Baseball legend David Ortiz choked up and offered to sell the $3,500,000 house because his children had grown up and left the house



Former Boston Red Sox star and Baseball Hall of Famer David Ortiz, also known as “Big Papi,” has listed his Pinecrest, Florida mansion for sale. Here are some details about the property:

Purchase History: Ortiz and his then-wife Tiffany purchased the property for $1.5 million in 2016. They built the mansion in 2019.

Reason for Selling: Ortiz cited the fact that his children, Alexandra (21) and D’Angelo (18), have grown up and moved out of the house as the reason for selling. He and Tiffany also separated in 2021. Property Features: The mansion boasts five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms, with a total living space of 10,178 square feet. It’s listed for $12.5 million with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. Design Style: The home is described as a blend of modern style and unmatched elegance. It features water features, a grand foyer, and floor-to-ceiling white linen drapes. Large windows throughout the house provide panoramic views of the outdoors.

Master Suite: The master suite includes a boutique walk-in closet, a sitting area, and a spa bath with a floating tub and a large 16 ft. shower. Kitchen: The Ortiz family’s favorite space in the house was the kitchen, which features a large cooking island, a dining room area, appliances by Wolf/SubZero, and a walk-in pantry. Entertainment: The mansion includes a state-of-the-art home theater room with surround sound, a sports bar room with a large panorama TV above the bar, and unique features like an elevator, a maid’s room, and three fire pits.

Outdoor Area: Outside, there’s a pool with a seating area, a spa, a covered terrace, an outdoor shower, and a “summer kit” with an outdoor cooking space, grill, and outdoor dining seating. Hall of Fame: Ortiz was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame nearly a year before listing the property. He became the youngest player at the age of 46 to achieve this honor. Ortiz played 20 years with the Boston Red Sox, winning three World Series titles. Personal Journey: Ortiz faced a challenging recovery journey after being shot in June 2019 by drug lord César “The Abuser” Peralta.

The sale of the property marks a new chapter for Ortiz after his remarkable baseball career and induction into the Hall of Fame.
