Hockey living legend Jeremy Roenick could not sell his house in Scottsdale, Arizona so he is trying a different approach: For $30,000 a month, he will be glad to rent out his home.
After sitting idle in listings for over a year, Roenick has decided to put a "for rent" sign on his 10,000-square-foot residence instead and hopes that renters are willing to pay the $30,000 a month price tag attached to it. The mansion sits on 19 acres of land just outside Pinnacle Peak and has its own private baseball field.
In a report published by realtor.com last year, Roenick reportedly fell in love with living in the Arizona desert while he was playing for the Phoenix Coyotes. He stayed there for five years from 1996 to 2001. The NHL great bought the property in 2005 for $3.8 million just after he left Phoenix to play for Philadelphia. He first tried to sell the massive mansion in 2012, setting an asking price of $11.7 million. He then slashed $3 million off the price in 2014 after seeing there were no takers.
The house has seven bedrooms with eight baths and two of them are master suites. There is a swimming pool and spa outside, as well as a mini golf course. There is also a 2,000-square-foot stand-alone guest house complete with its own kitchen and a garage that could fit four cars.
When Roenick was in his prime, he was a crowd favorite wherever he played. He became a journey man in six different NHL teams and according to realtor.com, the All-Star center made over 500 goals in his illustrious career. His most memorable stints came when he played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks. After hanging his jersey in retirement, Roenick became a hockey analyst and accepted a gig as reality show judge.
