Professional athletes have always found sunny refuge in South Florida, and Dallas Mavericks player Tim Hardaway Jr. once made Miami Beach his home. The previous mansion of the shooting guard is currently for sale.
The custom-built mansion, situated in the guard-gated Normandy Isle community, is listed for an impressive $9.1 million. The South Shore Drive home boasts an amazing 60 feet of lake frontage, five bedrooms, and five and a half bathrooms spread across a massive 5,400 square feet. With a dock and lift right in the backyard, the digs are a boater’s paradise. Also, there is a two-car garage in front for enthusiasts to park their highly valued vehicles.
In October 2021, the NBA player sold the lavish pad. He sold the Mase to its new owners for $6.75 million at the time. Ignacio Villanueva of Compass, who represented the sellers, told Mansion Global, “They wanted something waterfront, but such inventory in Miami Beach is scarce, so we looked at Normandy Isles, an adjacent and well-established area.” “And they adored the house’s contemporary design, which included high ceilings, an abundance of lighting, and a roof deck with stunning views.”
Inside, the boxy sanctuary is furnished with sleek marble floors, tray ceilings, and oak millwork, among other design-forward accents. The atmosphere is ultramodern and elegant, but those vistas are the main attraction. Upstairs, an enormous primary suite has a direct view of the water, while the first floor’s wall of windows faces the pool and patio. In addition, the area features a marble bathroom, a large walk-in closet, an office, and a private balcony. The house also features an open kitchen with elegant Dornbracht fittings and a cinema theater.
Reaching the very top will reward you with a striking roof deck ideal for outdoor gatherings. The eating area, a tiny outdoor kitchen with a grill, and—possibly most importantly—a hot tub are all located here. This seems like the perfect place to watch the sun set.
