David Ortiz is unloading his mansion in the ritzy Pinecrest area of Miami.
The Red Sox legend is asking $12.5 million, which would be a record for the area.
The house includes state-of-the-art tech, a home theatre, a sports bar room, and bi-level bedrooms.

David Ortiz sold his four-year-old Miami-area mansion, and he landed a record price for the area.

The house was exclusively listed by Michael Martinez of One Sotheby’s International Realty.

Ortiz and his wife, Tiffany Ortiz, have filed for divorce, and the pair sold the house because their children are grown, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The house sold for $10.6 million, a record for the Pinecrest area of Miami. The previous high was the $10.5 million paid for a house in 2022 by Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat. 

Take a look at the swanky estate below.

The house, just southwest of downtown Miami in Pinecrest, is about 17 miles from South Beach.

According to Dirt.com, other celebrities with homes in the area include Jeff Bezos, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union (although they recently moved out of the state), Timbaland, and Marc Anthony.

The Pinecrest area is a nice mix of lush greenery and large lots. It’s still close to Miami hot spots.

Ortiz and his wife purchased the one acre of land in 2016 for $1.5 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. The house was completed in 2019. 

The 10,178-square-foot house sits on one acre of land.

The house has five bedrooms, six full baths, and two half-baths.

The contemporary house even has a driveway that looks like a piece of art.

The house has a beautiful open concept with a large living area and the main kitchen in the background.

Another view of the large gathering area shows that whites and greys are the main color palette, but there are some occasional pops of color.

The kitchen looks like a chef’s dream.

The island has a metal countertop. There is also a walk-in pantry with an extra refrigerator. It appears the main fridge is “hidden” behind cabinet-style doors on the right side. 

The table in the breakfast area adjacent to the kitchen has a marble top and a view of the outdoor area.

The primary bedroom has lots of light, chairs that look out onto the property, and a TV that comes down from the ceiling.
