With his move to the West Coast sealed by a lucrative contract, NBA player Kevin Durant has sold his converted twin-townhouse residence in Oklahoma City at a considerable loss. The small forward, who spent nine seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder, sold the residence for $1.1 million, far under his 2013 purchase price for the property of $1.77 million. And the purchase price does not include the cost of the sweeping renovation, which reportedly totaled in the neighborhood of $3 million.
The three story residence measures about 7,000 square feet of living space, all told, and contains six bedrooms and eight baths. The residence is now laid out in a divided concept, with living and entertaining areas connected, but disparate.
The renovation is intended to impress. There are grand statements going on, especially in the series of chandeliers—one a hand-blown art-glass concept piece—which are sprinkled throughout. An open staircase adds a formidable sense of scale to the high ceilings and open-concept living spaces.
Tones throughout the home are pretty dramatic, and a lot of greys, blues and high-gloss accents are employed. Nicely figured wood brings even more textured surface into the spaces. The vision is shimmering contemporary, sometimes metallic, and very busy in execution.
Kevin Durant may have taken a loss on the property, but the small forward may not be terribly downhearted. In July he signed a two-year, $54 million contract with the Golden State Warriors.
