Travis Kelce bought a sprawling lakefront mansion months before marrying Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce closed on an Ohio mansion for $5.35 million back in March, snapping up the Lake Erie estate months before he made Taylor Swift his wife at Madison Square Garden in July.The Bratenahl property initially listed for $5.99 million after being freshly renovated, and the deal closed on March 2, according to listing records reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. Built in 1895, the sprawling 21,140-square-foot compound sits on 3.5 acres along the water and comes stacked with eight bedrooms, eight full and three half baths, and a five-car garage.The Cuyahoga County native grew up just a few miles away in Cleveland Heights, and the home’s location near a private airstrip should make life easier for a couple juggling a real estate footprint that’s already climbed into double digits. Swift brought her own collection into the marriage, including a Manhattan condo and homes scattered across Rhode Island, Nashville and California, while Kelce arrived with his own place in Kansas City.David Ayers, who brokered the deal alongside Nick Zawitz of The Agency Cleveland, said the Gilded Age property blends old world charm with a serious glow-up. “Meticulously restored original details paired with its exceptional modern amenities has created a truly rare Great Lakes estate,” Ayers told The Post in a statement.“We’re thrilled for the new owners and so excited for Cleveland.”The mansion buy wasn’t the only headline out of Kelce’s world this week.

He and Swift also introduced the world to their new Samoyed puppy Wendy, who made her modeling debut in a Tommy Hilfiger campaign shoot on the roof of the Plaza Hotel. Kelce told Vogue the brand needed a dog for the shoot and he didn’t hesitate to volunteer his own. “We figured, why not her? She crushed it and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic, too,” he said.“Those are some of my favorite shots.” Of his new pup, he added simply, “She lights up my day.”...
