From NBA blocks to breathtaking waterfront views—Hassan Whiteside is making another big move. The retired basketball star is saying goodbye to his jaw-dropping Miami Beach mansion, and fans are understandably stunned by what’s inside. If you thought his on-court presence was impressive, just wait until you see this home.
An Architectural Masterpiece in Lakeview
Located in the exclusive Lakeview neighborhood of Miami Beach, this contemporary tri-level estate is now on the market for $15.8 million. The residence, designed by renowned architect Reinaldo Borges, stands as a testament to bold modern design paired with resort-style amenities. Whiteside’s home isn’t just big—it’s massive. The 9,424-square-foot waterfront wonder sits on a 17,676-square-foot gated lot with an enviable 90 feet of direct frontage on the shimmering Surprise Lake. For the aquatic adventurer, direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway is just a dock away.
Spaces That Dazzle and Details That Impress
Every step inside exudes sophistication. Bold, clean-lined architecture is contrasted by refined interior touches. Imagine marble underfoot, rich hardwood floors, and custom millwork at every turn—plus an aquarium centerpiece sure to spark conversation (and maybe a little envy). The home’s layout champions seamless indoor-outdoor living, with spacious family, dining, and living rooms taking full advantage of the water views.
Your arrival is greeted by a dramatic angled façade, a tranquil waterfall and koi pond, and a grand pivot door that opens up to a 30-foot soaring foyer. It’s not a palace, but it might just make you feel like royalty.
