Bienvenido a Miami!

Looking for a pad fit for royalty? If you want to live down in sultry Miami and, you know, have $17 mil to blow, you can reign like an NBA superstar in LeBron James’ former home.

Bienvenido a Miami!

James just listed his over-the-top gorgeous South Florida nest. That’s not really surprising, given his recent transition from the Heat over to the Cleveland Cavs – it’s not like he’s going to have heaps of time to be hitting the beach, right? – but the listing rocked the national real estate newsline with its hefty price tag.

Casa James is located at 3590 Crystal View Court, and sports six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It’s got over 12,000 square feet of living space – that’s like 24 itty-bitty Center City studios – including a detached guest house.

Did you just hear that thud? That was the sound of me swooning over this kitchen. OMG.

It boasts a wine cellar, a custom home theater room, and more oceanfront terraces than you could shake a stick at, if you were into stick-shaking. And that’s just the extraordinary features… you ought to see the kitchen in this place. There’s an infinity pool with custom lighting, a boat dock long and deep enough for two yachts of 60+ feet apiece, security quarters and a state-of-the-art security system (naturally), and a three-car garage. The home is just room after room of open-concept, airy, light-soaked, waterfront-view glorious, and its future owner will be a lucky kajillionaire indeed.

This is just one of the home’s many oceanview terraces.

If you need some perspective on just how much money a $17 million house is worth: the annual taxes alone are $186,000+, or enough to buy you a decent single-family home in a lot of places. Yowza.

Here’s to King James and the next owner of this mindblowing home!
