Even though the deal was actually signed last autumn, it has only recently come to light that NBA star Stephen “Steph” Curry secretly sold off his California “dream home,” a luxurious residence in the affluent Silicon Valley neighborhood of Atherton. Records show that the home sold for $31.2 million, which is only around $150,000 more than what the Golden State Warriors’ point guard paid for it in June 2019—just over three years ago.
When the Golden State Warriors moved from Oakland to San Francisco in 2019, the point guard Stephen Curry was forced to leave his East Bay home due to the move. The magnificent home that the NBA player and his wife Ayesha custom-built is once again available for sale.
The contemporary stucco and glass structure sits on a flat, uneven lot measuring over an acre and is hidden behind gates at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac. The multi-winged house, which was designed by Ken Linsteadt Architects and has four bedrooms and six bathrooms distributed over more than 7,500 square feet of open-concept living space, was constructed in 2019 on demand by local developer Joe Comartin of Woodlane Properties.
Stephen Kubitschek, a contractor of the couple’s choosing, was in charge of supervising the building of the house. The 8,163 square foot interior feels very modern because of the 30-foot ceilings, lots of glass, heated Italian oak floors, and double-sided stoves. Like many contemporary homes, this one focuses on indoor-outdoor living. Custom Fleetwood folding doors lead to the courtyard, which has a seawater infinity pool, a cabana, a pizza oven, a smoker, and a grill.
A significant number of lavish elements appropriate for basketball aristocracy are also to be expected. Hirbod asserts that Steph spent $500,000 on the media room, which has a fantastic music and projection system. Ayesha’s love of gourmet food has led to the kitchen’s inclusion of two islands, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, and contemporary European-style cabinetry. Of course, you can store your collection of seven cars as well.
The main suite feels more private because of the separate guest and children’s wings upstairs. The Curry’s previous apartment is as lavish as you might expect, with a 1,160 square foot balcony and not one, but three walk-in closets. If you ever wanted to, you have the chance to live like a top athlete.
Despite the absence of interior pictures, the Curry house probably bears a striking resemblance to this Atherton megamansion, which is just a few blocks away. In one of Atherton’s largest-ever transactions, that home, which was also constructed on speculation by Comartin in partnership with Arcanum and Studio Green, sold in 2015 for $35.3 million in cash to a woman by the name of Yasmin Lukatz after spending just three weeks on the market. (Lukatz is the stepdaughter of multibillionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. She has an MBA from Stanford and heads a non-profit in Silicon Valley that supports Israeli companies.)
Despite the lack of interior images, it’s easy to conclude that the Curry home and this neighboring Atherton megamansion are more than simply superficially identical. That home, which was also built on conjecture by Comartin in collaboration with Arcanum and Studio Green, sold in 2015 for $35.3 million in cash to a woman by the name of Yasmin Lukatz after spending just three weeks on the market, making it one of Atherton’s largest-ever transactions. Sheldon Adelson, a multibillionaire gambling mogul, has a granddaughter named Lukatz. She is the executive director of a Silicon Valley non-profit that assists Israeli companies and has an MBA from Stanford.
The “Jeff Bezos of China,” billionaire Liu Qiangdong, paid $33.5 million buying a larger property just behind the Curry home in 2017. Chinese real estate mogul Liu Zhiqiang resides next door in a $25 million house. George Roberts, the multibillionaire owner of KKR, also has an even larger mansion just next to it. The list of multibillionaire software entrepreneurs and global business titans who call Atherton home seemed to never stop.
