A penthouse duplex in Aventura, Florida that was once owned by retired MLB star Sammy Sosa is on the market for $5.99 million.
The splashy 9,100-square-foot home at 2600 Island Blvd. comes with the sweetest perk of all: a private rooftop pool.
In December, Sosa — a “fan favorite” — reconciled with the Chicago Cubs after 17 years following the seven-time All-Star’s apology. It’s the closest the former National League MVP has ever come to admitting he took performance-enhancing drugs, saying he “did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games.”
Sosa added that he “never broke any laws, but in hindsight I made mistakes and I apologize,” ESPN reported.
The penthouse is at Residence du Cap on exclusive William Island. The massive six-bedroom, 8½-bathoom home comes with an impressive 3,183 square feet of outdoor space.
Marketing images show massive windows that look out to the ocean, plenty of room to fit plush sitting areas in front of those view-heavy exposures, as well as massive closets and spa-like bath retreats.
There’s also a great room with 14-foot ceilings, a living room, a library and a chef’s kitchen.
Design details additionally include a glass hydraulic lift connecting both levels. The rooftop space, beyond the pool, also has an outdoor kitchen and stunning views. The listing broker is Chad Carroll of Compass.
