NBA star Chris Paul has sold his home in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, for $8.7 million, according to a person familiar with the sale.

Property records show Mr. Paul bought the Bel-Air property in 2012 for $8.495 million.

Built in 2003, the 12,200-square-foot home in the gated enclave of Los Angeles called Bel Air Crest has eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, with a laundry list of amenities, according to the listing.

The master suite has a private sitting room with its own kitchenette. The bedroom also has a fireplace, private balcony, two separate spa baths and his-and-hers walk-in closets.

The 32-year-old All-Star point guard was traded from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Houston Rockets this June.

The listing shows the mansion comes with a 12-seat home theater, a billiards room, a library, gym with a sauna and a basement wine cellar with room for 500 bottles. The property is a little more than a half-acre and includes a pool and hot tub, as well as a covered barbecue and entertainment space, according to the listing.

The Mediterranean-style house briefly found a buyer in December 2016, when its listing status changed to pending, according to Zillow. But it looks like the sale fell through around the holidays, as it was relisted right before the new year.

The basketball star later trimmed the price to $9.249 million, according to the listing, marking an almost 20% price cut from when the property first hit the market in July 2016 for $11.495 million.

Ikem Chukumerije, of Westside Premier Estates, was the listing agent.

Mr. Paul has another property in Los Angeles that is currently for sale. The 6,400-square-foot Woodland Hills home of the nine-time all-star is also listed by Mr. Chukumerije for $2.095 million.

Mr. Chukumerije declined to comment and a representative for Mr. Paul did not immediately return a phone call requesting comment.

The Los Angeles Times first reported the sale.
