Former Astros star Yuli Gurriel's $1,590,000 vintage ranch-style Houston mansion sees $100,000 price drop
Free agent Yuli Gurriel is from Cuba and plays first base in the MLB, most recently with the Miami Marlins. He has been playing in the American League since joining the Houston Astros in 2016 and has amassed a net worth of $5 million.
Gurriel is seeking buyers for his $1,590,000 real estate property in Houston and recently cut the price of his home by $100,000 in hopes of attracting a potential buyer. The listing agent is his wife, Lianet Barrera Fabregas of First Service Realty ERA.
Gurriel's ranch-style home, built in the 1950s, has a large front lawn and a big backyard. The interior of the house was renovated in 2021 and features a big living room with a two-sided fireplace.
The abode houses a lavish dining room and a luxurious kitchen with ample counter space. It also boasts new, double-paned windows, a game room with smart built-ins and big bedrooms, including a fourth that's isolated and would make an ideal guest suite.
Outside, there's a heated pool and a sprawling patio, ideal for entertaining a large group. Here is an inside look at Gurriel's estate:
