Neighbors told WSVN-TV that the house was being remodeled before it caught fire.
Authorities have yet to say what may have caused the inferno. Firefighters were battling the fire until mid-morning, but authorities said the fire was contained.
Property records show Spoelstra purchased the five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in December 2023. He agreed to a $120 million contract extension with the Heat in January 2024.
