NBA Star Miles Plumlee Buys Stylish Mansion in Milwaukee

Snapping up a gorgeous mansion just north of downtown Milwaukee, Milwaukee Bucks center Miles Plumlee—who spent much of his life in North Carolina—is settling in to the Upper Midwest in style.

The five-bedroom, 4.5-bath home built in 2008 is stunning, offering a fitness center (with a sauna), media room, and chef’s kitchen. Located in the affluent Ozaukee County suburb of Mequon, the home went on the market for $1,875,000 in February and sold for $1.65 million in October.

Plumlee was traded to the Bucks in February 2015 and signed a four-year, $52 million deal to stay with the team in August 2016.

“It’s really one of the most beautiful homes that have sold in the Milwaukee metro area in the past year,” says listing agent Paul Handle of Mahler Real Estate Group. “It was a custom build and very stylish. I’m sure it appealed to him because it has high ceilings and door frames, which he needs.” (Plumlee is 6-foot-11.)

The home’s many perks include a huge 3.5-car garage. It’s “all ready for the kind of cars those guys (pro athletes) drive,” he says. For an in-depth tour of the home, complete with twangy guitar chords, check out this YouTube video.

Another plus for Plumlee is the home’s privacy. It’s just a 15-minute drive from downtown Milwaukee, but the property is on a private drive, which is just what a pro basketball player needs to unwind after a game or practice.
