Inside Cardinals star Paul Goldschmidt's former $2,540,000 Scottsdale mansion that he lived in before his move to Florida
St. Louis Cardinals' first baseman, Paul Goldschmidt, previously owned a mansion in Scottsdale, Arizona. The 4x Golden Glove winner and his wife Amy bought this place in 2013 and paid around $1,780,000 when he played for the Diamondbacks.
However, just after moving to the Cardinals in 2020, Goldschmidt sold the place in 2020 for around $2,540,000. The property is spread across an area of 5,775 square feet.
The mansion is fitted with luxurious amenities. It comprises five bedrooms, five full and one-half bathrooms, a family room and a game room. It has white oak flooring, marble counters, and decorative tiles.
The master suite has a private balcony, a master bathroom with a stand-alone tub, dual sinks, and a separate vanity.
The game room allows one to watch TV, enjoy pool, or shuffleboard. It also has a backyard that includes a pool, a spa, and a space lounge along with a synthetic grass lawn.
After selling this place, the former Diamondbacks star bought a 7-bedroom mansion in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, for $5,500,000. It is spread across a 10,418 square feet area.
