No, it wont be on MTV anytime soon, but check out Jete’s new digs in sunny Florida. Cost him about 2 month’s pay, the poor guy. Maybe he can do a few more “Ford Edge” and “Gillette Fusion” commercials to make up for it.
TAMPA – Rising like an aircraft carrier under construction, the future home of New York Yankees baseball star Derek Jeter is taking shape on Davis Islands.
Designed with a whopping 30,875 square feet of space, the seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom waterfront home dwarfs nearby mansions and could end up the largest home in Hillsborough County. It’s roughly the size of a BestBuy electronics store and twice the size of the previous No. 1 house, just across Hillsborough Bay on Bayshore Boulevard, owned by Lazydays RV SuperCenter founder Don Wallace.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 dvdrip Kered Connors LLC, which lists Jeter as the “sole member,” purchased adjacent waterfront lots on Davis Islands’ Bahama Circle in 2005 and 2006. (“Kered” spells “Derek” backward.) Kered Connors paid $7.7 million for the properties at Bahama Circle and Baffin Avenue.
Because it’s one of a kind and unlikely to attract many buyers besides the ultrawealthy, the market value of the home is hard to determine. Using the rough selling price of waterfront Davis Islands properties, the home itself could be worth $6.2 million to $7.7 million, depending on features.
Jeter is making $21.6 million this season with the Yankees.
I understand there’s a recording of Bob Sheppard’s voice when you enter the front door as well. He really spared no expense. Although for some reason he didn’t build a garage, so apparently his dates will still have to pay for their parking down the block.
I’ve seen people comment on the place already, saying stuff like this:
“The guy is a bachelor, what does he need a house that big for?”
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday . . . Just like Hugh Hefner. Or maybe he could go ahead and get married but not see his wife for months in that place, which would effectively mean he’s still single.
