The Madison native is selling the home for more than three times what he bought it for in 1994.
New Jersey native and journeyman NFL quarterback Neil O’Donnell put his Harding Township home on the market this week for $ 3.7 million — more than three times what he bought it for in 1994, according to the home’s Trulia listing.
The French Normandy-style home, which is located on more than three acres of land and has five bedrooms and six bathrooms, boasts “superb architectural design with exquisite finishes” that highlights the home’s “intricate moldings,” tigerwood hardwood floors, and front and rear staircases, according to the listing.
The home’s gourmet kitchen has a center island and a second island that has a breakfast bar, as well as a “stunning breakfast room.” The home also features a luxurious master suite and a library with custom-mahogany cabinetry.
New Jersey native and former Jets quarterback Neil O’Donnell is selling his Harding Township home for $ 3.7 million. O’Donnell played for the Jets during the 1996 and 1997 seasons. (Chris Faytok)On the private three acres, there is a heated pool, a stone patio with a fire pit and a putting green. The square footage of the home is not provided in its listing.
O’Donnell bought the home for just over $ 1 million in 1994. Property taxes for the home were $ 29,031 in 2017, according to property records.
Too bad the next buyer can’t bank on the O’Donnell jerseys that hang throughout the weight room or the signed footballs enshrined in the office to come with the purchase.
O’Donnell graduated from Madison High School before playing in the NFL for 14 years, made a Pro Bowl appearance in 1992, and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 1990 draft after a successful college career at the University of Maryland.
He would go on to also play for the New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee Titans before retiring in 2003.
Jets fan surely remember when O’Donnell came to town after he signed a five-year, $ 25 million contract in 1996, in which he went 8-12 in 20 games as a starter and suffered through some brutal injuries before being cut before the 1998 season. ESPN ranked it is as the 24th worst contract in NFL history.
O’Donnell made more than $ 30 million in his NFL career, according to Sportac.
