To some, Miami heat is just a weather term. But, for anyone plugged into the world of sports, they know it is one of the most well-known franchises in the NBA. It has been home to extremely legendary players over the years, including Shaquille O’Neal, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Alonzo Mourning. Hassan Whiteside was another big star on the team, playing center there from 2014 to 2019, but retired from the NBA just last year after finishing the 2023 season. Now, he is finally looking to sell his sleek Miami Beach mansion and has priced it at $19.5 million.
Besides being part of a world-famous team, joining the Miami Heat puts you in one of the most vibrant cities in the country. Beautiful weather and beaches, a lively nightlife, and some of the most fabulous restaurants and hotels in the world, what’s not to like about being brought to Miami for work? Perhaps that’s why Whiteside was in no rush to part with this modern retreat right on the water, which public records show he picked up for $7.3 million in 2016.
Now that he is selling, buyers can imagine themselves in the glassy home brimming with five-star amenities. Not only does it have a dock for boat days, but it also boasts a pool and spa, home cinema, and rooftop deck perfect for ritzy parties. The large residence also has five bedrooms, a clean-lined chef’s kitchen, and a plethora of luxe design elements. If the second-floor, terrace soaking tub overlooking the water doesn’t scream Miami pizzazz, what else does?
Located in Miami’s exclusive Lakeview neighborhood, the listing also promises great privacy right near some of the city’s most iconic spots. The Fontainebleau and Soho Beach House are just minutes away by car. Interested? For those who can afford it, Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman holds the listing.
