BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI – Matthew and Kelly Stafford will leave Michigan soon as Lions and their defender for the past 12 seasons have mutually agreed to part ways. Now, Stafford’s luxurious mansion is back on the market, priced at $ 6.5 million.
The 12,000-square-foot property is located on 1867 Long Pointe Drive in Bloomfield Hills with more than 120 feet of frontage along Upper Long Lake. The Staffords, who have four young children, originally listed the house for the same price last summer because they wanted to find a place with less water. Here’s what Kelly said at that time.
“We are about to have our fourth child and I personally do not want to live in a lake or have a pool with four children under 3 years old. This house has been incredible. We will never have a house like this. So it is a super sad thing, but it just makes us feel better knowing that there is no real danger of having little ones running in all bodies of water. “
Stafford’s realtor told MLive that they withdrew the house from the market because they didn’t want to move during the football season.
“We were looking for houses in the area, but now obviously the circumstances have changed, so we re-listed the house,” said Jeff Barker, associate broker at Max Broock Realtors. “I have been your realtor and friend for 11 years and I am sad to see you go.”

The five-bedroom, seven-bath home has an infinity pool larger than any other home in Michigan, according to the manufacturer. It comes complete with a waterfall on the side.
Another feature you won’t find anywhere else besides this house, which was built in 1980, is the indoor half court. But it is not just any court. The floor is the original court on which the Detroit Pistons played when they were at the Pontiac Silverdome. This court was already inside the house when the Staffords bought it.

The kitchen has two islands with counter seating. Then there is the glass-floored dining room that overlooks the more than 600 temperature-controlled wine cellars below. And when you are in the cellar, you can see above in the dining area.

“This house is in perfect condition. It is an artist’s dream. It has everything that anyone could wish for in today’s world. It is probably one of the best homes in the country, not just in Michigan. It really is a spectacular residence, ”added Baker.
The Staffords remodeled the house in 2016 and added more than 2,000 square feet to it. The interior now features polished granite floors throughout, along with new cabinets. There are five fireplaces, a glass elevator that serves all three floors and a giant cave, which you can see in the photo gallery above with the pool table.
The first floor master suite now has a marble bathroom. There is also a leisure area in the room with a TV on the wall and a cafeteria. Two of the other four bedrooms have balconies that Staffords added to the remodel.

On the lower level of the standstill, there is a dry and steam sauna, along with a room with two baths side by side. To get to the house, you must go through an iron gate. There is a three-car garage with mirrored doors to reflect the landscape. There is a brick pavement, limestone exterior, granite veranda and a two-story foyer.
