Retired baseball star Johnny Damon <\/strong>is ready to let go of his lakefront mansion in Windermere, FL<\/a>. The nine-bedroom, 17-bath home (yes, you read that number correctly) sits on nearly 5 acres in the area\u2019s gated Lake Butler community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Built in 2010, the home is slightly larger than 20,000 square feet and enjoys more than 540 feet of gorgeous water frontage. And Damon is well acquainted with the area: He sold a 5,000-square-foot home<\/a> in Windermere back in 2016.<\/p>\n
