Lakers basketball star Kobe Bryant’s house in the Pelican Ridge community is in escrow.

The asking price on the house is $6.45 million, several price chops below the $8.59 million price tag in August 2013.

Built in 1997, the four-bedroom house on a cul de sac in the guard-gated neighborhood has 8,471 square feet of living space and includes a shark tank in a large office/library, according to the listing. The house also boasts a hair salon, home theater with a lobby, and an 850-square-foot gym.

The home, behind its own set of private gates, has an “extra-deep” swimming pool, spa, lush gardens, fire pit and an outdoor kitchen, according to Jordan Cohen of Re/Max Olson & Associates, the listing agent. “All remodeling was done by the current owners,” the listing says.

The mediterranean-style house is one of three homes in Newport Coast that Bryant and his wife Vanessa have owned in recent years.

In January 2013, the couple sold a home around the corner from their Pelican Ridge residence for $3.2 million.

Seven years ago, the Bryants bought a house under construction in Pelican Crest, another guard-gated community less than two miles away. Records show the partly completed home was purchased for $9.45 million. The nearly one-acre property has sweeping coastline views.

A listing at the time described the Pelican Crest home as a roughly 14,500-square-foot, three-story Santa Barbara-style residence, with six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, along with a private pool and five-car garage. A building permit issued for that residence also called for a two-level sport court.

The average list price in all Newport Coast communities is $6.8 million, higher than any other Orange County ZIP code, says Steven Thomas in Reports on Housing.

While the Pelican Ridge house is under contract, backup offers are being accepted, according to Redfin, a real estate website.

Cohen could not be reached for comment.
