On the market over 100 days now, Barry Zito’s home has made news before, first when it listed for $11,495,000 in 2012, then when it dropped $1M in price, and now again, slashed another $720K.
“Villa Della Pace” is actually quite gorgeous, a welcome departure from gaudy, over-the-top celebrity homes we all see too often. The home offers 4 bedrooms, 5.5 baths plus numerous entertainment room options, a pool with outdoor lounge area, plus panoramic views of Phoenix Lake and the hills of Marin County. Outside, find 2.2 acres of private land, embellished with stone terraces, lawns and gardens as well as an outdoor fireplace, cooking area, fountain, spa, and the aforementioned spectacular swimming pool.
Inside details like an extra-large custom stone shower, double sinks, and walk-in closet in the master suite continue the theme of tasteful but certainly “a taste for the good life” luxury.
On top of that, add Zito’s fame. Why aren’t rich Giants fans knocking down doors for the privilege of owning what was once the 2-time World Champ’s home (who incidentally purchased it in 2007 for $8,863,000)?
What do you say, readers? What will it take for Villa Della Pace to sell?
