The primary suite has been designed as a private retreat, complete with a massive custom dressing room and an opulent walk-in shoe closet.
With interiors designed by famed interior designers Widell & Boschetti, the residence offers the ultimate in modern convenience, including heated floors, custom lighting, power shades and curtains, and an oversized laundry room – all controlled by a Savant home automation system.
The Olympia Dumbo building offers a coveted address and fantastic amenities, including two pools, a private tennis court, a game lounge with two-lane bowling, a state-of-the-art fitness centre with spin studio, boxing gym, steam and sauna.
There is also an exclusive club lounge for entertaining, an outdoor kitchen with cabanas, a juice bar, a pet spa, a lobby lounge, and on-site parking.
Suffice to say, the pad is fit for a star like Simmons.
The 6’10 point forward was named NBA Rookie of the Year and has been selected for the NBA All-Star game three times.
Simmons was traded to the Brooklyn Nets in 2022 and recently signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Born in Melbourne, Australia, the athlete moved to the US in his teens to pursue his basketball career and quickly rose to prominence as a top prospect.
He played one season of college basketball at Louisiana State University before being selected first overall in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.
The property – which features on Top Ten Real Estate Deals – is currently on the market with Douglas Elliman for $16.995 million.
