Inside NBA star's $28-million Shaq-sized Florida mansion
WINDEMERE (FOX 13) - The next owner of this Central Florida home will have some big shoes to fill - and an even bigger closet to keep them in. NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal has put his Windermere mansion on the market, and the 31,000-square-foot waterfront home can be yours for a cool $28 million.
The 12-bedroom home sits on three acres along Lake Butler in the exclusive Isleworth community and features a giant pool, dock, and - of course - an indoor basketball court.
The New York Post reports that Shaq bought the property for $3.95 million in 1993 after joining the Orlando Magic. Details and photos shared by Premier Sotheby's International Realty shows he spent the last 25 years putting his own touches on the property.
For starters, there's the 15-foot round bed in the 900-square-foot master bedroom and a closet that has four rooms itself. There's a giant 3-D mural of Shaq driving a semi-truck, which doubles as a fish tank. And Superman himself is keeping watch out on the superstar's dock.
Outside, a 95-foot pool features a custom rock waterfall and a large hot tub. The cabana and outdoor kitchen completes the area that Shaq reportedly nicknamed "Shaq-apulco."
"This one-of-a-kind estate was designed for one of the most dominant players in the history of the NBA. Every exquisite detail has been curated to deliver the ultimate luxury living experience," the agent, Danial Natoli of Premier Sotheby's International Realty, wrote in the listing. "While it was built for a basketball legend, the world-class amenities and fine finishes will delight any discriminating homebuyer."
