If you happen to have some extra cash lying around, approximately $12 million to be exact, and are on the lookout for a new place to call home, there's a unique opportunity just waiting for you. Former NBA player, Dwight Howard, has recently put his stunning house on the market and it's situated in the outskirts of Atlanta.
According to The Robb Report, this lavish property, located in Suwanee, is currently listed for $11.25 million and it's owned by none other than the former Orlando Magic star himself. Described as a luxurious European-style residence, it sits about 35 miles from the heart of Atlanta and has been in Howard's possession for over seven years now.
The extravagant mansion was originally built back in 2010 with an estimated cost of $40 million. Howard then purchased it in 2016 for a whopping $8.8 million while he was playing for the Atlanta Hawks, as reported by Footboom. The Atlanta Business Chronicle revealed that the property covers over 14 acres of land and boasts a massive 32,000 square feet of living space. Inside, you'll find 10 bedrooms, 12 full bathrooms, nine half bathrooms, six full kitchens, a game room, a movie theater, and a private gym.
The main kitchen is equipped with a large adjacent scullery and a walk-in pantry complete with remote-controlled shelving. On the main floor of the house, there is an oversized bedroom suite with a private balcony and dual custom closets. There are also six fireplaces scattered throughout the interior and exterior, including a set of spiral stone staircases that lead to the backyard.
One of the most impressive features of this property is the private lake, where you can enjoy a peaceful afternoon of fishing or take a stroll around its serene surroundings. There is also a half-court basketball court and a heated saltwater swimming pool for those looking to stay active and cool off during the hot summer months. And for any car enthusiasts out there, the pool house and garage can easily accommodate more than 10 vehicles.
If this sounds like the perfect place for you, it's currently listed with Kelly Anderson of Engel & Volkers Atlanta. And while Howard may be looking to sell his former home, he's not quite ready to retire from the NBA just yet. In fact, he's still actively seeking a team to join in hopes of making it to the playoffs and winning another championship ring. His dream scenario? Rejoining forces with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. Howard was originally drafted as the No. 1 pick by the Orlando Magic in 2004 and led the team to the NBA finals in 2009. However, it wasn't until 2020, while playing for the Lakers, that he finally earned his first NBA championship title.
Throughout his successful NBA career, Howard has also played for the Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards, and Philadelphia 76ers. And while we may never know what the future holds for Howard, one thing is for sure - whoever ends up purchasing his luxurious home will surely be living in style.
