MLB All-Star pitcher throws Texas waterfront villa on market for $5.4 million
Major League Baseball pitcher Huston Street, a former University of Texas Longhorns star, is looking for a new address. The Northwest Austin mansion he owns with his wife, Lacey, is listed with Eric Moreland for $5.4 million.
Built in 2008, the five-bedroom estate — complete with five full bathrooms and three partial bathrooms — sits on 1 acre along Lake Austin. The 10,198-square-foot, Italian villa-inspired home has two indoor fireplaces, a wine room, a media room, outdoor fireplace and kitchen overlooking the pool, and a two-slip boat dock with a covered party deck.
A post on Realtor.com emphasizes the home’s high ceilings; with its many archways and high-end finishes, the interior feels rather grand and formal for a waterfront home.
Although Street is selling the mansion, it appears that he, his wife and their two sons (Ripken and Ryder) will still call Austin home. “I’ve traveled everywhere,” Street told the Austin Business Journallast year, “and Austin is the only city in the world that I really love.”
The 31-year-old Street, a standout pitcher at Westlake High School and UT, made his major league debut in 2005. He now plays for the Los Angeles Angels; previously, he pitched for the Oakland A’s, Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres. The Padres traded Street to the Angels in 2014. He’s set to make $7 million this year.
