In early February of this year, retired MLB catcher Russell Martin listed his desert modern in Scottsdale for $2.995 million. The property’s appeal attracted a buyer quickly; the home is currently listed in contingent status.
The 4,671 sq. ft. residence sits on a .98-acre lot in Northfield Estates, and is situated a few blocks west of the Canal. In keeping with the architectural style, the home features a massive corner glass wall that opens to merge a huge section of the indoor living area with the patio. The outdoor living area boasts a unique design: a pool on the near side of a poured concrete divider wall, a large fire-feature lounge on the far side, and a spa with a water feature between.
Interior amenities include a wet bar, a modern kitchen with floor-to-ceiling hardwood cabinetry, and a master with a glass wall; the home’s shared living spaces are enhanced by plank accents. A batting cage and a basketball half-court round out the outdoor living style.
The four-time MLB All-Star picked up the house in the spring of 2010.
