Jim Pallotta, former Celtics co-owner and Raptor Group founder, has put his Weston home on the market for a cool $38 million. The sprawling estate at 180 Ash Street covers 19 acres of land, featuring a six-bed, 12-bath setup spread across a comfortable 21,000 square feet. Despite the size, the English Country-style home has a unique charm, including a room entirely dedicated to Santa figurines and a Michael Jordan jersey casually decorating the bathroom, as reported by Boston.com.
Built in 2006, this rare piece of real estate stands out not only for its acreage but for the posh amenities that come with it, such as two islands in the kitchen, a pizza oven, and a dedicated music room acclaimed for its acoustics. The home was indeed crafted by Brian Vona of KVC Builders, the estate stands out owing to its luxurious add-ons, which were detailed by the MGS Group Real Estate listing.
In addition to the home’s interiors, which include a chef's kitchen, family room, and two offices, there's a draw for outdoor enthusiasts. An outdoor terrace, complete with a grill and fireplace, presents a versatile indoor/outdoor living space. An added bonus is the basketball court, reflecting Pallotta's NBA ties, and a swimming pool with its own house. For those looking to expand, an additional 10 acres of land comprising four buildable lots are available for purchase, according to Boston.com.
Maggie Gold Seelig of the MGS Group described the home as a "giant hug," confirming the atmosphere of warmth despite its grandeur. "It will be a notable sale," she predicted, emphasizing the estate's unique features, including the antique Santa Clauses collection belonging to Kim Pallotta. She recently opened up about the collection to The Wall Street Journal, revealing a touch of personal passion behind the sophisticated walls. "It's probably one of the most magical rooms in terms of just being transported instantly into the joy of what makes the holidays the holidays," Seelig shared with the Boston.com interview.
This luxury listing is about more than just prime real estate and grandeur; it's a testament to the Pallottas' lifestyle and interests. Whether for the avid music collector or the sports enthusiast who still enjoys shooting hoops as Kim told the WSJ, this home offers an embrace of recreational extravagance. With the market's eyes set on how this sale unfolds, 180 Ash Street represents a slice of high-end living that's rarely up for grabs.
