There’s one home base that Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki won’t be touching again: his estate in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. The five-time All-Star recently completed a sale of his former home for $4.55 million.
Tulowitzki was traded last summer by the Colorado Rockies, the only professional organization he’d known in his career. Colorado drafted the former Cal State Long Beach star with the seventh overall selection in the 2005 MLB Draft. After setting off for the Great White North, Tulowitzki put his two-plus-acre estate on the market for $5.89 million, before lowering the price to $5.485 million in March.
The Traditional-style estate has more than 14,000 square feet of living area across two floors, both of which are serviced by an elevator and grand staircases. There’s also an expansive basement area, built out with a fitness center, a wine cellar, and separate billiards, media and rec rooms—all the amenities you’d expect in a star athlete’s home. Other notable features include a great room with box-beam ceilings, a chef’s kitchen with an oversized island, and two studies with custom built-ins. The master suite has a steam shower and soaking tub and offers up sweeping views of the Rockies. In all, the house has seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and seven fireplaces. It sits on more than two acres of prime Colorado land, dominated by pine trees and mountain views. There’s an outdoor pavilion, multiple patios, a swimming pool and spa, and manicured lawns surrounding the estate.
Tulowitzki purchased the home in 2011 for a reported $4.8 million, not long after signing an extension that brought his current contract to 10 years and $134 million. The 31-year-old is hitting .253 with 22 home runs for the first-place Blue Jays this season.
