Rumor: LeBron James Makes Offer on $49.5M Gables Estates Home

Rumors swirled earlier this afternoon that LeBron James had made an offer on a $40M waterfront home in Coral Gables.  My sources tell me that the offer was made on a 20,862 square foot mansion located at 11 Casuarina Concourse in the Gables Estates neighborhood of Coral Gables.  The 8 bedroom/11 bath/2 half bath palace sits on a 3.6 acre lot with 880 feet of water frontage and comes with a dock to accommodate a 150-foot yacht.  The Miami luxury home was previously listed for $49.5M before the listing expired on May 31, 2010.  The Gables Estates waterfront home, which was purchased in July 1987 for 2,018,000,  is currently owned by luxury auto dealer Alan Potamkin of Potamkin Auto Gallery.

Homes Fit for a King – Top 5 Coral Gables Homes That LeBron James May Have in Mind

If the rumors are true, and LeBron James did in fact make an offer on a luxury waterfront home in Coral Gables earlier today, then chances are that he made an offer on one of the following luxury homes located in Coral Gables:

620 Arvida Parkway – Asking Price $24.5M.  7 Bedroom/7 Bath/3 Half Bath with 16,435 square feet of interior sitting on a 46,609 square foot lot.  This luxury mansion comes with 2 staff rooms, formal living room, formal dining room, 4-car garage, generator and swimming pool.  While this may be the most expensive home currently available in Coral Gables, it is unlikely that LeBron James would make an offer on it simply because it will not be completed for another year and a half.  That is unless, of course, he doesn’t mind being put up in LeBron’s Future Miami Penthouse across the street from the American Airlines Arena at Marina Blue for the next year and a half.

400 Arvida Parkway – Asking Price $20.5M.  8 Bedroom/9 Bath/4 Half Bath luxury home with 13,469 interior square feet sitting on a 41,382 lot.  This waterfront mansion has 180 feet of water frontage and includes a dining room, wine cellar, media room, library/music room, garden room, 2 staff rooms, gym, Infinity-edge pool and spa and Chihuly chandelier.

181 Leucadendra Drive – Asking Price $17.9M.  7 Bedroom/7 Bath/1 Half Bath with 14,946 interior square feet sitting on a 48,274 square foot lot.  This Mediterranean-style home was completed in 2004 and has 270 feet of water frontage.

5 Tahiti Beach Road – Asking Price $16.9M.  10 Bedroom/9 Bath/0 Half Bath waterfront mansion with 11,533 interior square feet sitting on a 37,374 square foot lot.  This Tahiti Beach luxury home has a private beach overlooking Biscayne Bay.  My vote is that LeBron James decided to go with this home in Coral Gables.  Tahiti Beach is known for having spectacular security. It may not be the most expensive home of the five but security must be at the top of King James’ list when weighing out his options.

200 Edgewater Drive – Asking Price $13.9M.  7 Bedroom/5 Bath/1 Half Bath home with 11,865 interior square feet sitting on a massive 130,680 square foot lot.  This historically designated estate has a tennis court, swimming pool, 4-car garage and staff quarters.  The lot may be huge but the water frontage is very small.

LeBron James Makes Offer on Multi-Million Dollar Waterfront Home in Coral Gables

BleacherReport.com source reveals that LeBron James made an offer today on a multi-million dollar waterfront home in Coral Gables.  If this holds to be true then it only makes sense that King James has plans to join the Miami Heat along with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

He may be in the market for a waterfront home in Miami but we still have LeBron’s penthouse across the street from the American Airlines Arena waiting for him.  It would make for a nice party pad or for nights when he’s too tired to make the drive home.
