Travis Kelce's Kansas City Residence: A Throwback Time Capsule
Nov 14, 2023Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs' standout player...
and lately rumored to be involved with Taylor Swift, has a life that extends far beyond the football field.
When he's not reserving entire restaurants for post-game celebrations, he retreats to his Missouri residence, a captivating fusion of Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House from Barbie and a nostalgic '90s vibe. One can't help but wonder what Taylor Swift thinks of the retro kitchen countertops!
In 2019, Kelce acquired his Kansas City, Missouri home for $995,000.
Nestled in the charming Briarcliff West neighborhood, this expansive 10,000-square-foot abode, originally constructed in 1994 and later renovated in 2007, boasts a solid structural foundation. However, its interiors transport you back to the '90s. Granite countertops, warm wooden cabinets, and mosaic tile accents grace the open-concept kitchen. The home's eccentric personality shines through with features like a horse head statue, plush leather seating, a game room complete with a pool table, and even a well-equipped home gym. It seems the only thing missing is an array of 22 TVs!
Apart from its size....
the residence offers a range of enviable amenities, including an inviting outdoor pool, a spacious deck for relaxation, and a picturesque gazebo. There's also a wine cellar adorned with murals depicting an Italian coastline and the sky—a room that might benefit from a modern makeover but remains perfect for those moments when, in Taylor Swift's words, "you weren't thinking, and I was just drinking."
Kelce's Missouri Man Cave isn't his sole property.
According to reports from the New York Post, the football player also owns a condo in Orlando, a purchase made in 2019 for $355,000, which he shares with his parents and brother, Jason Kelce. While Kelce's real estate portfolio is strong, it still pales in comparison to Taylor Swift's extensive collection of homes, estimated at an astonishing $150 million by The Wall Street Journal. Should their rumored romance take a more serious turn, perhaps Swift can lend her discerning design sensibilities to help Kelce infuse his home with a fresh and contemporary aesthetic, while preserving its unique and timeless charm.
