Life is seemingly going pretty well right now for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Not only was he named the 2020 Super Bowl MVP thanks to his team’s win against the San Francisco 49ers (led by Jimmy Garoppolo), but he also has a loving girlfriend in his high school sweetheart, Brittany Matthews, and a very special home.

In 2019, Mahomes bought his first house, which he shares with Matthews. “It’s cool, I mean, just to have your own place. Our own house that we can grow into,” he told the Bleacher Report in August 2019. “And so this is definitely a big step in our lives.”

That big step involved a nice chunk of cash. The couple paid $1.9 million for their abode which is located “in a private upscale community in the heart of Kansas City,” according to Haute Residence. Stretching over 3,759-square-feet, the house was built in 1953 and includes three-bedrooms as well as a “chef’s kitchen” and “open floor plan” that “has the clean lines and connection to nature that many of the best h
omes from that era are known for.”

Matthews decorated the home alongside interior designer Marci Knoff. The two opted for “dark woods, fireplaces, white walls, and gray furniture accents” to “give the house a relaxed and comfortable vibe.” While that sounds lovely, it’s not nearly as impressive as other features in the home.

In August 2019, NFL star Patrick Mahomes took the Bleacher Report on a tour of his home. While there are plenty of notable features that he could have shown off, nothing compares to the custom room he created solely (pun intended) for his shoes. He explained, “We renovated a lot of the house. The last thing was the shoe room. That has been something that I’ve wanted for the last six, seven years, at least.”
According to CNBC, the special shoe-focused space “is outfitted with display lights, shelves to hold his sneakers, and racks for his sunglasses.” The large area, which is much bigger than a normal closet, also boasts plenty of windows and a glass door that all frame gorgeous, grassy views outside.
What’s inside will also leave you envious if you, too, are into shoes. The wide-open room is filled with 180 pairs of sneakers in various colors and styles. That impressive collection is perhaps why CNBC notes that “[t]here’s even a security camera.” The athlete joked that the camera was mostly in place for his brother, saying, ‘I know he’ll try to be in my shoe closet … I can look to make sure all my shoes are still here.'” This man obviously takes his sneakers as seriously as he takes football.
