The Atlanta home of NBA star and longtime Hawks team member Dikembe Mutombo is for sale this spring. The Greek Revival-inspired property features eleven bedrooms and twelve baths across 13,290 sq. ft. of interior living area, as well as decorative flourishes that include a porte-cochere and a soaring neoclassical roof portico supported by a quartet of Ionic columns.
The mansion’s living spaces are preceded by a no-holds-barred foyer, where twin floating staircases, columns, and stone tile converge in a dazzling display. The sense of expanse represented by the foyer is continued in a wide-open dining and living area; dramatic dome ceilings with chandeliers and a barrel ceiling finished with Venetian plaster, stone tile and hardwood floors, towering banks of glass, balcony overlooks, and a carved fireplace or several also distinguish the shared spaces.
Among the amenities in this home is a large kitchen with a proportionate center island and a breakfast bar; a rotunda breakfast room is positioned just beyond. The bedroom suites are designed as a series, with each receiving a particular pastel shade as a dominant theme; the master bedroom features a fireplace sitting area.
Specialty spaces include a double-height library, a salon, a fitness room with a sauna, and a game room with a full-sized bar and a fireplace. Filling out the 2.37 acres of grounds are a pool, guest house and game court; a dense border of mature trees provides the privacy demarcation.
