NBA player Kevin Durant’s old townhouse in Oklahoma City is for sale with an asking price of $35. Not $35 million. Not even $350,000.
But no, you can’t actually buy it for that.
“I do have offers. I have a lot of offers,” said broker Ieasha Larkpor of Thunder Team Realty. The highest offer so far has been $780,000, she said.
“The owner doesn’t want that one either," Larkpor told Homes.com. We’re going to keep chugging along until we get the right one.”
Larkpor said the offers started pouring in when she put it on the market in May. While the pricing gimmick may have drawn attention to the listing, Larkpor said it is the quality of the home that has buyers interested.
NBA legend Durant bought the property in 2013 for $1.77 million, according to county property appraiser records. He purchased two townhouses and remodeled them into a single estate, though Larkpor said they have since been turned back into separate units.
Durant took a hit when he sold it in 2017 for $1.1 million, according to county records, and reports say that’s after it spent months on the market with an asking price of $1.5 million.
Still, the 3,626-square-foot townhouse is bound to be worth more than $35.
The three-story, four-bed, 3.5-bath home contains two kitchens, a game room, a private elevator and a two-car garage. The house features hardwood floors, multiple designer chandeliers and a whirlpool bathtub.
But the house’s greatest feature might be its location in Oklahoma City’s Deep Deuce district. Not only is it walking distance from downtown amenities — including being less than a mile from the Paycom Center, where the Thunder play—but Deep Deuce is a historic neighborhood that emerged as a center of Black culture in the city.
“Originally a housing district for people working in warehouses in OKC’s nearby Bricktown area, Deep Deuce quickly became a thriving center of business and culture for African Americans in the early 20th century,” reads a description of the neighborhood on Homes.com. “Deep Deuce became renowned as a hub for local jazz and blues musicians throughout the early decades of the 20th century. Electric guitarist Charlie Christian and singer Jimmy Rushing, both key figures in American music history, called the neighborhood home.”
The average home value in the neighborhood is $567,850, according to Homes.com research.
