Seattle Mariners' third baseman Kyle Seager acquires a sprawling estate in North Carolina.

Seager, the 28-year-old baseball player, buys a Salisbury spread for $4 million, Realtor.com announced.The MLB All-Star athlete's new home is described by its listing on Realtor.com as "an inspiring and truly unique waterfront estate," which is "reminiscent of a 17th-century French manor." The said estate is ideal for an "equestrian or gentleman's farm" with the grounds measuring 92 acres of North Carolina lot.

The 5,338-square-foot abode, resting on the extensive lot, features five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two half baths. Other living areas include a great room, living room, kitchen and laundry.

Notable interior details of the two-storey property, built in the late 1990s, show great indoor-outdoor living experience courtesy of large windows, an open floor plan, recessed lighting, wrought iron accents, exquisite chandeliers and a fireplace. The single family home with a French provincial theme also displays wall-to-wall carpet furnishing, floors lined with either wood or ceramic tiles and insulated windows.

The Mariners' star player, who is a native of Charlotte, will also not have a hard time shopping for kitchen appliances as some are already provided like a dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and an icemaker. The cooking station also comes with a breakfast nook that may also double as a working area.

Outdoors, the grounds showcase an auto shop, barn, a three-car parking space, storage shed, fenced pasture, floating dock, porch and swimming pool. The home also boasts relaxing views of the lake.

This new home will be a nice venue for catch and throw practices for Seagers' siblings, who are also baseball athletes themselves.

A baseball enthusiast from the start

Seager's mother, a gym teacher, shares on MLB.com that baseball is really a big pat of their life. Jody is also the doting mom to Los Angeles Dodgers' Corey and UNC-Charlotte's Justin.

"When they were growing up, it was baseball 24/7," Jody said.

"When the boys were born, you took 'em outside and got a ball and bat and ran around the yard. That's all we've ever done. Let's put it this way, they have broken a lot of my figurines in the front room with either a baseball or basketball," Jody shared.

Now, Kyle enjoys the financial benefit of loving the game and excelling in it. In December, he signed a seven-year contract extension worth $100 million with the team who welcomed him in 2009, ESPN reported.
