from London eight years ago. Well, perhaps she decided being in smog-ridden Beverly Hills-ish wasn't so great, so she decided to downsize and move to the west side where she can breathe a bit. And it wasn't a bad deal for her -- the buyer just paid $120 million for the former spelling estate -- a record for LA County so far this year!

With just about half the profit, she picked up this Brentwood mansion for $22.7M which features 8 bedrooms, 13 baths, 4 fireplaces, and certainly tons of other bells and whistles. It's not quite completed, so she'll be able to put the finishing touches on this dream home. Perhaps she's camping out at neighbor LeBron's house while her carpenters hammer their last nails! The two mega-rich A-listers will be just across the street from each other, within cup-a-sugar-borrowing distance.


Another A-lister's preparing to move in just up the street -- an A-list couple, that is -- Michelle Pfeiffer and hubby David E. Kelley. They just bought up THREE adjacent lots in Pacific Palisades' tony Riviera neighborhood. They're already quite advanced in the construction of an architectural masterpiece by famed firm Johnston Marklee. It's a crazy cool contemporary that will house the couple's impressive art collection and which overlooks Santa Monica Bay with a spectacular hillside view. It's just around the corning from Kate Hudson, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and a billion other celebs who call Riviera home.


Just some real estate porn to tide you over on this Friday!
