Today we're talking about a former NFL Super Bowl MVP selling his Houston-area home...
If you read one thing: Former NFL player and Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward is selling his modern Houston-area home for $2.1 million.
Why is he selling his home?
Ward, who played his entire career for the Pittsburgh Steelers, from 1998 to 2011, recently listed his family's 5,577-square-foot home in Cypress, according to Nan and Co. Properties, which has the listing.
A four-time NFL Pro Bowl wide receiver, Ward was head coach of the San Antonio Brahmas for the 2023 season, before the XFL team joined the UFL. Once a candidate for the Houston Texans head coaching job, Ward was recently hired as Arizona State University's next wide receivers coach.
What are the homes features?
Beyond Town Lake's trails and lakeside activities, Ward's home offers a pool, whirlpool tub, a summer kitchen and a professional grade putting green on a third of an acre. The floor plan features 5 bedrooms, 5 full and one half-bath, plus a home office and a kitchen with gold-toned fixtures.
