A gorgeous home<\/a> where former Boston Red Sox<\/strong> pitcher Derek Lowe<\/strong> once lived is now available for $6.85 million.<\/p>\n

The 11,190-square-foot residence in Fort Myers, FL<\/a>, is where Lowe laid his head during spring training when he starred for the Sox. It was also his off-season abode for a couple of years.<\/p>\n

Lowe\u2019s ex-wife Trinka Lowe<\/strong> is the home\u2019s current owner. The then-couple built the home for their family in 2002, the same year Derek was named an American League All-Star. The couple filed for divorce<\/a> in 2005, after well-publicized marital issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely stunning and luxurious\u2014but it\u2019s also super fun,\u201d says listing agent Jeff Burns<\/strong>, with Premier Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen a home like this, with as many fun little areas in it\u2014from a pool table to a ballet room to a crafting room to a gym that\u2019s bigger than most public gyms\u2014it\u2019s just got everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

The home is also equipped with a basketball and pickleball court, four-hole putting green, cigar room, theater, and resort-style pool.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost homes have a few things here, a few things there\u2014this one has every one of the fun things I can think of,\u201d Burns says, noting that the home theater is his personal favorite. \u201cI can see a family sitting there and watching multiple movies a weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to the couple\u2019s split, they wanted to create a home that would appeal to adults and kids alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call it comfortably luxurious,\u201d Burns says. \u201cThis is a very inviting and welcoming home. It doesn\u2019t feel overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n

The main house has four bedrooms and a guest wing that offers plenty of privacy for overnighters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have guests over, they\u2019re in kind of their own area with its own garage underneath the guesthouse,\u201d Burns explains.<\/p>\n

The home sits on 2.38 acres in the back section of a gated community, just a short drive from the local baseball stadiums and the beach.<\/p>\n

Burns says the dwelling\u2019s lovely exterior makes a high-impact first impression.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has two stone pillars on either side, and it\u2019s just this massive facade\u2014but not overly imposing,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful, and you just say to yourself, \u2018This home is just absolutely stunning. I cannot wait to see what it offers inside.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Lowe won a World Series with the Red Sox in 2004 and played for several teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves. He retired from baseball in 2013.<\/p>\n
