The massive 21,000-square-foot mansion sits along Lake Erie and includes eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a game room and a private theatre. The property was purchased in March for $5.35 million, before Kelce’s July wedding.
Bratenahl already has security measures in place, according to local realtor Patricia Knight Gary of Howard Hanna Realty. Kelce’s new home is far removed from the typical NFL property. Its location in Bratenahl also puts the NFL star close to the Cleveland area, where he grew up. She explained that the village has its own police presence and that nearby condominium properties also have round-the-clock security.
The Ohio property could therefore serve as another private retreat rather than a permanent move.
Something may have been set up at that particular home which is their private estate, but in terms of any additional fencing for the village, I’m not aware of that,” veteran realtor in the area, Patricia Knight Gary of Howard Hanna Realty, exclusively told Page Six. “Right now, Travis’ Leawood [Kansas] home is his and Taylor’s primary residence and a big home base for them especially while he’s still playing for the Chiefs,” a source exclusively told Page Six earlier this month. Knight Gary said residents only learned about the move publicly and are waiting to see whether the arrival of the high-profile couple affects the neighbourhood.
“The village is a relatively secluded lakefront property. For Kelce, however, the Ohio mansion is unlikely to replace his Kansas home as his main base during the NFL season. His Leawood residence remains particularly important while he continues his career with the Chiefs. With Kelce balancing his NFL career, public appearances and life away from football, the new security system provides an added layer of privacy at a home that has already attracted plenty of attention. Local interest is also growing.
