Ray Allen Selling His $3.7M Estate in Carnation, WA

Former Seattle SuperSonic Ray Allen, now with the Boston Celtics, is attempting to sell his Craftsman-Style home for the 3rd time. The 10,630 sq-ft mansion is just outside Seattle and sits on nearly 4.5 acres. It wasoriginally on the market in August of 2008 for $6M and again in November ’08 for $5.2M. Now Allen is trying to sell it again for a 3rd time and has put his former abode back on the market for $3.7M.

The custom estate has 5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 6 fireplaces, a formal living & dining room, 3 family rooms, mud room, 2 laundry rooms, and a generator to keep the power on in stormy weather. Custom touches include the very elegant wood-paneled office with built-in desk and shelving, a yoga/pilates room with rubber-mat flooring and a full-height mirror, and an eight-seat theater room with surround sound and wet bar. The kitchen has an attached great room with a floor-to-ceiling cobblestone fireplace. Off that, there’s a wrap-around deck offering a private covered outdoor sitting area with custom draperies.

Allen lived here with his wife and 3 children during his 4 year contract with Seattle (2003-2007), and there is just as much fun to be had for any family outside as there is inside too. The property comes complete with a full-size basketball court, tennis court & putting green, a play house for the kids, hot tub, swimming pool, circular drive, 6 car garage, and a private gated entry.

When Allen originally purchased the estate for $2.3M back in 2003 he had made several customizations, including an extravagant addition to the master suite. The master suite now has a double-sided fireplace, attached office & nursery, 2 room-size walk-in closets fully equipped with built-in closet systems, a spa-like bathroom with travertine-tile & a free-standing jetted soaking tub, walk-through double-headed shower, separate water closet and two complete vanities.

Since moving from Seattle Ray Allen has been in Boston with the Celtics since the 2007-2008 season. Earlier this year, he signed a $20M dollar, two-year contract extension, which will allow him to keep playing for the Celtics through the end of the 2011-2012 season.

No one wants to buy Ray Allen's house

Ray has been trying to sell his house in Seattle for a while now. Makes sense, since he hasn't exactly lived in Seattle for a while and we know he's not going back there in a trade or anything (sorry Sonics fans... low blow).
