Key Points:
- Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce purchased a $5.35 million lakefront estate on Lake Erie in Bratenahl, Ohio, a historic 3.5-acre property with an eight-bedroom, 21,140-square-foot Elizabethan Tudor mansion dating back to 1895.
- The estate, known as "Moyenage," features original architectural details such as carved walnut walls and a grand staircase with carved lions, and includes modern amenities added during a yearlong restoration prior to the sale.
- The property has a rich history, including a third-floor ballroom that served as a Prohibition-era speakeasy and was featured in a 1962 episode of the CBS series "Route 66."
- The home was acquired through an Ohio LLC linked to Kelce’s business manager, André Eanes, and the sale set a new record for the Bratenahl shoreline, with multiple offers reportedly received before the final transaction.
- Renovations converted the former ballroom into a game room and home theater, and a gatehouse was transformed into a two-bedroom guest cottage, enhancing the estate’s luxury appeal.
