Big Papi is selling his house in Weston (Boston, Newton: for sale, big house)

[redplum33]

Take a look inside David Ortiz’s house in Weston, which could be yours for $6.3 million

If you can't view the Boston Globe article linked above, check out this:

And unrelated to the sale of his house, I stumbled across this video that I thought some of you may enjoy...

Property taxes on that place must be insane considering the average property tax bill in Weston is like $18K.

But I guess if you can afford to buy that place the property taxes shouldn't be much of an inconvenience.

Looks pretty awesome though.

Just looked it up:

$50,989.50 annually.

Holy ****.

Total assessed value is $4,050,000.
FY 2019 tax rate is $12.59 per $1000 assessed for Weston, MA.

Hmmm...I always thought he lives in Newton. Maybe at one time?

So I guess he long ago moved to Weston, maybe even near Bill Bellichick?

Doesn't Jerry Remy live in Weston too?

Weston house is for sale because he has moved to Florida.

Yep.

Tom Brady and Dustin Pedroia are neighbors in Brookline.

And speaking of Pedroia (not that we really were but...), I love this story he told:

Roasted: Ortiz apparently thought Pedroia's real first name was Pee Wee

When he and his wife were separated for a while he was living at the Waterworks in Chestnut Hill near BC. He sold that unit a few years back though when they reconciled. Friends of mine used to always bump into him at the Soul Cycle in Chestnut Hill back then.

Yup! My buddy who grew up in Weston used to be friendly with one of his kids. Not sure if it was the one who murdered people.

Bob Kraft also lives near Brady and so does John Henry.

Joey McIntyre from NKOTB used to have a big house in Brookline not far from there too. I think it was once on an episode of MTV Cribs. Used to love that show.

Assuming it was a guy, it had to be. Jared is his only son.
