- A Tampa-area mansion once owned by Derek Jeter called St. Jetersburg will likely soon be torn down.
- The 21,796-square-foot home, which was once rented to Tom Brady, was sold in 2021 for $22.5 million.
A Tampa-area mansion once owned by Derek Jeter called St. Jetersburg was expected to be torn down.
As of late 2022, the residential demolition permit application was "pending electrical and gas sign-off," Dave Jennings, an operations manager at the Tampa city council, told Insider.
Jeter put the 21,796-square-foot home on the market in September 2020, but Tom Brady and his family rented the home while it was for sale. Jeter sold the house in 2021 for $22.5 million.
A 10 Tampa Bay report suggested the purchasers may look to build two or three houses on the lot in the exclusive neighborhood.
Take a tour of the house below.
The New York Yankees legend's former estate was originally built for $7.7 million and sold a decade later for $22.5 million.
