NFL Free Agent Robert Griffin III Throws D.C. Home onto Market for $2.7M

Published: November 25, 2017 | By: American Luxury Staff

NFL veteran Robert Griffin III has relisted his home in Virginia. The quarterback picked up the estate in 2013, at the end of his premier season in the pros, paying $2.5 million. The home measures over 8,500 square feet, and is now priced at a shadow under $2.7 million. Griffin had put the property up for sale in the spring of 2016 with an asking price of $2.75 million, but it languished on the market for nearly a year before being delisted.

The home’s a recent build—dating to 2010—but it pulls off the ye olde farmhouse look very well. The exterior is defined by a potent blend: stone, shingles, shutters, steep roofline, covered porch. The L-shaped home falls away toward fenced pasture demarcated by mature trees, a rolling bit of green that would make a couple of horses very happy.

Inside, though, it’s the house of a young hotshot star, with entertainment and recreation amenities galore: a wet bar and lounge/family room, home theater, wine cellar and elevator may be listed among the dazzle. There’s a lot of antiquing in the home generally, and a good balance of gloss and matte finish. Wainscoting, hardwood and stone floors, marble and hardwood fireplaces, and ornamental moldings all shimmer and shine a flashily engineered version of gentleman rancher. The master suite is the heart of the home, though, featuring a generously proportioned walk-in closet, and a bath centered by a raised, circular soaking tub.

The property extends to three acres. There is a heated pool/spa, and a pool house for outdoor warm-weather recreation.

Griffin, an enormously talented quarterback, took home the Heisman in 2011, and was drafted #2 by the Redskins in 2012. He subsequently played for the Browns, and is now a free agent.
