Let me cut to the chase: if I had $2 million lying around, I would bid for Patrick Peterson’s house. This house is straight out of MTV Cribs.
This six bedroom/ eight (EIGHT) bath Tuscan villa found in suburban Phoenix is a certified temple built for the sole purpose to worship Perterson. And as someone who is house hunting in Arizona after living the Boston to Washington, D.C. megalopolis, $1.899 million in that state is like $10 million here. It’s a certified bargain.
via the LA Times:
An elaborate wrought iron staircase leads to a finished lower level that has a great room with a 22-foot stone fireplace, a billiards room, a home theater, a wet bar and two additional bedroom suites.
The master suite retreat sports a domed sitting area, a large walk-in closet, a Jacuzzi and a private balcony. A detached guest house offers an additional 1,050 square feet.
Outdoors, the desert grounds center on an expansive patio with a fire pit and barbecue area. A tiered pool and spa with water features and a basketball half court complete the park-like setting.
Peterson House Highlights:
• Cardinals-theme court with Peterson’s initials.
• Dude had a literal desert oasis built in his house. Or we can pretend that he built his house around the oasis.
• It’s not everyday you see a player post his teammates gear up on the walls of his house.
Don’t mistake my enthusiasm for Peterson’s palace as some sort of perverted fandom. It’s mainly out of respect for the sheer hubris it requires to design a house for the sole purpose to remind someone how great he or she is. This is an ego seen more often in rappers, boxers, hedge fund managers, or the Clintons.
Game respect game.
