Slovenian NBA sharpshooter Goran Dragić has put his South Florida home up for sale this season. The Miami mansion, contains seven bedrooms and seven baths throughout 5,964 sq. ft. and two levels of interiors, is currently priced at $19.9 million.
The property has been titled La Grande Dame, and sets a suitably seductive tone from the front drive, where the warm red of masonry pavers is surrounded by tropical landscaping that’s been allowed to grow just a touch wild. The house, a Florida Mediterranean-style that dates to 1970, is nestled within the greenery like a discovery, giving the home a secluded feel from the approach, and prefacing the living style with a bit of old Floridian romance.
Inside the home, revisions have capitalized on that first exterior impression. Floors have been finished with beautifully contrasted herringbone, and the staircase teases transition with a vanishing act that continues the trend and builds upon it with an all-hardwood tread-and-riser design and a not-overly-ornate wrought iron balustrade. The kitchen also extends the motif; its countertops are butcher block, and seasoned enough to look vintage.
The shared spaces culminate in a combination living and dining room that opens to the pool and recreation area and the bay beyond it through multiple sets of double doors. Other highlights of this very amenable and eligible upper-tier South Florida waterfront residence: a master balcony overlooking Biscayne, and a covered outdoor lounge.
