The six-time MVP, 77, lived in the stunning Californian home during the 1990s.
Originally built in 1956, the mansion offers incredible views of the Pacific Ocean from its elevated position.
Abdul-Jabbar made extensive renovations to the property over two decades ago.
The NBA icon built an indoor sports court, a gym, a spa, and a steam room, per Elite Agent.
He lived in the 6,300-square-foot property until 2001, per The Daily Mail.
It has been owned since 2006 by tech entrepreneur Jim Demetriades, who has made it into a stunning modern space.
The property features four bedrooms and five bathrooms, as well as sweeping glass walls throughout.
Inside there is a sunken living room and a state-of-the-art kitchen, complete with an eat-in island.
Kareem’s half-court basketball space remains, as well as the spa and gym area.
Outside, a luxurious swimming pool offers incredible views of the Los Angeles skyline.

Abdul-Jabbar is known to be a petrolhead and is the proud owner of a fleet of luxury vehicles.
The property boasts a huge garage complete with space for four cars, as well as a spacious motor court.
Abdul-Jabbar is one of the NBA’s most iconic players.
He was the No. 1 overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks in 1969 and won six rings over his two-decade career.
