It must be nice to be Derek Jeter. This is a guy who was just recently was locked in a bitter battle over his contract. I think he’s got a good deal of money.
Actually, it’s funny. This entire mansion cost Jeter $7.7 million and he is currently selling his Manhattan apartment for $20 million. Yeah, New York real estate is expensive and Tampa is just America’s wang.
Might have to swing by this weekend and get a shot from the front.
looks antiseptic…
I had read $32 million, but that was was few years ago when the project started. Maybe Jeter cut some corners, linoleum and some formica?
Your $32 million goes a long way now…
Yeah, I think he can sell Minka on those digs, what do you think?
20 million for an apartment in NY and 7.7 million for a mansion in Tampa. That does not even account for the reduced property taxes!! Gotta love NY.
Actually, property taxes in NYC are very low.
State and City income taxes are the problem.
@Kevin, Jeter seems to really like stone houses. He has a place in Greenwood Lake, NJ that is all stone. It doesn't quite look like that though.
I can understand the reason that the neighbors were upset w/ the house. Doesn’t fit Fl with that architecture, very strange looking hybrid..
Based on this photo, and also the price, it looks like it is just a very big house on a small waterfront plot. A mansion, but no estate.
Plus the house is kind of tacky looking, at least from the outside. But, let's face it, I'm just jealous; I wish I could buy a waterfront mansion that jealous people would call tacky.
Anyway, a Tampa domicile makes sense for Jeet: close to the Yankees headquarters, for what will probably be a lifelong relationship, plus he'll qualify for Florida income tax of $zero.
7.7 mil is just what he paid for the land. Had to purchase two neighboring homes and combine the lots.
