Indianapolis Colts' Frank Gore Leaving Florida Home
Indianapolis Cots running back Frank Gore is leaving his Florida home.
Gore, a former player for the San Francisco 49ers, is selling his Davies property for nearly $1.7 million, Busted Coverage reported. Citing real estate records, the outlet noted that the Miami-born athlete bought the house in 2008 for $1.72 million, meaning, he is selling the said home now for a slightly lower price.
Its listing on Zillow describes the home as a "custom Mediterranean estate perfect for entertaining." The 6,919-square-foot abode features six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Other living spaces include two balconies, a media room, an entertainment area and a two-car garage.
The nearly one-acre grounds readily offer a tropical retreat with amenities like a "resort-style" swimming pool that comes with a spa, huge covered patio, an outdoor kitchen and a bar. The next owners can easily arrange for a small barbecue pool party with all these features. Yet, what's more comforting for the future occupants and their guests is that they will still have their privacy to enjoy as the gated home is said to be secured.
Staying in the game with the Colts
The 32-year-old player, who entered in 2005 via the 49ers, played for no other team in 10 years, per ESPN stats. In his whole decade in San Francisco, he reportedly posted an impressive total of 11,073 rushing yards and 64 touchdowns, Last 2014 season alone, he was able to deliver posted 1,106 rushing yards and four touchdowns.Yet, even tough Gore was the franchise all-time rushing leader, the 49ers did not intend to continue his run as early as February, SB Nation noted.
It is a good thing that the Colts expressed their interest in the five-time Pro Bowler and granted him a three-year, $12-million deal with $8.5 million to be given in 2015 and 2016, $6.5 million in bonuses and $7.5 million in guaranteed money, ESPN reported, citing Agent Drew Rosenhaus.
Gore is grateful of this opportunity given to him by the Colts and he wants to prove that the 49ers made a big mistake in letting him go.
"When you still love the game, and you go to another team, you don't think about what you've done in the league. You think about what you want to do for that team, for that team that wanted you. You want to make them feel like they were right and want to show the people in the other organization that you were with before that that they were wrong," the five-foot-nine, 217-pound player told USA Today.
