Babe Ruth's suburban Boston home from 1922-1926 is for sale on the market for $1.65 million, according to reports.
The 5,124-square-foot, five-bedroom, 3½-bathroom home, known as Home Plate Farm in Sudbury, Mass., on a two-acre plot has undergone extensive renovations since the 1920s. Some of the changes include a dream kitchen, a detailed family room and master suite with vaulted ceilings, according to the listing.
"This is a great old antique house," said real estate broker Scott Adamson of Coldwell Banker Residential brokerage, estimating the home dates to about 1800. "It's got a ton of modern features, but I think Babe Ruth would still recognize it even today because it retains many of the original features."
Those features include a 5,000-square-foot barn with stables, office space, garage bays and a one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and bathroom. One room even has burn marks on the floor where Ruth is said to have flicked his cigar ashes.
Ruth, who played for the Boston Red Sox from 1914 to 1919, lived in the home while playing for the New York Yankees from 1920 to 1934.
Adamson told The Associated Press that Ruth's legendary home is "a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of history."
