Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce closed on a $5.35 million lakefront estate in Bratenahl, Ohio, in March 2026, according to News 5 Cleveland. The 21,140-square-foot property sits on 3.5 acres of Lake Erie shoreline east of downtown Cleveland, just a few miles from the Cleveland Heights neighborhood where Kelce grew up.
Key Numbers
- Sale price: $5.35 million, closed March 2026
- Size: 21,140 square feet on 3.5 acres
- Rooms: 8 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms
- Original ask: $6.99 million, later cut to $5.99 million
The estate, known locally as “Moyenage,” dates to the 19th century and was fully restored by Figurati Construction Group, which bought the property in 2023 for $1.95 million before putting it back on the market, according to WKYC Cleveland and HITC. The restoration preserved the home’s historic bones, including high-quality wood paneling, marble surfaces and a grand entrance hall with beamed ceilings and multiple fireplaces, while updating the mechanical systems and finishes throughout.
What’s Inside
Beyond the eight bedrooms and eleven bathrooms, the property includes a wine cellar, a home theater, a sauna, an indoor bar, a game room and separate billiards and card rooms, per HITC’s reporting on the listing. There’s also an outdoor kitchen built to take advantage of the lakefront setting, and the three-story layout keeps the entertaining spaces separated from the private wings.
A Property With History
Before Figurati’s renovation, the Bratenahl estate passed through a short list of notable Cleveland-area owners, including a former Sherwin-Williams Co. president and a former Cleveland Clinic Innovations executive director, according to WKYC. Bratenahl itself is one of the smaller and wealthier lakefront enclaves in Cuyahoga County, a strip of estates along Lake Shore Boulevard that has drawn Cleveland’s business elite for more than a century.
The deal closed through The Agency Cleveland, with agents David Ayers and Nick Zawitz representing the transaction and attorney Sam Totino of the Calfee law firm handling the legal side, per WKYC’s report. At $5.35 million, the sale price lands roughly $1.6 million below where the home was first listed in 2023, reflecting how long large lakefront estates in the region can sit before finding a buyer even after a full restoration.
How the Price Moved
Figurati Construction Group’s math on the property illustrates how much capital goes into restoring a century-old lakefront mansion. The firm paid $1.95 million for the home in 2023, then spent roughly a year and a half on structural and cosmetic work before listing it that year at $6.99 million. When the property didn’t move at that price, the ask was trimmed to $5.99 million, and it ultimately traded hands for $5.35 million, a final sale price still nearly $3.4 million above the pre-renovation purchase price, even after two rounds of discounting.
Bratenahl is a small, largely residential village on Cleveland’s eastern lakeshore, and its Lake Shore Boulevard corridor of historic estates trades infrequently by nature. There simply aren’t many comparable lakefront mansions to draw from when pricing a sale. That scarcity, combined with the narrow pool of buyers able to take on an eight-bedroom, 21,000-square-foot house and its associated upkeep, helps explain why a fully restored property can still sit on the market for the better part of a year before closing.
