In 2019, James Harden spent $10 million to acquire a magnificent mansion that spans 26,000 square feet and has been given the construction crew’s nick name of Memorial Modern.
The Frankel Building Group was responsible for the design of the home, which was constructed over the course of three years. The land encompasses 3.5 acres and features an exposed glass tower in addition to commercial-grade steel. The neighborhood in Houston’s suburbs known as Rivercrest is known for its luxurious homes, the most of which have a more traditional architectural style. However, the architecture of this particular home is truly one of a kind.
The inside features a modern and streamlined design, and the addition of personalized accents provide a setting that is quite arresting due to the juxtaposition of black and white. The house has a number of different seating areas, including this cozy little corner that is perfect for having a chat because it has its very own fireplace.
The architectural splendour continues in the formal dining room just off the foyer, which features gentle, contemporary lighting and a glass door leading to the wine room of the estate.
The principal living room offers a true combination of indoor and outdoor living thanks to movable glass walls that open up to the terrace. It is difficult to see Harden’s visitors being bored in this area given the bar, marble fireplace, and built-in television that are all included in the space.
Okay, this prep kitchen checks practically every conceivable box! This kitchen, with its wine refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, ample counter space and storage, and enormous waterfall double islands, is a chef’s dream.
Oh, and let’s not forget that the space also provides a cosy dining area for less formal occasions.
This ultra-modern office offers spectacular views of the grounds and access to the backyard from virtually anywhere on the ground floor.
Whether you’re a PC gamer, a work-at-home professional, or both (like me), this office provides the ideal space to do it all in style!
The master suite of this 8-bedroom, 7.5-plus bathroom estate features its own wet bar, wine refrigerator, and a massive textured fireplace that stretches the length of the room’s vaulted ceiling.
This space on the ground floor features a retractable glass wall that opens onto the pool.
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ve probably already seen some fairly impressive ensuite bathrooms of the wealthy and famous, but this one is a bit more luxurious than most people realise.
In addition to its marble floors, glass steam shower, and limitless storage space, this restroom has a million-dollar tub! No, truly – Harden paid $1,100,000 for the pictured rose quartz bathtub! If you’ve ever pondered what it’s like to bathe in a million dollars, this tub provides the full experience.
This opulent mansion also features an expansive fitness centre, a game room, a full-service bar and a movie theatre.
Outside, the enjoyment continues with a massive resort-style swimming pool, multiple covered spaces for outdoor entertainment, an outdoor kitchen, a built-in firepit area, a pool pavilion, and a detached casita.
In the end, it is not difficult to understand why the NBA’s most valuable player chose Houston as his residence!
