NBA star Kevin Garnett Agrees To Sell Half-Finished Mansion In Malibu For $16 Million

It may only be half-finished, but that didn't stop NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett from selling his mansion in Malibu for $16 million.

Garnett was asking $19.9 million for the home, but he likely realized that selling a mansion that is only half wrapped up is not easy.

The 45-year-old Garnett played 22 years in the league, starting with 14 seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves before going to Boston for six seasons to play for the Celtics.

His career wrapped up with two seasons with Brooklyn, and then two more seasons back home with the Wolves.

Garnett is set to make bank on the mansion, as he purchased it for $6.4 million back in 2003.

The mansion holds an 11,000-square-foot showplace that’s still under construction. The structure itself is there, but Garnett left the interiors unfinished to allow the buyer to complete it with his or her own personal style.

The huge home also spans seven acres off the Pacific Coast Highway, which will give the owners some amazing ocean views.

A gated driveway leads to a motor court at the front of the property, and behind the home, there’s an expansive lawn with a swimming pool and spa.

Though it’s not yet finished, the house comes with plans, permits and approval from the Coastal Commission. It looks modern in style, stretching across three stories with sharp lines and plenty of deck space out back.

Garnett, 45, played for the Timberwolves, Celtics and Nets during a decorated career that saw him win an MVP award with Minnesota and an NBA championship with Boston. In 21 seasons, he tallied 14,662 rebounds, good for ninth most in league history. He made his Hollywood debut in 2019’s “Uncut Gems” and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame a year later.

Eric Hassan and Barbara Tenenbaum of Hilton & Hyland held the listing. Griffin Ruderman of Douglas Elliman represented the buyer.
