Cleveland Indians Pitcher Carlos Carrasco Lists Florida Home
Cleveland Indians Pitcher Carlos Carrasco's Florida home is up for sale.
The Venezuelan baseball pitcher's Tarpon Springs home is on the market for $479,900, according to Realtor.com. It was reported that the 28-year-old baseball athlete purchased the property for $290,000, four years ago.
Based on the property listing, Carrasco's home is "located just 1 block from A-Rated Brooker Creek Elementary." The two-story house includes six bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, two car-garage and "generous living space and stylish finishes."
Although it was built in 1996, it was renovated in 2002. Upgrades done in the kitchen show a final contemporary and gourmet cooking station that displays trendy granite counter tops and high-end stainless steel appliances. Aside from that, the residence also boasts marble and wooden flooring, as part of its recent makeover. Some areas are lined with carpet, though, for comfort and style. Other upgrades include a new roof, home airconditioning and high impact windows.
New owners can easily relax in the master bedroom on the first level. It is equipped with a walk-in closet and a huge master bathroom that comes with an additional sitting area. They will also find fun outdoors with the home's playground, a swimming pool and a ready-kitchen to cook for visitors.
Aside from the main residence, the property also has a separate apartment where guests can stay in.
Interested parties may seek the help of the Carrasco's listing agent, Maria Azuaje of Berkshire Hathaway.
Carrasco's Health Scare
With his contract extension, Carrasco is set to stay in Cleveland for a few more years. He accepted a $22 million, four-year deal with the Indians in April, ESPN reported. The sports site noted that the pitcher is set to receive about $2.3 million this year, $4.5 million next year, $6.5 million in 2017 and $8 million in 2018. The Indians have the option of paying him $9 million in 2019 and $9.5 million in 2020 but if they cut him, Carrasco would get $662,500 as buyout.
Yet, his agents and some players think he is worth much more. Apparently, Carrasco took the deal because he was concerned about his health, noted Fox Sports. The pitcher had to undergo a seven-hour long non-invasive medical procedure at the Cleveland Clinic in October to treat his palpitations. He's also deeply concerned that his elbow injury might recur.
With a wife and four children to provide for, Carrasco is surely focused on being financially stable for them.
