Remember how Jon Lester pretty much told the A’s he’d work a couple months for them and then go back to the Red Sox next year where he has a house and is pretty comfortable? Well, Lester just listed his 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath house on a half-acre in Newton, Mass. for $1,850,000. Ooops.
And the Lester family is moving fast on this sale. The first open house is being held this Sunday from 11-2 p.m.
According to the listing agent:
Come see this Amazing immaculate Colonial on a large, PRIVATE lot located directly on the Charles River!! Over a 1/2 ACRE level lot with an amazing Family home. This wide open floor plan with lots of outdoor space is ideal for any family. Recent renovations completed the basement with an additional 5th bedroom, living room, wine cellar and large workshop/storage. Original developer’s private residence so this home has it all!! Beautiful Master Suite, large guest rooms, upstairs laundry, outdoor shower, private dock, HUGE custom fenced in backyard, electric awnings, heated garage, outdoor dining space, and more!! 4 Main Bedrooms upstairs including a large guest suite over the garage PLUS a bedroom, full bath, and additional living space in Basement.
This is where things get interesting: The Lesters would consider selling the house furnished and would event throw in the playground set. That sure doesn’t sound like someone who plans to move to a bigger house in the neighborhood.
Highlights of Lester’s Colonial:
• Looks like you have room for a tee ball field in the backyard
• Outdoor shower for some odd reason, but it sounds like fun
• Nearest KFC is just 5.3 miles
• Whole Foods is just 2 miles
