Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry Buys $3.2M California Home
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry buys a chic home in California.
Curry, the 27-year old NBA All-Star, dropped $3.2 million for a Walnut Creek home, Los Angeles Times reported. He was able to save much by buying it at the right time. In April, The Los Angeles Times noted that its asking price was set at almost $4 million, letting him save about $800,000 by just purchasing it recently.
Curry commissioned Andy Read of Caldecott Properties to represent him in the real estate transaction while Vikki Bearman of Empire Realty Associates served as the seller's listing agent.
Curry's new home has a Mediterranean-inspired vibe. The almost 8,000-square-foot abode, resting on nearly an acre of California land, displays five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The house, built three years ago, also includes a double-height foyer, a sunken living room, a family room near the entrance, a dining room and a modern kitchen with a center island.
The 2014-2015 NBA Season Most Valuable Player will also have fun times with amenities like a full bar, a 2,300-bottle wine cellar, a media room and a game room with billiards. All these luxury features are located in the lower-level of the two-storey estate.
Staying in his own master bedroom will be truly relaxing as it is equipped with a fireplace, a lavish bathroom and a private balcony that provides views of the surrounding. The suite also has its own office if he feels the need to do some reading or writing.
Interior details include French doors, four fireplaces, airy ambiance and elegant finishing. Outside, the property boasts a gated motor court, a kitchen, a casita and beautiful gardens.
Why do fans like him?
The Akron, Ohio native led the team to score its first NBA championship in four decades, making his fanbase grow larger because of what he accomplished. In a GQ interview, Curry shared his opinion why his fans love him.
"I'm them.I can't jump the highest. I'm obviously not the biggest, not the strongest. And so they see me out there and I look like a normal person. Look at those guys over there, man, (pointing to two muscular males trying to shoot three-pointers at the other side of the court). Those guys, have probably taken a hundred shots. They can sit out there all day shooting. You can't teach them how to tomahawk dunk, but you could probably teach them how to shoot. And for fans, there'll just always be a personal attachment to the shooting part of the game," Curry said.
