New photos show the stunning details inside Travis Kelce‘s new $5.35 million lakefront mansion purchased just months before marrying Taylor Swift.
Property records obtained by The Wall Street Journal this week revealed the NFL star’s massive purchase miles from downtown Cleveland. Kelce has purchased the 131-year-old, recently renovated home that was initially listed at nearly $7 million in 2024 before its price was slashed to $5.99 million.
Kelce reportedly closed on the property in March, taking the newly married couple’s real-estate portfolio into double digits.
And the Daily Mail has now exclusively obtained pictures inside the 3.5-acre property on the shore of Lake Erie, which boasts 21,000-square-foot of space including eight bedrooms, a ballroom and a home theatre.
The house also comes with a two-bedroom guest cottage, that once served as the gatehouse to the property, and a huge swimming pool in the back yard. It is also conveniently located near a private airport.
Photos of the exterior show the stunning brick exterior as well as an old-fashioned streetlight in front of the porch and a vast, U-shaped driveway running past the front door.

Once inside, guests will be exposed to stunning wooden decor including a vast, open staircase and unique details including decorative statues of griffins on the stair posts.
Another photo shows a separate lounge area with a vast fireplace, striking blue wall and floral curtains as well as a high ceiling with white ornate plasterwork.
Another cozier sitting room features another fireplace and old bookcase among the classical interior.
The couple will be able to welcome guests to a vast dining room featuring unique, tall stained glass windows. Swift is well-known to enjoy cooking for guests in her spare time.
According to Realtor.com, the couple had no fewer than nine homes in early July, including Swift’s New York condo and her mansions in Rhode Island, Nashville and California. Kelce, meanwhile, entered the relationship with his own mansion in Kansas City.
‘We’re thrilled for the new owners and so excited for Cleveland,’ brokers David Ayers and Nick Zawitz of The Agency Cleveland told WSJ.com.
A native of Cleveland Heights, Kelce is intensely proud of his Cuyahoga County roots. And while Swift is accustomed to spending time in her $50 million lower-Manhattan marvel, she has embraced his hometown by attending Cleveland Cavaliers games with Kelce on top of family obligations.
They will now add a very modern chapter to a town – Bratenahl- whose history is steeped in Cleveland’s industrial wealth.

A recent description shared by the Ohio Explored Facebook page paints an idyllic picture of the tiny lakeside community, describing it as ‘one of the smallest and most secluded villages on all of Lake Erie.’
The page highlights the village’s ‘winding tree-lined lanes,’ grand estates and stone-gated mansions, with lawns stretching toward the shoreline.
It also describes Bratenahl as a place where Cleveland’s wealthiest families once escaped to enjoy the lake, with that history of grand summer homes and year-round retreats still shaping the village today.
The result is an atmosphere of ‘hushed serenity’ that feels a world away from the city despite being only minutes from downtown Cleveland.
The village had just 1,430 residents at the 2020 census, making it remarkably small for a community with such an impressive collection of homes.
Bratenahl’s median listing price was $489,755 in July, according to Redfin, although the village’s trophy homes can sell for several million dollars.
The new mansion was not the only major purchase revealed by Kelce this week. He and Swift have also added a new dog.
The pup, a white Samoyed which is rumored to be named Wendy according to Forbes, made its first public appearance in a new ad campaign for Tommy Hilfiger.

Wendy appears alongside the three-time Super Bowl winner on the roof of the Plaza Hotel, lounging on a black-and-white sofa as Kelce poses in a navy peacoat and white turtleneck.
The fluffy canine also makes a cameo in a video for the campaign, following her famous dog dad through the iconic New York hotel.
The American fashion brand had been looking to cast a dog for the ad when Kelce volunteered his and Swift’s own, Vogue reported.
‘We figured, why not her? She crushed it and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic, too,’ Kelce told the outlet. ‘Those are some of my favorite shots.’
Kelce gushed over his gorgeous new pet, saying: ‘She lights up my day.’
The pet’s existence was first revealed by the Daily Mail in exclusive footage from inside the couple’s wedding, which showed a picture of the happy couple posing with their furry friend.
A source told the Daily Mail that ‘it seems that Travis made it happen’ regarding the dog.
