rickey-hendersonAfter more than 300 days on the market, two listing agents, and a once-lofty price tag of $2.5 million, buyers are still hesitating to take a swing at this Ahwatukee gem. The sprawling 7,859-square-foot estate, nestled in the prestigious Ahwatukee Custom Estates neighborhood, now carries a reduced list price of $1,995,000.

Built in 1991, the home exudes a Santa Barbara-inspired Tuscan charm but reflects its era in design. While some may see it as slightly dated, others might call it a blank canvas. It boasts five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a resort-style backyard, a sport court, a sparkling lap pool with a separate spa area, and a spa-like private master bathroom. Additional luxuries include a workout room, a steam room, and a six-car garage—features that would seem to scream “dream home.”

Situated on 1.52 acres backing up to the preserve, the estate offers unparalleled mountain views. Its location in the foothills of Ahwatukee makes it a prime choice for those seeking privacy, luxury, and proximity to nature.

Yet, the question remains: will the reduced price finally entice buyers to step up to the plate?

Part of the allure of this home isn’t just its amenities or location—it’s the pedigree. Baseball legend Rickey Henderson, renowned for his speed and swagger on the field, once called this estate home. For fans of America’s pastime, owning a slice of sports history might just be the added value they’re looking for.

With the holiday season approaching, the timing may be ripe for negotiations. Will buyers see the potential in this home and its $1,995,000 price tag? Time will tell. But for now, it’s a waiting game in one of Phoenix’s most exclusive neighborhoods.

If you’re in the market for a luxury estate with a story, don’t hesitate to schedule a tour. It’s not every day you have the chance to live like a legend—and maybe even negotiate like one.
