Pretty Boy’s New House

From the NY Daily News:

Dream job, dream wife – and now Tom Brady is getting his dream house.

The three-time Super Bowl- winning quarterback and his supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, are building a sprawling California home – nearly 22,000 square feet in all, from wine cellar to weight room.

The 3.75-acre Brentwood lot, just down the street from the home of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, was abuzz with construction workers whipping the eight-bedroom palace into shape.

Other amenities include a six-car garage, a covered bridge connecting two parts of the house, a nursery for 5-month-old son Benjamin and a lagoon-shaped pool – with spa.  There’s a cardio room and a weight room to keep both spouses in shape for their respective careers, and an elevator to make getting around the enormous two-story home a little easier.

The total cost of the Mediterranean-style mansion could run to about $20 million.

The New England All-Pro and his Brazilian-born wife can cover the tab. Brady is in the last season of a six-year, $60 million contract, and Gisele catwalked her way to a reported $25 million last year.

The couple paid more than $11 million for the lot. It’s unclear when the quarterback and the supermodel will move in.

  2. Take the elevator out and you could lop a few square feet off the cardio room.

  4. Looks like a lot of wood and plywood or particleboard for a $20M house. How long will that last?

  5. Not particle board! It’s OSB (oriented strand board). As strong as plywood. It’ll last a lot longer than we do.
