Newly signed Milwaukee Bucks point guard Matthew Dellavedova is now settled into his new home state of Wisconsin, buying a $1.36 million home on the shores of Lake Michigan.

The 3,725-square-foot, five-bedroom, Tudor-style home has three full bathrooms and two half-baths on nearly half an acre. The home was originally built in 1934, but underwent a top-to-bottom renovation that kept much of the home’s original character intact.

It’s located in the Milwaukee suburb of Shorewood, about 15 minutes north of BMO Harris Bradley Center, current home of the team. In June, the Bucks broke ground on a new stadium in downtown Milwaukee.

Dellavedova’s new home features hardwood flooring, custom woodwork and metalwork, built-ins, original arched doorways, and an open-concept floor plan. Picture windows on the home’s lower level look out onto the lake.

The updated kitchen has white stone countertops, custom cabinetry, a large chef’s island, a Wolf range, stainless steel appliances, and a full subway-tile backsplash. A mud room with heated tiles, built-in lockers, and a second refrigerator will be key to getting through the Wisconsin winter.

The home’s bedrooms and bathrooms retain much of their original character. Classic custom tile work anchors updated showers, sinks, and vanities. Some of the bedrooms include their original, angled ceilings, hardwood floors, and leaded glass windows.

Downstairs, a carpeted basement rec room has rich wood paneling, a fireplace, and plenty of room for a pool table.

The home is at the upper end of comparable homes in Shorewood. Of the 158 properties currently listed for sale there, just one, located a couple of blocks away from Dellavedova’s home, is listed for a higher price. The home, a French chateau-style mansion originally built in 1917, is being listed for $1.5 million.

“Shorewood is a great community and very walkable,” listing agent Jay Schmidt told us via email. “Buyers like the proximity to downtown and the strong schools. Great restaurants, bars and shopping are popping up along Oakland Avenue.” Dellavedova’s home had originally been listed for $1.5 million in May. He purchased the home for $1.36 million in September.

Dellavedova, 26, was born in Australia, played college basketball in California and signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2013. He helped the team advance to the 2015 NBA Finals (the Cavs lost to the Warriors) and the 2016 NBA Finals (the Cavs beat the Warriors). In July, the guard signed a four-year, $38.5 million contract with the Bucks.
