Ex-Penguin Phil Kessel puts Pittsburgh-area house on market for $2.1 million
Phil Kessel became a popular player with Pittsburgh Penguins fans over the past four years in large part because of his everyman appeal.
Not just anyone could afford his house.
Now that he’s been traded to the Arizona Coyotes, Kessel has put his Marshall Township home up for sale with an asking price of $2.1 million, according to a listing at realtor.com.
The 8,000 square foot home has five bedrooms, seven-and-a-half baths and a four-car garage on a 3-acre lot.
It has a billiard room, ping pong room, theater with a 120-inch screen, a workout room and climate-controlled wine closet.
Kessel is entering the sixth year of an eight-year deal with an average annual salary of $8 million. He’s made more than $81 million in his career. He was traded to Arizona late last month.
