NBA luxury: Jim Pallotta lists $57 million estate with cinema, basketball court and a room full of Santas

Former Boston Celtics co-owner Jim Pallotta has listed his epic Weston, Massachusetts estate for USD $38 million (around AUD $57.4 million), and itโ€™s packed with over-the-top extras. Think private cinema, chefโ€™s kitchen with a pizza oven, wine cellar, basketball court, andโ€”yesโ€”a full room dedicated to antique Santa figurines.

Former Boston Celtics co-owner Jim Pallotta has put his extraordinary Massachusetts estate on the market for USD $38 million (approx. AUD $57.4 million), and itโ€™s every bit as lavish as youโ€™d expect from an NBA executive with a flair for grandeur and a soft spot for Christmas.

Set on nearly 20 manicured acres in the elite suburb of Weston, this 21,000-square-foot mega-home is a rare blend of English countryside charm and modern opulence.

Designed by acclaimed firm Shope Reno Wharton, itโ€™s now on track to become the most expensive home ever sold in Weston – if it fetches the asking price.

Jim, who was part of the Celticsโ€™ ownership from 2002 until 2020, and his wife Kim have owned the estate since 2006.

But with their two sons now out of the house, the couple told said that the property is simply โ€œtoo bigโ€ for two people.

According to Yahoo! they plan to split their time between homes in Nantucket, Miami and Charleston.
