The Late Elgin Baylor’s Former Beverly Hills Home Lists For $5.4 Million
A Beverly Hills home once owned by late Los Angeles Lakers legend Elgin Baylor has hit the market for $5.4 million.
Baylor purchased the property for $1.4 million in 1992, roughly two decades after retiring from his Hall of Fame playing career and while he was general manager of the LA Clippers. He eventually sold the home before his death in 2021.
The Mediterranean-style home sits along a small gated street with fewer than 20 residences, positioned high above the surrounding canyons.

Entering Baylor’s Former Home
Privacy hedges and an arched wooden gate screen the property from the road, opening to a set of stairs that lead down into a landscaped front courtyard and lawn before reaching the main entrance.
Once at the entrance, a tall arched portico is framed by a pair of columns and an oversized set of double doors.
Formal Living Room
Inside, the formal living room stretches beneath a double-height vaulted ceiling, with a cast-stone fireplace centered along the far wall and the seating arranged around it.
French doors open on both sides, with one side leading to the courtyard patio and the other to an approximately 300-square-foot balcony overlooking the city and hills.
Formal Dining Room
Nearby, a separate formal dining room rises beneath a 15-foot ceiling, with a large rectangular table centered beneath a crystal chandelier.
Three oversized windows line the outer wall with views across the surrounding hills, while an open passage at the far end leads into a smaller area with a grand piano.
Family Room and Kitchen
Farther in, the family room opens directly into the Mediterranean-style kitchen, where a large marble island provides casual dining space.
Between the two spaces, another set of French doors leads onto a dining balcony.
The Views
Throughout the house, oversized windows and multiple balconies take advantage of the elevated hillside setting.
From different sides of the property, the outlook stretches toward Downtown Los Angeles, Griffith Observatory, and the Hollywood Sign, with the distant mountains also visible on clear days.
The covered balconies extend those views outdoors, creating large seating areas where the city and canyon landscape remain open beyond the railings.
Final Thoughts
Although Baylor eventually moved on from this Beverly Hills home years before his death, it still carries the mark of one of the Lakers’ early star players.
That history now sits alongside a residence with its own appeal, from the formal interiors and landscaped grounds to the multiple balconies and views across Los Angeles.
Now under different ownership and asking $5.4 million, the home offers 8,100 square feet of living space along with privacy, outdoor access, and unreal views.
