the Hornet's nest

By victor andrews

W hat befits a professional basketball player most? A stylish, Mediterranean-inspired estate resting on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. These oppulent quarters are the “nest” to retired NBA Hornets player P.J. Brown and his family in a stately gated enclave. The Browns called it home while he hit the hoops in his 15-year career. With more than 13,000 square feet of living space, this welcoming wonder features seven bedrooms, with an impressive 10 full and two half baths. The comforts of home within include a contemporary gourmet kitchen, glass elevator, theater, salon and six-car garage. Outdoor living is a huge plus to this domicile, with a natural pool, tiki-inspired bar, private dock with boat lift, and, of course, a basketball court.

Eleanor Farnsworth is the listing agent for this $4.5 million property.
