Ray Allen Re-Lists His Washington Home

Our friends at Curbed alerted us to a change in the slow seller files. Boston Celtics player Ray Allen is trying once again to unload his five-bedroom estate in Carnation, Washington. When he played for the Seattle Super Sonics he lived in the home but he was traded to the Celtics in 2007. We covered the home in 2008 when it was first listed at $6 million and then reduced to $5.2 million. Like many sports stars after a relocation, Allen was unable to sell and pulled the home from the market. Now it's back with a new low price tag. It is listed with Matrix Real Estate for $3.7 million.

Allen's Craftsman-style estate is on nearly 4.5 acres. It's a rather nice home with vaulted entryways, box beam ceilings and a casual style. It is a former Street of Dreams Award winning home and includes 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. The press release from Matrix real estate says that Allen made several customizations including the addition of an elaborate master suite with a double-sided fireplace, attached office/nursery, two room-sized walk-in closets and a travertine-tiled spa bathroom.

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.
