Sports commentators are buzzing about Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Dončić as his team competes against the Boston Celtics in this year’s NBA Finals. But where does Luka Dončić live? Nicknamed Luka Magic, the Slovenian national became the youngest player drafted to the Real Madrid Baloncesto senior team at 16. Now 25, he’s been playing with the NBA since he was 19 years of age and quickly became Rookie of the Year in his first season. He’s also been selected to five consecutive NBA All-Star games, received five All-NBA First Team selections, and led the Mavericks to this year’s finals for only the third time in the team’s history.
The Mavericks’ number 77 is undeniably one of the hottest players in the NBA today. Standing at six feet seven inches tall, the baller consistently maintains that his heart is with the Dallas team and that he is not entertaining any other teams for the foreseeable future. Speaking to the media in 2019, Dončić made his loyalty to the Mavericks clear: “I want to stay here. If they want me, I’ll be here.” Dončić reiterated his sentiment in 2023 when he told NBA reporter Rachel Nichols, “I feel great here. They drafted me. I felt at home since day one, so I’m really happy where I’m at.”
In what can be considered a sign of his commitment to Texas, Dončić paid an estimated $3.3 million to put down roots in the affluent North Dallas neighborhood of Preston Hollow in 2020. Only a short drive from the home of his boss, Dallas Mavericks co-owner Mark Cuban, the four-bedroom, six-bathroom white-brick home has more than enough room for the young basketball star, his fiancée, and their six-month-old baby. Zillow estimates that the abode is currently worth around $4.3 million.
Built in 1984, the modernist ranch-style house underwent an extensive renovation around 2017, but it is unknown if Dončić made further upgrades once he moved in. The L-shaped home sits on just over three-quarters of an acre of land, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls and doors that punctuate a white-brick façade, offering framed views of the lush outdoors from almost every room and flooding the interior with natural light. Inside, clean, elegant lines dominate and blond hardwood floors create a seamless flow throughout.
A living room with a fireplace flows into an open kitchen with a large center island topped by a sleek, gray counter. This matches the stainless-steel appliances, which include a built-in wine refrigerator. As part of the renovations, the roof was raised slightly to create a lounge with a wet bar for entertaining guests and a powder room which can be accessed via a staircase adjacent to the kitchen.
The primary bedroom offers a direct view of the pool, with sliding doors that open to a patio with a long, rectangular firepit in between the bedroom and living room; the luxurious en suite bathroom features a white stand-alone tub, a glass-enclosed shower, and dual vanities. Surrounding the pool, a perfectly manicured lawn enhances the outdoor space, complemented by two short loggias and a pavilion. The pavilion is equipped with a BBQ grill and a small refrigerator, making it an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining during those warm Texas afternoons and nights. A known car enthusiast, Dončić has room for four of his toys in the garage.
With the newest addition to his family and the possibility of receiving the heftiest payday the NBA has ever shelled out should the phenom sign with the Mavericks again, it’s left to be seen whether or not Dončić will move his family to even larger digs.
