Although he spent nearly nine years with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA, Tristan Thompson will officially play for the Boston Celtics from November. So, what is a baller who is on the move? Selling, of course, the old stump site in Ohio, as Realtor.com reported.
Thompson bought his Lake Erie home in 2015 for $ 1.9 million, which is much less than the current $ 3.25 million. The home is located in a particularly affluent part of the city, within an exclusive gated community, and weighs in at a mansion size of 6,242 square meters with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
The exterior of Thompson’s earlier digs is clad in rectangular beige and gray stone and covered with a gray roof. Inside, the house has an open floor plan, honey-colored hardwood floors, occasional gray accent wall and built-in lighting.
An expansive large room contains the living room, dining room and kitchen. The whole space is blown in natural light, thanks to a series of floor-to-ceiling windows that also offer a beautiful view of the lake. The living room is visually anchored by a large fireplace surrounded by calacatta quartz, which undoubtedly comes in handy during the cold winters in North America. A sliding door provides access to the patio.
In keeping with the windy open floor plan, the gourmet kitchen itself is completely open, allowing hosts to entertain their guests and cook at the same time, à la Julia Child. And any chef will be impressed by the large island with its sink in the farmhouse, white quartz sheets, limestone quartz backplate, modern stainless appliances and a fridge for storing pregame (and afterparty) snacks. And for the avid boozer, the house also boasts a massive wet bar – with an aquarium, no less – plus a temperature-controlled wine room.
The spacious main suite has a small sitting area, large windows overlooking the lake and a private balcony. The spa-like main bathroom has a large bath, double sinks and a free-standing steam shower with a snazzy black-and-white tiled wall. For visitors, there are three guest rooms, plus a clean family suite with a kitchenette for longer stays.
The listing is held by Linda Musarra at Chestnut Hill Realty.
This Ohio mansion is not the only real estate Thompson would like to download – he is also trying to sell a sprawling Los Angeles home for $ 8.5 million. In the off-season, he and girlfriend Khloe Kardashian currently live in a $ 10 million estate in Hidden Hills, California.
