Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping


One of the pitfalls of being a sports star is having to sell your old real estate once you get traded. It's not always easy, we've seen Shaquille O'Neal struggle to unload his Miami home for years, Dwayne Wade has had his on the market for a while and the list goes on to include today's estate the home of Boston Celtics player Ray Allen. Allen used to play on the Seattle SuperSonics and owns this Craftsman-style estate in Carnation, Washington. The five-bedroom home is on nearly 4.5 acres. It's a rather nice home with vaulted entryways, box beam celings and a casual style. It is a former Street of Dreams Award winning home and includes a master suite with a custom spa, a gourmet kitchen, home theater, office and exercise room. The home has a lot of exterior features too such as a putting green, pool, exterior cabana and a sports court connected with well-landscaped pathways. Allen first listed the home about six months ago at $6 million and recently sliced the price down to $5.2 million.
