New York Giants defender Jason Pierre-Paul has, at last, sold his home in Boca Raton. The defensive end had listed the property initially back in 2015, for $2.1 million, and saw the house through a series of price cuts that finally resulted in a $1.2 million sale. Easy come, easy go: Pierre-Paul had purchased the home for that same figure in 2012, although he did renovate the house substantially.
The home’s exterior features include that melding of Mediterranean and Caribbean influences which figures heavily in residential architecture in Florida, and the blend of terra-cotta roof tiles and soft, washed-out yellow paint makes for a vivid impression. It’s a sprawling property, with the house, guest house, covered outdoor kitchen and cobblestoned courtyard taking up a good chunk of the one acre lot.
Measuring a little more than 5,400 square feet, the home interiors are generally floored in marble, a cooling influence in the hot climate, although plank hardwood was used for bedroom and some living area flooring. The front entrance opens onto the common living area, a very open space designed for entertaining; the room features a concept ceiling and a wet bar, as well as clerestory windows, a trio of ornate chandeliers in varying designs, and a glass door opening onto the pool.
The home’s kitchen features granite, hidden appliances, and a pair of wine coolers. The home also contains an office, a sauna, and a large master suite with a 400 square foot bedroom.
The property exterior features a large pool, a covered second-floor patio, and the detached guest house, which contains a pair of bedrooms, and a full kitchen.
Pierre-Paul sustained a nearly career-ending injury to his hand in the summer of 2015. The gifted defensive end recovered, adapted, and is as valuable now to the Giants as he ever has been; he recently signed another contract with the team, this time for $62 million, of which $40 million is guaranteed.
