Kobe and Vanessa Bryant have listed one of their Newport Coast estates for $8.6 million. Don't know if that means they'll be leaving Orange County as they've been reported in recent years to have built/purchased other pads up there.
But if you'd like to gander at the 20,000-square-foot house that includes a gym, shark tank, and outdoor entertaining area with a pool and a hot tub, 10 views follow …

From the driveway …
Listed by Jordan Cohen of Re/Max Olson & Associates, the two-story, four-bedroom, seven-bathroom, Mediterranean-style home was built on a half-acre at the end of a cul de sac in 1997, when it sold for $1.7 million. Why yes, it is set behind gates.

And yes, there is a bitchen view.
Interior attributes missing from the listing ad: an “all new” 850-square-foot gym, a hair salon, a “dramatic” master suite with sitting room, a large marble bathroom, a “newly added tremendous finished” walk-in closet and a large paneled office/library with a shark tank. Wonder if one of those pets is named “Dagger?”
