You're saying he's not going back to NJ?!

Seriously though, that place is massive

Only $45,000 a year in property taxes.

That's a great deal for NJ - must've paid somebody off.

New Jersey bought him a house in the hills for not even playing for them

 

[Sorry]

That’s a pretty nice stateside landing pad for the wife and kids.

Living in NJ, I completely concur .

Weird that he's been gone for years and the house is just sitting there?

Does that home feel way to big for anyone else? I mean even if i was that rich i wouldnt want a house that big. It has no homey feel.

Amen brother. My missus wants to buy a house and I dread the thought of anything bigger than a 3 bedroom. Of course, we also don't want children. But big houses just feel lonely to me.

i wish there were more pictures. looks great.

i feel the same way, anything that looks like it could be the Resident Evil mansion is too much for me

always seems like they eventually move out and downsize anyways, it's just too much home for anybody and i'm surprised it's only worth 18 million

Came here to post this. No matter how much money I had I’d never want that kind of house. 2 acres of land though sign me up anyday.

Unless he planned to stay and have lots of kids, or build and flip it, I have no idea why you would blow that much on a house (Even if it was just a flip). Lotta money to tie up in real estate. Unless you have at least 100 million

I want to see if a Cup contender rolls the dice on him as a possible playoff puzzle piece

Yeah, was he really that rich by when he was traded to NJ? Weird. I mean, of course he had a lot of money but I didn't imagine being that much. House looks expensive AF.

Shit. I was going to buy this but I just bougtht Mario Lemieux's house in Tremblant.

I'll have to wait until my next pay to get this one....

I saw an article recently that the most expensive home in NJ has an annual property tax bill of $444,000. Insane

I've been in a couple houses this size and one much, much larger. You're right, they don't feel homey at all. They are cold, ridged show homes.

Zillow link please

I may be in the minority here but I feel it depends on how you setup the home. If it's just different rooms with places to sit, then that is just meaningful for parties and nothing else.

However, if done right, you get a different experience in different rooms.

Home theater room, arcade room, pool table room, indoor swimming pool, sports room (aka team focused), exercise room, indoor gym, library, office, kids play room (for all their stuff), etc. Not to mention multiple garages for fancy cars. They all go towards sq/ft.

Also depends on how many kids you have. Kovy has 4 kids, so a 6-7 bedroom isn't really that off (aka 5 for the family, and 1-2 for guests).

Have you ever seen Kim and Kanye's house? Money doesn't buy good taste and it definitely doesn't make someone act rationally with home purchases.

18M to live in New Jersey? hm hard pass

His wife has a lot of money too, she’s a singer

Edit: I don’t know if she’s any good, that’s just what the article says. She looks more like an Instagram model based on my...research
