Oct. 23--Pro basketball player Gordon Hayward, who plays for the Utah Jazz, has purchased a tennis court estate in Rancho Santa Fe for $3.35 million.
Set on more than two acres in gated Fairbanks Ranch, the home centers on Spanish-style main house with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms in 7,550 square feet. A detached pool/guest house, separate maid's quarters, lighted tennis court, swimming pool and spa are within the landscaped grounds.
Two floors of living include a rotunda entry that opens to a formal living room with barrel-rolled ceilings and a tiled fireplace. A center-island kitchen, dining room and den/office are among the other common areas.
Centering on mountain views, the second-floor master suite sports his and hers bathrooms and dressing rooms.
Glass doors open to a trellis-topped patio with an outdoor living room, a summer kitchen and a fireplace. Elsewhere is a four-car garage.
The home came on the market in May for $3.595 million, property records show. It previously sold for $2.75 million in 2001.
Laura Barry of Barry Estates was the listing agent. Rande Turner of Ranch and Coast Real Estate represented Hayward, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
Hayward, 25, averaged a career high 19.3 points a game for the Jazz last season, his fifth with the team. The forward is in the second year of a four-year, $63-million contract.
