For that chunk of change you get a whopping 17251 square feet of living space. Yes you read that right seventeen THOUSAND. We are talking six bedrooms nine bathrooms and more amenities than you can shake a stick at.
This place is described as a "privately gated resort-style retreat" and it's easy to see why. It sits on over five acres of land with 200 feet of private shoreline on Mooney Lake. Imagine waking up to those lake views every day! The listing calls it a "lakeside lifestyle unlike any other" and they aren't kidding.
Inside this architectural masterpiece you will find a gym an arcade a wine cellar because NBA players love wine right? There is also a basketball court naturally a movie theater and get this TEN fireplaces. Yes ten! If that is not enough there is also a golf simulator an indoor swimming pool complete with its own basketball hoop and poolside bar and outdoor swimming pool. Seriously this house is insane.
Oh and did I mention the artwork? Apparently there are prominent pieces featuring Bob Marley Jimi Hendrix Biggie Smalls and Snoop Dogg. Talk about setting a vibe.
Fun fact this mansion has some history. It used to belong to Denny Hecker a pretty infamous figure in the Twin Cities auto world. KAT picked it up back in 2018 for $4.52 million. Now it could be yours if you have got a few million to spare.
From Medina to Manhattan (Maybe?): KAT's NYC Move and Possible Kardashian Neighbor Status
So why is KAT selling this dream home? Well he got traded to the New York Knicks remember? Real estate agent BJ LaVelle says there is already "strong interest" in the property. Apparently private lakefront lots like this are hard to find near downtown Wayzata and Lake Minnetonka. No surprise there.
It seems KAT and his girlfriend Jordyn Woods are settling into big city life. TMZ reported they snagged a $14 million mansion in LA last September that is near the Kardashians. Maybe KAT is renting in Manhattan for now? Either way it looks like he is trading in Minnesota lakeside living for the bright lights of a major city.
Courtside in the City: Karl-Anthony Towns Towers Over Celebs at Knicks Game – NYC Welcome is Real!
Speaking of NYC living KAT and Jordyn Woods are already making the rounds in the celebrity scene. They were recently spotted Courtside at a Knicks game hanging out with none other than Ciara and Russell Wilson. Talk about a power couple double date!
Photos from the game are pretty hilarious because KAT who is seven feet tall literally towers over everyone. Even Russell Wilson who is no small dude at 5 foot 11 inches looks tiny next to him. Ciara and Jordyn Woods at 5 foot 7 inches and 5 foot 9 inches respectively are even more dwarfed. You can see KAT having to lean down just to fit in the pictures. It really shows you how massive NBA players are compared to regular folks and even NFL quarterbacks.
Jordyn Woods posted some epic pics of the four of them looking all stylish in black. They are definitely embracing the NYC vibe. Woods was even rocking a Yankees cap showing she is repping her new city. Looks like KAT and Jordyn are getting the full NYC welcome.
Knicks on Fire? Karl-Anthony Towns Shines as New York Sweeps Season Series Against Bucks
And how is KAT doing on the court in NYC? Pretty darn good! He is having a "spectacular season for the Knicks" according to one report. The Knicks are doing well too with a solid 45-26 record at the time of one article. His old team the Timberwolves are playoff bound as well which is probably bittersweet for KAT.
In a recent game against the Milwaukee Bucks the Knicks totally "decimated" them winning 140-106. KAT had a double-double in that game with 30 points and 18 rebounds. He is definitely making his presence felt in New York.
In another game recap the Knicks beat the Bucks again 116-107 even though they were short-handed with injuries. It seems like the Knicks have the Bucks number this season and KAT is a big part of that. One preview even predicted the Knicks would "sweep" the season series against Milwaukee and they did!
Despite some bench depth challenges the Knicks are looking strong and KAT is fitting in perfectly. New York fans must be loving having a superstar like him on the team.
