The Celtics have Al Horford signed through next season, but that's not stopping the veteran power forward from putting his family's Boston-area mansion up for sale for an eye-watering $9 million.
Horford and his teammates currently hold a 1-0 series lead on the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, so the sale may not be occupying much of his attention at the moment.
The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home is protected by a wrought iron gate and perimeter fence in Brookline – a ritzy suburb that has been inhabited by everyone from Tom Brady and Robert Kraft to John F. Kennedy.
The 'modern masterpiece' was built in 2021 and sits on a leafy 1-acre lot, according to real estate agent George Sarkis of Douglas Elliman. There's a two-story foyer, grand staircase and glass railings, not to mention soaring ceilings to soak up whatever sunlight eastern Massachusetts can provide.
And what mansion would be complete without a a Sub-Zero refrigerator as well as Miele and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, walk-in pantry and an entire wine room in the chef's kitchen?

Formal living and dining rooms, a junior primary suite, and two half bathrooms can be found on the first floor, while the second level has 'a grand primary suite and four guest bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets,' according to the realtor's description.
Other features include central air conditioning – which can be hard to find in a neighborhood as old as Brookline – as well as a fireplace, patio, hot tub, mable countertops and dual vanities.
As for the exterior, it is, of course, landscaped and boasts a large deck.
The annual $77,000 estimated property tax bill won't help the property move, but it's safe to say that anyone who can afford a $9 million home can manage.

The son of Tito Horford, a 7-foot-1 center who played with the Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Bullets in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Dominican-born Al is in his second stint with the Celtics. He first played for Boston from 2016 through 2019, but after signing in Philadelphia in 2019 and being traded to Oklahoma City, Horford returned to Beantown in 2021 in a separate trade.
'Big Al,' as he's known, is a five-time All-Star and two-time national champion at the University of Florida.
He married 2003 Miss Universe Amelia Vega in Santo Domingo on December 24, 2011 and the couple now has five children: A son, Ean, as well as daughters Alía, Ava, Nova and their youngest, Mila, who was born in December of 2022.
Horford's reason for putting the house on the market is unclear. The 37-year-old is owed $9 million for the 2024-25 season, which would be his 18th since being drafted by the third pick of the 2007 NBA Draft.
The Celtics are back in action on Thursday in Game 2 of the ECF against the visitng Pacers.
