Former Boston Celtics star Larry Bird is looking to move on from his Indianapolis home…but you’ll have to pass him $2.35 million to take possession of the Tudor-style.
The NBA Hall of Famer and his wife Dinah had the brick-clad residence custom built in 2002. The estate is classically genteel, and features a slate motor court and terraces, and formal grounds.
Spanning 10,000 square feet, the luxurious five-bedroom, 6.5-bath house begins with a grand foyer/gallery with soaring ceilings and a double-height wall of cathedral-style windows. From the central hall, residents can access the formal dining room with a fireplace and the more casual dining room also accented with a fireplace.
The kitchen with its vaulted ceiling is certainly equipped and scaled for catering, and boasts custom cabinetry and a combination island-dining table ideal for grabbing a quick bite. The space flows seamlessly to a more casual living area accented with yet another fireplace and built-ins.
Beyond more traditional living spaces, there’s also a billiard room, a home theater, a wine cellar, and a pub, with abundant wood paneling and period fixtures keeping the emphasis on English gentility. The grounds are spacious, with controlled landscaping, lawns, a tennis court, patios, and a large swimming pool.
Bird and one-time West Coast nemesis Magic Johnson received the NBA Lifetime Achievement Award this month.
