University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino is renting out his 6,055-square-foot mansion in Bal Harbour, FL. The luxe property went up for sale in February 2016, but a buyer did not materialize.

The six-bedroom, 7.5-bath home is still available for purchase for $4.3 million. It could also be rented for a whopping $18,000 a month. Built in 2006, the two-story, Mediterranean-style mansion is located in a gated community just one block from Biscayne Bay, just north of Miami Beach.

Double doors with custom metalwork open to an impressive stone entryway. The home’s lower level has stone floors, cathedral ceilings, a stone fireplace and mantel, arched doorways, decorative columns, and chandeliers.

The chef’s kitchen has white light-colored countertops, a chef’s island, double refrigerator, and Wolf range. A kitchen pass-through over the sink allows you to do dishes while watching TV in the adjoining family room.

The home includes an entertainment area with a bar, wine fridge, and built-in bookcases. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet with custom storage, and a master bathroom with a gold-tiled tub enclosure, dual sinks, and a built-in vanity.

Outside, the tropical backyard is bordered by palm trees for privacy. There’s also a pool, waterfall, and stone elements. The home was last sold in 2013 for $3.75 million, according to public records.

Pitino’s home is toward the upper end of asking prices in Bal Harbour, which has a median list price of $900,000. The most expensive home in the community is a $36 million mansion just a few blocks away. Other famous residents include Miami Heat majority owner Micky Arison.

Pitino has been the head coach of the Louisville Cardinals men’s basketball program since 2001. He began his coaching career in 1974 and has bounced between coaching college hoops and the NBA since then, winning NCAA titles in 1996 and 2013.

Earlier this year, Pitino put a second Florida mansion on the market, with an asking price of $25.9 million. Clearly, it’s good to be the coach.
