Located in Westchester, the interior of the 13,000 square foot home was designed in part by Cassandre Bonhommen, who helped bring Anthony’s vision of his artistic suburban pad to life. Complete with a giant shoe room, bar, four-door garage and more, this massive abode is also home to the basketball star’s impressive art collection, which he says he’s been collecting for over 15 years.
And because a picture is truly worth a thousand words, let’s take a look at some of the highlights of the home — hat tip to Architectural Digest for bringing us the good stuff!
Notable Artwork Collection
Upon walking in, you’re greeted by a handful of amazing artwork from various Black and African designers. A painting of boxing legend Muhammad Ali sits a the top of the stairs, serving as an anchor to the theme throughout the home.
Another Look at the Artwork
“I always looked for up-and-coming artists and I just look for what I like. And I realized I didn’t have to like something because somebody else like it. I like it because it appeals to my mind, it appeals to my spirit. Whether it’s a dollar or $10,” he told Architectural Digest, who brought us the images from his home.

The Music /Green Room
Dubbed the most important room in the house, this front room is what Anthony calls the “music room” — likely due to the baby grand piano and record player that lie within it. But it should be called the overall creative room due to the artwork and inspiring nature of the decor.

Though it’s unclear just how many bedrooms and bathrooms are in Anthony’s home, this one comes with a king-sized bed, fireplace, sitting area and two Nelson Makomo paintings.
Shoe Room
“I collect shoes because I wear shoes, to be honest with you,” Anthony told AD. “I don’t collect them to just let them sit. I collect them to wear them. I’m an active collector. In wine, I collect to drink. In sneakers, I collect to wear, in clothes I collect to wear.”
Special features: first Jordan brand signature athlete shoe, son Kiyan Anthony-designed shoe, countless (and we do mean countless) Jordans
Powder Room
Complete with Muhammad Ali wallpaper, this half bathroom boasts a gold pearl-looking mirror and marble sink with gold hardware.

“I’ve been able to do that [meditate] for awhile so it helps me. I recommend it. And I recommend you to find you a sanctuary like this where you could get away for a couple minutes a day and breath and get your mind right and reset and bounce back,” Anthony said.
Kiyan Anthony’s Room
The sleeping quarters of Anthony’s 17-year-old son Kiyan, this room boasts jerseys of his “uncles: Dywane Wade, Michael Jordan and LeBron James, along with artwork of Trayvon Martin, Malcom X and his own school sports trophies.
