In the land of celebrity real estate, Robert Griffin III just dropped $2.5M on a pad in Northern Virginia while Kanye West is trying to unload his apartment in New York. Get the deets and the pics inside...
Washington Redskins Quarterback Robert Griffin III just dropped $2.5 million on a McMansion in Northern Virginia.
Sitting on over three acres, the 9,000 square foot home is located in a luxurious golf course community and boasts five bedrooms, six baths and a wine cellar.
Though RGIII signed on with the Redskins in 2012 for a reported $21.1 Million, he and fiancee Rebecca Liddicoat still want some free gifts. The twosome is registered at Bed, Bath & Beyond, and he thanked fans via WhoSay for sending gifts (pictured at the top) from the registry.
Congrats on the new digs!
In other real estate news.....
Kanye West's famed SOHO apartment is now on the market for $4.5 million. The fourth-floor unit, located at 25 West Houston St, which has seen the likes of Amber Rose AND Kim Kardashian (all in the same year), is said to feature a few unique "installations". Aside from the very minimalist nature of the decor, 'Ye's got some very interesting details around the pad.
According to the NY Post, a broker explained that there is a long slender basin located five feet away from Kanye's bed in the master bedroom.
“It’s the height of a normal sink, but it’s a huge, long, granite object, probably about 9 feet long but only a couple of feet wide. At the front is a sink. It was long and extremely narrow and very artsy-looking." The broker continued, “The apartment is amazing. If you like modern and sleek spaces, this is it.”
Also, after vistors enter the apartment and walk down a narrow hallway, they are greated by a statue. “It looks like an angel, or a little boy Cupid, and it’s on a raised platform”
We're sure most of Kanye's prized possession are now in Paris (it seems that's where he wants his next home to be in addition to the one he's looking for with Kim in L.A.), but folks who actually saw the interior noted that the master suite’s walk-in closet had a dozen pair of expensive sneakers (mostly all Jordans) and there was an angel statue in the living room.
