Detroit Lions defensive tackle Haloti Ngata is unloading his Maryland home.

The 31-year-old NFL athlete is selling his dwelling place located in Finksburg for $849,000, reported Realtor.com. The five-time Pro Bowl player stayed in the Maryland house when he was still a member of the Baltimore Ravens.

The 6,461 square-foot home includes five bedrooms and is sitting on almost one and a half acres of land. The listing describes the three-story property built in 2007 as a "prestigious home sited on magnificent lot with commanding view." It has four and a half bathrooms, a two-story foyer, a family room , a home theater, a living room, a dining room, a fully-finished basement and an attic. The Colonial-style abode also comes with a three-car garage.

Perhaps, one of the home's best areas is its updated chef's kitchen that displays several cabinets for storage, a breakfast bar, an island and granite-lined countertops. The master bedroom also offers a comfortable haven for the next owners as it comes with a sitting room, a walk-in closet and a master bathroom equipped with a separate shower and a soaking tub.

The interior details of the house boast nine-foot-high ceilings, floors lined with wood and some even enhanced further with carpeting, exquisite curtains on Palladian windows, recessed lighting, intricate chandeliers and cozy fireplaces.

Ngata's journey to the Lions' camp

In March, the Ravens traded the two-time All-Pro for fourth and fifth-round draft picks held by the Lions, according to NFL.com.

The Lions needed a defensive man in their team to fill the void that Ndamukong Suh left behind when he signed with the Miami Dolphins.

Lions General Manager Martin Mayhew explained why Ngata's addition is great for the team.

"Draft picks are important. You don't ever want to give them up and we are trying to build this thing through the draft. But to be able to acquire a player like Haloti Ngata, when you look at what we had at defensive tackle at that time, losing our top three guys, or having our top three guys be free agents, and if you'd have told me we could have gotten Haloti Ngata, I'd have been ecstatic to be able to add him to our football team. So I thought it was worth it." Mayhew told the Detroit Free Press and other media members.
