From the Court to Home: Modest Ohio Mansion Defies NBA Superstar Standards Kyrie Irving

Originally selected first overall in the 2011 NBA Draft, Kyrie Irving made news for his Cleveland real estate purchases. For a reportedly $800,000, he bought a magnificent 5,500-square-foot house from former Cleveland Cavaliers player Daniel Gibson and his wife, Keyshia Cole. Irving lived in this magnificent house till his leaving from Cleveland and later trade to the Boston Celtics.

 

The mansion included four bedrooms and six bathrooms, so offering enough of space for Irving’s comfort. Noteworthy basketball-themed accents adorned the property, including a basketball hoop in the living room and an outdoor basketball arena. Irving most certainly made use of the mansion’s music studio, movie theatre, and home gym during his break from the basketball floor. The master bedroom and ensuite featured a luxurious walk-in closet, adding to the opulence of the residence.

 

Irving later opted to sell this magnificent house, even though he lived there at the height of his fame. First offered for $1.7 million in 2017, the house never attracted a buyer at the target price. Irving was finally had to accept a reduced selling price of $755,000.

 

Irving’s real estate activities have surely made an impact even if his stay in the Cleveland house may be a thing of the past. The pictures of the property provide a window into the opulent way of life the NBA champion savoured while in Cleveland.
