Carlos Lee, the now-retired baseball slugger who played for 14 years in the MLB, has reportedly sold his home in Sugar Land, Texas, for $1.56 million.
Property records show that Lee bought the home in March 2007, just about three months after he signed a six-year $100 million contract with the Houston Astros. After the contract expired, Lee was traded to the Miami Marlins in 2012, a year after which he announced his retirement.
Lee announced his retirement in a Panamanian sports radio show saying that he has received offers from four teams in the 2013 off-season but he wanted a two-year contract, which none of the teams were offering. Therefore, he decided to retire, according MLB.com.
Lee listed the home in September for $1.9 million and hired Cindy Burns of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty to market the property.
The residence is a 9,117-square-foot single-family house, comprising of five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
Interiors of the residence boast of hardwood flooring, vaulted ceilings, large glass windows and arched hallways.
The entrance opens into a grand foyer that has a wrought-iron railing staircase leading to the upper level. The lower floor has the formal living room, dining area and the master suite as well.
The home also has a den, a family room, a media room, a library and a game room upstairs. A modern kitchen with granite counter-tops and a center island is one of the luxury amenities.
Outside, the residence has a pool with slides and a Jacuzzi spa. A manicured lawn is sprawled in front of the house. There is a basketball court and a three-car parking garage as well.

Lee started his Major League career with the Chicago Red Sox and went on to play for four other teams that include the Houston Astros and Miami Marlins. He made more than $130 million in salary during his career in the MLB. He has 17 career grand slams and ranks seventh in MLB history.
