Former NBA All-Star Allan Houston is making headlines off the court as his longtime Westchester County estate returns to the market for $17.5 million. The luxury property, built for Houston and his family in 2006, reflects both his NBA career and his years with the New York Knicks.
Trying Again
The two-time NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist remains one of the most recognizable figures in New York Knicks history. He is best remembered for signing a six-year, $100 million contract with the Knicks in July 2001 and promptly spiraling into a cycle of injuries that left the team with a player they could not keep suited up and an enormous contract that counted against the luxury tax cap. The situation led to the league’s creation of the “Allan Houston rule” that allowed a team to waive one player without his salary counting against the luxury cap tax even though he is still being paid.
Houston is best remembered for his game-winning shot against the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the 1999 first-round playoff series, a basket that propelled the Knicks into a postseason run that culminated in the first NBA Finals appearance by an eighth-seeded team.
Now, Houston’s sprawling French Country-style estate in Armonk, New York, is back on the market with a $17.5 million asking price.
The property was first listed in 2015 for $19.9 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. Public records show it was most recently offered in April 2025 for $20 million before returning to the market at its reduced price.
Built in 2006 for Houston, his wife, Tamara, and their seven children, the custom limestone manor spans nearly 17,200 square feet on approximately 10 acres within Conyers Farm, a gated community that straddles the New York-Connecticut border. The estate overlooks Converse Lake.
The listing is held by Danielle Claroni and Christian Perry of Sotheby’s International Realty’s Greenwich brokerage.
Designed by architect James Davis, the eight-bedroom residence features 11 full bathrooms and a series of expansive living and entertaining spaces. A great room with a fireplace opens to a semicircular music alcove with a grand piano, while a recreation room provides additional gathering space.
Elsewhere, a formal study offers a quieter retreat, and the home’s kitchen includes a large island with integrated seating adjacent to a dining room anchored by a double-sided fireplace.
The primary suite features two dressing rooms with custom wood cabinetry and built-in shoe storage. Its bathroom includes polished onyx flooring and a freestanding soaking tub.
Outside, the three-story stone-clad home is fronted by a spacious courtyard and four-car garage. The landscaped grounds include a heated swimming pool and spa, a putting green and a playground.
The estate’s signature feature pays tribute to Houston’s basketball career.
An indoor half basketball court with a three-point line and vaulted ceilings serves as the centerpiece of the home’s recreational amenities. The property also includes a full gym, steam room and home theater.
Houston was selected by the Detroit Pistons in the 1993 NBA draft and spent three seasons with the franchise before joining the Knicks in 1996. He played in New York through 2005, establishing himself as one of the team’s top scorers and becoming a central figure in its late-1990s playoff success.
Following his playing career, Houston remained connected to the organization. He currently serves as a senior advisor for leadership development with the Knicks.
With its combination of resort-style amenities, custom architecture and basketball-inspired features, the Armonk estate reflects both Houston’s NBA legacy and the family home he built during the height of his playing career.
