Do you remember Bob Howry, the one-time White Sox closer who eventually became a middle reliever and pitched for 13 seasons and amassed $21,655,000 in earnings? The guy left the game in 2010 and I hadn’t heard his name since until today when BC was tipped off that Bob has listed his insane Peoria, AZ house/piece of art for a cool $2,850,000.
Look, I have no idea how the guy had the funds to pay for the interior designing. He should write a book on finances because this has to be one of the most incredible houses I’ve seen all year. And to think the guy only cleared $21 million makes it all the more remarkable.
According to his realtor:
Situated in what is arguably North Peoria’s most exclusive neighborhood and alongside of an undisturbed natural wash, lies a modern residential masterpiece with the finest of finishes and creatively custom features. Discover a dramatic entry to this expansive 8,771 s/f home where luxury meets contemporary function. Designed with inventive style leaving no detail untouched. The heart of the home is the spacious great room offering striking architectural design and seamless views. The polished kitchen boasts a sleek and meticulous feel with inventive implementation of storage concepts throughout. The outdoor space allows opportunity for sport or mingling amongst the serene settings within the sublimely positioned lot offering up unobstructed views of the surrounding 35 acres of desert beauty.
Or you could look at the photos and know one way or the other if your wife loves the house. More than likely she loves the house.
