One of the best hitters of the ‘90s just listed his massive Florida mega-mansion for an eye-popping $27 million. 

Located just outside of Orlando at 5603 Marleon Dr., in Windermere, the Mediterranean-style home was purchased by Major League Baseball center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. in 2004 for $2,575,000, according to property records. 

The 22,108-square-foot house sits on 11 private acres with over 440 feet of water frontage on Cypress Lake, and comes with seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. It also features a theater, a golf simulator, a gym, a wine room and an elevator. Plus, there’s a 10-car garage with two lifts, a basketball court and a pool and spa with a waterslide, and the property comes with a boat ramp to nearby Lake Butler. 

“The Kid’s” house is currently asking $27 million and the listing agent is Llin Lu of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Southwest Orlando office.

The 13-time All-Star played 22 years in the MLB, mostly with the Seattle Mariners, and was a 10-time Gold Glove winner, a seven-time Silver Slugger and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016. Most recently, the 56-year-old has become a credentialed sports photographer at NFL, MLS, and MLB games, as well as the Ryder Cup.
