Former NY Yankees pitcher pays $12.7M for Scottsdale home; Outfielder pays $3.6M
A former New York Yankees pitcher and an MLB outfielder bought two of the priciest houses to sell in metro Phoenix in late November.
David Walling, a former New York Yankees pitcher who was a first-round draft pick for the team in 1999, paid cash for an 8,274-square-foot mansion in north Scottdale's Silverleaf community. The Mediterranean-style house with four bedrooms and seven bathrooms is located on almost four acres. Outside, it has a circular driveway, a large resort pool, water features, a cabana and a fire pit. The home also has Crema Marfil marble tile, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, a butler's pantry, multiple ovens, a two-way fireplace, a formal bar, a game room and a primary suite with a sitting area and granite fireplace. Neal and Christine Douglas sold it. He's a venture capitalist. Don and Jenny Matheson with the Matheson Team of RE/MAX Fine Properties had the listing.
Eric and Jessy Beardemphl paid cash for a new 7,586-square-foot Paradise Valley home with five bedrooms and 6 ½ bathrooms. The house has a wine wall, a primary suite with a sitting room, a spa-like bathroom, a theater with a bar, an eight-car garage and an outdoor kitchen. Robyn Davena and Rodney Lincoln sold it.
