Hat tip to Matt for sending this in from the U-T, which looks more like a broker promo but the reporter gave credit for the listing to Antigen – who claims to be a sports-celebrity realtor. Keller Williams is the actual listing broker in the MLS. The house has been on the market for 132 days:
LaDainian Tomlinson has moved on from the Chargers to the Jets and now the future Hall of Fame running back plans to literally move.
Tomlinson has placed his 9,564-square-foot Poway home, built in 2004, on the market.
Asking price: $5,210,000. Annual taxes: $40,398, and HOA fee = $1,100 per month.
The house includes five full baths and one half bath. With six garage spaces, LT apparently likes his rides. Other amenities include:
-
A lavish pool with bridge and slide.
-
Outdoor full-length lighted basketball court.
-
Theater room.
-
Large aquarium.
-
Outdoor barbecue patio that seemingly could sleep 10 for slumber parties.
-
Wine cellar.
-
And based on aerial photos, lots of palm trees.
If the square footage doesn’t seem to be enough, there is room to grow, given the 578,477-square-foot lot.
The home is listed by Antigen Realty. Click here to view more photos.
Every time I look at a house like that I cringe at the amount of ongoing maintenance you’d have to do…
JTR – Looks like he bought it as a builder/spec home in 2004? lot bought for $600k in ’03, sold for $3.5mm in ’04 (which seems about right at the time around $400/sf+/-).
Seems like a good deal given the price of homes in California.
In my burb of LA they would be asking $15 mill and the lot would be much much smaller. We have a handfull of $7-9 mill listings and they aren’t getting any activity at those prices. Right now sales seem to stop at the $3 mill price point. Quite a few of the higher priced homes were delisted in the past week.
You forgot the chipping and putting area with sand trap. What no football field? Good values in the Heritage. Gated, huge lots. Most of the homes are here are much cheaper, but only slightly scaled down in style and size. Kind of a poor man’s RSF.
Please tell me that’s a fake car in the home theatre, and not an actual car cut along its length!
$53,598 per year in taxes and fees? Gads! How much if you just rent the place?
“How much if you just rent the place?”
Rent doesn’t seem to scale properly with the value of a property. That is, in general, the less expensive a property is, the more (on a percentage of total ownership cost basis) one will get. Likewise, expensive properties rent for relatively cheap, in comparison to total ownership costs.
Is that a putting green?
