Tennis superstar Naomi Osaka has a new court to conquer, and this time, it’s not on the professional circuit. The four-time Grand Slam champion recently purchased a stunning five-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion in Los Angeles for a cool $6.3 million, previously owned by none other than 98 Degrees frontman, Nick Lachey, and his wife, Vanessa Lachey.
Naomi Osaka's new house, formerly owned by Nick Lachey, features a spacious kitchen.
The luxurious property boasts an array of impressive amenities, including a spacious chef’s kitchen perfect for whipping up post-match meals, a relaxing lounge area, a stylish bar complete with a pool table, and of course, a sparkling swimming pool for those warm California days. But the real showstopper? You guessed it – a private tennis court. Now, Osaka can work on her killer serve and practice her backhand from the comfort of her own home.
The expansive living area seamlessly connects to an outdoor patio and pool.
While the addition of a home court might seem like a dream come true for any tennis enthusiast, one can’t help but wonder if Osaka will actually utilize it. After all, having access to world-class training facilities and a jam-packed schedule can make squeezing in a casual hit at home seem impossible.
The pandemic highlighted a common phenomenon: the allure of a home gym often fades once the initial novelty wears off. People invest in expensive equipment and meticulously design workout spaces, only to find themselves returning to their pre-pandemic routines at commercial gyms.
Even with a professional-grade home gym at her fingertips, Osaka might find herself drawn to the structured environment and camaraderie of a dedicated training facility.
A dedicated bar area with a pool table provides entertainment options.
Regardless of whether she logs countless hours on her private court or reserves it for the occasional friendly match, one thing is certain: Naomi Osaka’s new LA residence is a grand slam in the world of real estate.
