The Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is next in line to adorn his with the crown. The reigning championship had a double treat after lifting the much cherished Larry O’Brien trophy, he went on to sign a whopping $315 million deal. This back-to-back success not only filled his pocket but also put him on track to become the next face of the league. While we usually see superstar players of this caliber bask in wealth and enjoy their bounty, well, JT is something different.
Even though a $4 million mansion is a luxury in the eyes of a common man, it definitely isn’t in the eyes of an NBA superstar. With a projected total career earnings of $469 million which could further grow after extension, Tatum still lives in a humble four-million dollar abode in Newton, Massachusetts. Notably, LeBron James is the only player to have a career earning above $400 million in the history of the league. This has undeniably moved him up the ladder.
One may wonder the reason behind Jayson Tatum‘s decision to restrict himself to a wallet-friendly place (of course, to his standards). Well, it stemmed from a promise that he made to his mother, Brandy Cole. Growing up as a child of a single parent, the Celts faced poverty on many levels. Speaking to Graham Bensinger in 2022, JT said he and his mother had to deal with, “the water being cut off, the lights being cut off, almost being evicted” almost on a regular basis.
And, as Big Deuce grew up into an NBA player, he made a promise to his mother that he would only live off his endorsement and with his Celtics money. So up until 2019 that is after his sophomore year in the league, JT hadn’t bought a place. It was the $4 million mansion for which the star went all the way out.
Jayson Tatum’s $4 million Gothic Revival home
Unlike the modern flashy mansions constructed across the country, JT’s mansion roots back to the 17th century. Constructed in 1848, the star had acquired the mansion following the renovations. Sitting on a half acre of land, this white facade has two Gothic gables at the front, decorated with French windows at the opening. Moreover, the house has four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a lot of windows, and a tall ceiling, as per the images on the listing.
Something that the mansion clearly missed was a basketball court. Despite being an NBA superstar, Jayson Tatum forgot to take that into his account. However, the Celtics star was quick to fix it after learning it the hard way. During the pandemic when everyone stayed indoors, Tatum found it difficult to stay away from the hoop. The star took the help of Celtics governor Wyc Grousbeck and had a court installed in his backyard.
Despite all the other features, there is something special about the mansion’s modern kitchen, a master bedroom with a fireplace, and a spacious foyer. Let’s take a closer look at them.
The Grand Foyer
The two-story building gives a grand welcome to whoever steps in. The huge marble-floored empty space with a mahogany staircase at the center gives it a modern look and still retains the Gothic layer of the house. Moreover, the room is packed with windows illuminating natural light from all directions, giving it a pleasant inviting glow. Following the entrance, the main living room comes with plenty of seating facilities and wooden coffee tables to match the seating’s color and texture.
Cutting-edge modern kitchen
This is one of the sort-after spaces in the entire mansion. While the high-rise ceiling has covered the entire place, it gives a special touch to the heart of the mansion, the kitchen. Again, the space is also filled with windows on all sides, making it a brightly lit kitchen, along with a fire space to beat the heat. Truly a chef’s dream. Moreover, one of the important aspects of the kitchen is the Granite Waterfall Island in the middle to prepare the meal. Apart from that, the space also carries all the state-of-the-art modern kitchen appliances to help the chef.
Jayson Tatum’s master bedroom
This master bedroom is nothing but a cozy retreat. As mentioned above, the rising ceiling and multiple windows make the room bright and lively. In addition, the huge fireplace makes the room more pleasant. Moreover, the cushiony bedding and the luxurious furniture elevate the room into the best bedroom one could ask for. This is something that Jayson Tatum can’t resist after a relishing day on the court.
Apart from these three important aspects of the mansion, the two-storeyed building still has more exciting features, catering to the Celtics superstar. As of yet, this is the only space that JT owns in his 7-season-long NBA career. Considering the promise that he made to his mom, will he buy more mansions in the future?
