If you’re looking for a luxury home with a distinguished history, a lush natural setting, and seven-foot towel racks, you’re in luck.
The former Concord home of Celtics legend Kevin Garnett is now on the market for a tidy $5.98 million. The listing describes the property as a “contemporary waterfront oasis” that “blends cutting-edge design with natural tranquility.”
The property sits on 12.7 acres near the Concord River. It also abuts approximately 35 acres of conservation land, making it a “super private” location, according to listing agent Michael Carucci.
The property was first listed two weeks ago, Carucci said Tuesday. Built in 1992, it includes five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, a basement media room, a wine cellar, a personal gym and sauna, and an outdoor plunge pool.
Garnett bought the home in 2007, around the time he was traded to the Celtics from the Minnesota Timberwolves, Carucci said. He owned the property until 2014, shortly after being traded to the Brooklyn Nets in a blockbuster deal that included Paul Pierce and Jason Terry.

The house has seen renovations since the Garnetts lived there, Carucci said, but there are still some reminders of the Basketball Hall of Famer that went to five All-Star games as a Celtic.
“If you go into the primary bathroom, you’ll see a shower hook for bathrooms and towels and whatnot that they never took off the wall,” he said. “And I mean, I couldn’t reach it.”
The expansive windows and vaulted ceilings allow for abundant natural light — but Carucci said he still found it hard to picture Garnett living there.
“There’s a gym downstairs, and it was like, ‘How the hell did he fit down here?’” Carucci said. “I mean, it’s nine-foot ceilings, but he’s six-foot-11.”
Garnett, for his part, said he had fond memories of the home when he put it up for sale in October 2013. He noted at the time that his family had “dedicated a lot of time and effort to incorporate our own personal touches.”
He ultimately sold the home for $3.635 million, according to the Los Angeles Times.
