Former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms is looking to pitch his Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, manse to a new owner. The estate is priced at $5.3 million, and boasts a warm, expansive living style.
The median home price in the Franklin Lakes area is a stout $1.138 million; a relatively substantial ante, and a smallish gene pool of potential buyers. Simms—who paid $1.55 million for the home in 1999—originally listed the grand Colonial-style residence for $8.25 million back in 2017. The significant price reduction will give its current listing a nice luster.
The main seven-bedroom, 9.5-bath home boasts several formal living spaces, including a grand dining room with detailed wallpaper and paneling. Further inside, the expansive country-style kitchen stands out with exposed ceiling beams, a large center island, and a breakfast nook. Tones throughout are warm and invititing.
The spacious estate also includes a guesthouse, several patios, a gym, and a swimming pool. Its 19.5 acres of grounds are forested, and include wide swaths of lawn.
