Ousted Clippers coach Doc Rivers sells Malibu beach house for $12.25 million

Published on November 24, 2020November 24, 2020 by James

It’s been a dramatic offseason for Doc Rivers. In September, the Clippers coach was fired after seven seasons with the team following a disappointing defeat in the NBA Western Conference semifinals, and he was hired as head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers less than a week later.

The big move is accompanied by a big home sale, as the 59-year-old just unloaded his Malibu beach house for $12.25 million.

Spanish in style, the two-story home enjoys an oceanfront spot in Malibu Cove Colony, one of L.A. County’s most expensive enclaves, with owners over the years including “Brady Bunch” star Barry Williams and film producer Gianni Nunnari.

Rivers’ place takes advantage of the scenic setting with pocketing walls of glass and a massive deck that descends to the beach. The main level houses the owner’s suite, a large space with a private balcony, walk-in closet and steam shower.

Safety: well water, when properly maintained, is perfectly safe to drink and use.
Availability: well water is available anywhere, even in rural areas that don’t have access to a municipal water supply.
Affordability: well water can be cheaper than paying sewer fees. You’re not hooked up to the local water supply, which means no monthly bill.

As the nation’s attention was focused on who would be the next president the day after the Nov. 3 election, Sierra Graves was busy grabbing as many of her and her three children’s belongings as she could. Just 10 minutes later, sheriff’s deputies knocked on her apartment door to evict her.

Graves, 31, rushed through her apartment in Rural Hall, N.C., gathering what her family would need for the next few days until they could find a more permanent location for their possessions. She grabbed the Chromebook her kids have been using to do virtual schoolwork since the coronavirus pandemic closed schools. She made sure to take the black work pants she would need to start her job waiting tables at the Crazy Crab seafood restaurant in nearby Winston-Salem.

But then one of the deputies said she’d need to take her family’s dog, too. That was a problem, because Graves
