  • Dwight Howard’s Georgia home is memorable for the way basketball shares space with the rest of his life. In Graham Bensinger’s owner-led tour, the former NBA center moves from the grounds to personal collections and eventually to the court. The result is a look at an athlete’s home that has more personality than a list of expensive rooms.

    The property is in Suwanee, northeast of Atlanta. USA Today reported September 24, 2026, that the 14-acre estate had been listed earlier that month for $14.5 million, with a dozen bedrooms and more than 20 bathrooms. Those figures describe the dated offering. They should not be read as a completed sale or a fresh appraisal of what the home is worth.

  • The official interview is especially useful because Howard supplies the context himself. Outside, he talks about enjoying the peaceful grounds. Inside, a hallway of basketball jerseys recalls players he admired or competed with. Rather than treating memorabilia as decoration bought to match a room, the tour shows objects connected to the homeowner’s career.

  • His movie area takes the same approach. Bensinger’s visit includes film collectibles and a discussion of Howard’s interests beyond basketball. A home theater can be little more than a dark room with a large screen; personal objects give this one a reason to feel different from another luxury listing.

    The tour also visits the vehicle collection and Howard’s snakes, two features that make the house unusually specific to its owner. Neither is a universal design recommendation. They are reminders that a home can be organized around interests that would never appear on someone else’s wish list.

    Basketball still gets the final say. Howard takes Bensinger onto the court for a playful demonstration, turning an amenity into an activity. That is the part to notice: the space has a clear purpose, and the owner actually uses it.

  • The video is an archived visit, not a promise that the collections or furnishings will transfer with any sale. For readers looking for an idea to borrow, the lesson is modest: give a favorite activity a real place, then let the room carry a little of your own history.
