Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s request for a fence around new Ohio mansion reportedly shot down
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s request to build a fence around their new Ohio home was reportedly rejected. Before tying the knot, Kelce purchased the $5.35 million property, which sits on 3.5 acres along Lake Erie. Spanning 21,000 square feet, the lavish home features eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.
The mansion was also recently renovated, with many of its original features thoughtfully restored. The Daily Mail reported that the couple wanted to build an 8-foot fence around their Bratenahl estate along Lake Erie. However, their request was declined by the Bratenahl Architectural Review Board during two meetings.
Local rules limit lakefront fences to 2.5 feet in height unless they are at least 75% see-through to preserve lake views and property values.
When Kelce purchased the property in March, he sought an 8-foot fence around the estate. This would have violated local code. The NFL star later discussed the matter with village officials and neighbors. He reportedly agreed to lower the fence and acknowledged that enclosing the entire property was unnecessary.
A village official told the outlet that a new fence permit has been submitted. Meanwhile, Page Six reported that the couple has taken additional precautions to protect their privacy and security. They have reportedly installed a warning alarm around the property.
A source told the outlet, “A neighbor approached the house and got a voice warning about not passing onto the property after getting too close to the house.” Although the couple is reportedly taking various privacy and security measures, they have allegedly not caused any commotion since moving into their new home.
