Being an NBA superstar at the top of their game comes with its own set of perks. Apart from gaining a lot of fame around the globe, players also earn a lot of money. Each NBA star might use that money in a different way.
Some might purchase fancy clothes, while others might purchase supercars or other material items. But one thing that is common among all the NBA stars is purchasing a beautiful mansion.
Similar was the case with the late NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain. Although Wilt passed away back in 1999, his house was sold for $6.5 million in 2008. Since then, the current owner of the home has spent a lot of money on renovating it and making it suitable for becoming an epic bachelor pad.
The 9,300-plus-square-foot house was originally built in 1971. Here are other details about the property, thanks to a report by Hannah Frishberg of the New York Post.
Via New York Post:
“The Antelo Place address boasts a five-story living room with cathedral ceilings — and sweeping ocean, city and valley views.”
“An immense swimming pool wraps around the home and gives the ‘impression that it is floating in a lake’. Modern touches from the renovation include the addition of a billiards room, a gym, a redwood sauna and an outdoor kitchen.”
“There is also a home theater, a cabana, two fireplaces and seven parking spots. The design throughout the house represents so many aspects of Wilt’s life. The eagle sculpture attached to his fireplace in the living area was made from an old car and represents freedom.”
“A portion of the roof slides back and you’re able to see some fresh air which seems like a gas and it really is. You know, it seems like the things that are really free are the ones that you really appreciate the most.”
All the details about the house are pretty amazing and whoever purchases it will certainly enjoy it to the fullest.
As the article by the NY Post suggested, the house’s description suits perfectly to that of how Wilt spent his life.
