After nearly three years of ownership, Al Horford is moving on from his Massachusetts estate. The property, situated on over an acre in the suburban community of Brookline, just minutes from downtown Boston, is back on the market for just under $9 million. The five-time NBA All-Star and highest-paid Latin American player, currently competing in the Eastern Conference Finals with the Boston Celtics, purchased the Colonial-inspired home for $7.5 million in the fall of 2021, shortly after it was newly built.

At the back of the house is a gourmet kitchen with sleek white cabinetry, an eat-in island that seats four, a walk-in pantry, and high-end Miele, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances.
