J.R. Sweezy, a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer offensive lineman and Super Bowl champ with the Seattle Seahawks, is looking to sell his Sunset Park home.
Located at 5013 W Leona St., the estate was built in 2002, and purchased by Sweezy and his partner Gissell for $1,169,000 in April of 2016, about a month after he signed a five-year deal worth $32.5 million with the Bucs.
The newly-remodeled 5,161-square-foot home is available fully furnished, says the listing, and comes with a total of five bedrooms and four bathrooms, as well as a wine cooler, a wet bar, an outdoor entertainment area with a grill and a kegerator, a steam shower, a gym, a pool, and more.
Sweezy was drafted 225th overall out of N.C. State in the 2012 NFL draft by the Seattle Seahawks. Over the course of his 11-year NFL career he earned a Super Bowl ring with the Seahawks in 2013, and also played for the Arizona Cardinals, the New Orleans Saints, and was on the Bucs roster in both the 2016 and 2017 seasons.
The Sweezy house is currently asking $2,699,999, and the listing agent is Brooke Brate, spouse of former Bucs TE Cameron Brate, with Smith & Associates.
