Celebrity Real Estate: Dolphins’ Brent Grimes Drops Price on Chic Georgia Home

Big, bold and filled with all things on a grand scale, professional athletes’ homes are the stuff of which dreams are made. Miami Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes’ Atlanta-area house is no exception.

Sited on a half-acre lot on a lovely course, this five-bedroom, six-bathroom house in Duluth, GA, is decidedly swanky. At just about 7,800 square feet, it has enough space to house and entertain the entire roster of an NFL team.

And with its recent price reduction—it was just lowered by $145,000 to $1.25 million—the property is within reach for aspiring ballers.

Filled with gleaming hardwood floors and crowned with intricate architectural details, this house oozes elegance. There are cathedral ceilings, tray ceilings, dramatic crown moldings, catwalks, bead board, wainscoting and more—seemingly no detail has been overlooked or expense spared.

The newly remodeled kitchen is open, airy and jam-packed with stainless Viking appliances: restaurant-grade range hood, side-by-side fridge/freezer and six-burner gas range.

There’s a spacious center island perfect for dishing up party platters or for gathering the team for a cozy breakfast, with an expansive fireplace to make those breakfasts even cozier.

The master suite—cleverly and conveniently located on the main level of the house—has plenty of space to get ready, with his and hers closets, a morning bar and a spa bath.

Out back, beneath a spacious covered porch, there’s an expansive patio overlooking the home’s Pebble-tech pool and spa, as well as wide-open views of the golf course beyond.

If you know anyone who’s game, give listing agent Tracy Haskins a ring; she’ll do all she can to help you score with this property.


Brent Grimes, who roamed the defensive backfield for the Atlanta Falcons from 2006-2012, moved down to the Miami Dolphins in 2013 and is ready to bid adieu to this Georgia home. He is a two-time Pro Bowl performer (2010, 2013).
