Former residence of NBA legend Kevin Durant in Oakland, California, has been listed for $5.99 million.
In 2017 and 2018, when he helped the Golden State Warriors win back-to-back championships, the Most Valuable Player resided in a massive contemporary mansion. After the 2019 season, Durant signed with the Brooklyn Nets and vacated this rental property in the Oakland Hills.
In addition to providing a roomy and airy residence for the 6-foot-10-inch celebrity, the residence has hosted corporate events for Google, Facebook, Mercedes-Benz, and Lexus.
The mansion in the highlands at the end of a cul-de-sac offers unobstructed views of the Bay Area below.
The listing agent for the property, Compass’s Andrea Gordon, describes the view as “absolutely magnificent.” “It is absurdly wonderful. It is a view of five bridges. This location is truly amazing. It requires the proper kind of person who can recognise its value.”
The 2005 custom-built residence on just under an acre was designed by architect Mike Burgess for the proprietors, who have decided to downsize. Guests enter the home from the circular driveway through double glass doors into a dramatic space with views directly through to the back of the residence.
The 908-square-foot residence features an atrium-style great room with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows designed to highlight the breathtaking Bay vistas. The entertaining space opens onto a patio that encompasses the home’s backyard.
The expansive living and dining area is adjacent to a family room and an open kitchen with glossy red cabinetry.
