Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt has slashed the price of his Houston home. It’s now available for just under $5 million.
The three-time Defensive Player of the Year with the Houston Texans initially tossed his trophy home on the market in October 2021 for $5.7 million.
But with no buyer in sight, the All-Pro has dropped the price by 12% and brought the asking price to a buck under $5 million.
Watt, whose given name is Justin James Watt, picked up the mansion for an undisclosed amount in February 2016. Before he bought it, the luxe home had been listed for $4.55 million.
At 7,706 square feet, the five-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom residence boasts designer interiors, stone-tile floors, and high ceilings with walls of windows.
Highlights include a formal dining room with a wine room, a living room that opens out to the pool, an eat-in kitchen, and a family room with a bar.
Located on the main floor, the owner’s suite offers an en suite spa bathroom, walk-in closets, and sitting room.
