Travis Kelce shells out $5.35m on lakefront Ohio home months after Kansas City Chiefs star weds Taylor Swift

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has shelled out $5.35 million for a sprawling lakefront Ohio resident, months after he married pop star Taylor Swift. The news was reported by The Wall Street Journal. The house is close to Cleveland and a private airport.

The property is located in Bratenahl, a village in Ohio, where Kelce grew up alongside his older brother Jason Kelce. Situated along the southern shore of Lake Erie, Bratenahl is known for its modest residences and hosts a mix of multimillion-dollar estates.

The houses in the area range from roughly $250,000 to $2.4 million, based on a data at Realtor.com. The 36-year-old tied the knot with Swift on July 3 at at New York’s Madison Square Garden. According to independent.co.uk, more than 1000 guests attended the wedding.

While many who attended the wedding shared photos on social media, the couple are yet to do so from their big day.

Built in around 1895 originally, the property sits on 3.5-acre of land and 21,000-square-foot. It has eight bedrooms. The WSJ reported that the original ballroom has now been converted into a game room and home theater while the gatehouse is now a two-bedroom guest cottage.
