The Kansas City Chiefs star paid $5.35 million for Moyenage, a grand estate overlooking Lake Erie, but its history stretches beyond football and celebrity real estate.<!-- --> The mansion was designed for the same steel magnate who commissioned a strikingly similar house in Illinois several years earlier. Now, that architectural relative, the House of Seven Gables in Wheaton, is on the market for $1.75 million, offering buyers a rare chance to own a piece of the story behind Kelce\u2019s impressive new property.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Travis Kelce\u2019s Ohio mansion has a historic architectural connection<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Kelce\u2019s Bratenahl estate, known as Moyenage, stands out for its scale. The roughly 21,000-square-foot property sits on 3.5 acres overlooking Lake Erie and includes eight bedrooms, a game room, home theatre and a separate two-bedroom gatehouse.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>But the story behind the house makes the property even more intriguing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Architect Jarvis Hunt originally designed Moyenage for Chicago steel magnate Jay C. Morse around the start of the 20th century. Before that, Hunt had designed the House of Seven Gables in Wheaton, Illinois, for Morse in 1897.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Jenny Ames of Engel &amp; V\u00f6lkers Chicago, who is representing the Illinois property with Lisa Grimes, said the connection is more than a coincidence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"1000260346\" msid=\"134687557\" imgsize=\"214560\" resizemode=\"4\" width=\"\" title=\"The House of Seven Gables in Wheaton, Illinois, was built in 1897.Blank Creative\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"47529300\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/imgsize-214560,msid-134687557\/1000260346.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The House of Seven Gables in Wheaton, Illinois, was built in 1897.Blank Creative<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe resemblance is really quite remarkable,\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>\u201cHistorical accounts indicate that when Morse later built Moyenage in Ohio, he asked Hunt to design it based on his Wheaton home,\u201d Ames said. \u201cSo when you look at the two houses side by side, you are not simply seeing two homes by the same architect. You are seeing two versions of a very personal architectural vision created for the same owner.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Both properties showcase Tudor and Jacobean influences, with brick exteriors, steep gables, large chimneys and elaborate interiors.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>House of Seven Gables offers a smaller version of Kelce\u2019s mansion<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Illinois home is considerably smaller than Kelce\u2019s Ohio residence, covering about 10,000 square feet on less than half an acre. It has seven bedrooms, three floors and a newly built three-car garage.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Inside, however, its historic character remains strong. Original fireplaces, oak panelling, carved woodwork, flooring, leaded glass and beamed ceilings have survived decades of changes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>\u201cThe interiors are where the relationship becomes especially interesting,\u201d Ames said. <!-- -->\u201cBoth homes have extraordinary woodwork, beamed ceilings, substantial staircases, leaded glass and formal rooms organized on a grand scale.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>The property also has an unusual survival story. After serving as the Loretto Convent for decades, the mansion faced demolition during redevelopment. In 2017, workers moved the approximately 730-ton structure about 500 feet to a new site.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>\u201cThey moved the structure intact,\u201d Ames said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>The remarkable operation involved placing the mansion on steel beams and 21 hydraulic dollies before moving it onto a new foundation. The process reportedly took about six hours.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>For Kelce, Moyenage is now part of his growing real estate portfolio. For prospective buyers in Illinois, the House of Seven Gables offers something even more unusual: a chance to own the architectural predecessor of the Chiefs star\u2019s historic Ohio retreat.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/nfl\/news\/travis-kelces-5-35m-ohio-mansion-has-a-1-75m-architectural-twin-in-illinois\/articleshow\/134687455.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travis Kelce (Image via Getty) Travis Kelce\u2019s new Ohio mansion has an unusual connection to another historic home nearly 400 miles away.
