Absolute auction that is! Music to the ears to those who know where the best deals can be found. This is the home where Kurt Warner and his wife, Brenda, lived while he was a quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, his last team before retirement from the game.
Warner seemed to be waylaid in his career by not being given a chance to get on the field. When he was finally put in a game, his magic took over and there was no stopping him. Starting out in the Arena Football League in 1995, it wasn’t until 1998 that Warner was finally signed by an NFL franchise, the St. Louis Rams. They sent him to Europe to the Amsterdam Admirals for seasoning and when he returned to the U.S., he spent the 1998 season as St. Louis’ third-string quarterback. He fast became one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, winning two most-valuable-player awards and leading The Greatest Show on Turf to the 2000 Super Bowl win and a 2002 Super Bowl loss.
From there, Kurt went on to play for the New York Giants and the Arizona Cardinals, leading the Cardinals to their only Super Bowl appearance in 2009. Since 2010 Kurt has been an NFL Network analyst, frequent talk show guest, making reality and sitcom appearances and lasted until the eighth week on Dancing with the Stars.
The Warner house being auctioned is private and gated in the upscale community of Paradise Valley, nestled among other celebrity homes and Phoenix area business leaders and socialites.
At 11,000 square feet, the home has six bedrooms, six baths, a home theater, billiard room, massage room, ping-pong room, in-ground trampoline and 62-foot lap pool with an overhead waterfall. Rooms are spacious and airy, making entertaining either inside or outside a pleasure for almost any size guest list.
Super Bowl quarterback’s mansion was $5 million. Selling absolute – no reserve, on February 27.
