NFL free agent Ray McDonald's home in San Jose, which he listed in January, has been sold for $2.81 million, reported the Los Angeles Times.

The final transaction price was slightly lower than the nearly $2.95 million asking price about seven months ago, the outlet noted, citing listing records. Still, the closing price is almost one million dollars more than what he paid for the house three years ago, which is $1.82 million. The agents who brokered the sale were Robert R. Fernandez of Atlas Realty, his listing agent, and Ellen Ashley of Alain Pinel Realtors who represented the buyer.

The 4,827-square-foot former home of the football player displays a Tudor-inspired style and offers great views of the mountains. The San Jose residence sitting on more than an acre of land features four bedroom and five and a half bathrooms. Other living spaces of the home are a two-story foyer, a formal living room, a kitchen equipped with a center island and a dining room.

There is also a residential office that may also serve as a study room for the current residents.

Indoor entertainment is provided by amenities like the home theater and the recreation room that also serves as the billiards room.

Outdoors, the new owners may enjoy dipping in the custom-made swimming pool equipped with a spa and a water slide There are others features on the grounds of the home, which was built 16 years ago, like a bar, a grotto, a barbecue station, an outdoor living room, and two covered patios.

McDonald's off-field troubles

The 30-year-old football player who delivered three sacks, and eight stuff yards in his 2014 and last season with the 49ers, was signed by the Chicago Bears to supposedly join them in the 2015 season. However, the Bears released McDonald in May right after his arrest over domestic violence and child endangerment charges, NFL.com reported.

The Bears General Manager, Ryan Pace, issued a statement announcing the team's decision to cut McDonald from its roster. "We believe in second chances, but when we signed Ray we were very clear what our expectations were if he was to remain a Bear. He was not able to meet the standard and the decision was made to release him," Pace stated on NFL Media.

A sexual assault incident linked to McDonald in December prompted the San Francisco 49ers to release him, added the sports site.
