Nick Buoniconti in Coral Gables, Estate of the Day
It's football season and today we are looking at the rather fancy home of one of the greats of the game. Nick Buoniconti is a member of the NFL Hall of Fame and was a legendary linebacker playing for both the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins as well as Notre Dame. He is also a former host for HBO's "Inside the NFL" and is part of the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, a group he joined after his son suffered a paralyzing spinal cord injury in a football game.Buoniconti and his wife Lynn bought today's home in Coral Gables, Florida back in 2005 for $1.98 million. They renovated the home planning to move their from their home at the Grand Bay Residences in Key Biscayne, Florida but as they told the Wall Street Journal, they decided they couldn't leave the water. The Coral Gables home has views of the 16th green of the Riviera Country Club golf course. The home features inlaid parquet floors in a cross hatch pattern, wood-burning fireplace, grand salon, formal dining room, library/sitting room, a gourmey kitchen with an adjacent prep kitchen and butler's pantry and a master bedroom with a sitting area. The grounds includes a plunge swimming pool and guest house. It has had a recent price reduction to $3.475 million and is listed with Audrey Ross of EWM Realtors.
