Big Papi’s Former Miami Mansion Lists for $11.495 Million
Baseball legend David “Big Papi” Ortiz hit five home runs in the 2004 World Series and helped the Red Sox end their eighty-six-year championship drought. The designated hitter and first baseman also played a leading role in the team’s World Series wins in 2007 and 2013. In 2013, he was named MLB’s Most Valuable Player. Considered one of the greatest designated hitters of all time, Big Papi set major league records for career home runs (485), RBIs (1,569) and hits (2,192) as a DH. He was a ten-time All-Star and a seven-time Silver Slugger winner. He remains the Red Sox single-season home run leader and has the most seasons of 30 or more home runs and 100 or more RBIs in the team’s history. The talented athlete was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2022 in his first year of eligibility, with 77.9% of the vote.
The super slugger’s former Miami mansion is a superstar too. On the market for $11.495 million, the elegant, modern-inspired residence exudes class and charm. The dramatic entry features fire-and-water features leading up to a striking glass front. Palm trees surround the house for ultimate tropical paradise vibes. Floor-to-ceiling windows make them visible from nearly every room. Big Papi, who has a bit of the home-flipper gene, originally purchased the land in 2016 and completed construction on the custom-built home in 2019. He sold the home in 2023 for nearly $10.6 million – a record price for Pinecrest.
