Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recently upgraded to a $6 million mansion in Kansas City. The 17,000-square-foot mansion is found in a gated community inside the suburb of Leawood, Realtor.com reported. 

Kelce also appears to have scored a deal as the property was originally listed in September 2022 for $6.9 million. The home sits on approximately 3.5 acres at the end of a cul-de-sac and has much more privacy than the NFL star’s previous residence in Briarcliff West from 2019.

And since being romantically linked with Taylor Swift, more privacy is definitely necessary. Sources reported to TMZ that Kelce’s previous house was “simply far too accessible” and “starting to become a tourist attraction.” Fans began flocking to the area and taking photos of the home.

The new mansion not only offers privacy, but plenty of space and amenities perfect for the football powerhouse and his superstar love interest. It has six bedrooms and six bathrooms, as well as a chef’s kitchen, formal dining room, media lounge, wine cellar and a full bar. Outside amenities include a  spacious backyard with a pool area, a six-car garage, an outdoor kitchen, a tennis/pickleball court, a waterfall, a hot tub and a miniature golf course.

According to the listing, the property was originally built in 1998 and has undergone a massive renovation by Wolfgang Trost Architects and builder Harry Roth.

The two-time Super Bowl Champ has added a few properties to his portfolio since being drafted by the Chiefs in 2013, Robb Report reported. Kelce purchased the 10,000-square-foot Briarcliff West home for $995K. That home included five bedrooms, two baths, a fitness room, a movie theater and a swimming pool. In the same year, the player purchased a condo in Orlando, Florida for $335K.

Although Swift and Kelce have appeared to be getting serious, the new home is all Kelce’s, with sources telling TMZ he bought it with his own cash. Swift has an impressive real estate portfolio of her own, with $150 million worth of property investments.

In a move that’s got Kansas City buzzing, Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ dynamic tight end, has upgraded his living situation to jaw-dropping heights — and it’s all thanks to a certain pop sensation named Taylor Swift.

The deal on Kelce’s new $6 million mansion there recently closed, and sources close to the situation told The Post that the NFL star decided it was time for a major upgrade.

His former humble abode just wasn’t cutting it when it came to impress his new love interest, Swift.

Insiders revealed that Kelce was feeling a tad “self-conscious” about his relatively modest pad and decided it was time to take things up a notch.

The reason? Winning over the heart of Swift, who is no stranger to the world of luxury.

It seems Kelce wanted to match the grandeur of her lifestyle, and this new residence might just do the trick.

Kelce’s Chiefs’ salary jumped from $2.9M in 2022 to $11.2M this year.

Coupled with the millions he’s making in endorsement deals with companies like Pfizer, Nike, Bud Light and State Farm, 2023 has been a financial windfall for the tight end.

Aside from his mission to impress Swift, Kelce had another pressing reason to make this high-profile move.

His old house was just too accessible, becoming an unintended tourist attraction, separate sources told TMZ.

The old place had its charm, but Kelce was over the constant swarm of fans and tourists who had turned his humble abode into a bona fide spectacle.

So safe to say Kelce got a bit of a deal there.

Built in 1998, the house, located in Leawood, features six bedrooms, and six baths and spans 17,000 square feet.

Kelce’s new love nest screams luxury.

The property includes a spacious six-car garage, a wine cellar to satisfy even the most discerning oenophiles, a “Beverly Hills”-style pool area, a lighted tennis and pickleball court, and a miniature golf course.

All of this is situated on over 3 acres of pristine land.

The newfound privacy is proving to be a relief for Kelce.

Just this past weekend, when Swift came to visit the 34-year-old NFL star in Kansas City, paparazzi had to park outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebrity couple.

With the privacy of his new mansion, Kelce can now enjoy quality time with his famous girlfriend without the prying eyes of the public.
