The former home also included a full theatrical screening room and seven fireplaces placed around the huge property

After Hepburn moved out, the home was owned by non-celebrities for many years until 1986, when it was bought for $2.9m

Other amenities included ‘multiple al fresco dining and entertaining areas, and a lighted tennis court with viewing pavilion’

When he does eventually walk off the court for the final time, James has spoken openly about his desire to own an NBA expansion team in Las Vegas.

After playing in a preseason game in Sin City last year, he said of the location: ‘It’s wonderful. It’s the best fanbase in the world and I would love to bring a team here at some point. That would be amazing.

‘I know Adam [Silver] is in Abu Dhabi right now I believe with the Bucks and Atlanta, but he probably sees every single interview and transcript that comes through from NBA players so, I want the team here Adam, thank you.’

On the court, James has been in Los Angeles for five seasons – and clearly sees his long-term future in the California city

James’ son Bronny is also an up-and-coming basketball star, and he will attend the University of Southern California this year

But regardless of whether that plan comes to fruition, James has certainly made a big commitment to the city of Los Angeles, with the purchаse of the land and his plans to build his perfect home in Beverly Hills.

The next few years will also likely see his son Bronny – and potentially his second son Bryce – grace the NBA court as they continue their rise through the ranks.

Bronny recently signed with the University of Southern California, keeping him in the close vicinity of his dad’s new work-in-progress mansion.

USC is less than a 30 minute, 10-mile drive from the Beverly Hills home – another reason LeBron may be keen to stay in town for the foreseeable future.
