- A mansion in the Tampa, Florida area, called "St. Jetersburg," will likely soon be torn down.
- New York Yankees icon Derek Jeter owned the 21,796-square-foot home he built in 2011 for $7.7 million. He sold it in 2021 for $22.5 million after listing it for $29.0 million.
- The house has eight bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a pool and spa area, a home movie theater, a clubroom with pool and games tables as well as a full-service bar, and much more, according to the listing on Realtor.com.
- Derek Jeter once rented the property to Tom Brady and his family after he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- According to 10 Tampa Bay, the family that purchased the house has applied to have it torn down and may be looking to build two or three houses on the large lot.
The New York Yankees legend's former massive estate was originally built for $7.7 million and sold a decade later for $22.5 million.
