Former NFL Safety Darren Sharper Lists Florida Home Again

Former NFL safety Darren Sharper had an illustrious playing career: He won the Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints to cap off the 2009 season, was named to the All-Pro team six times in his 14-year career and played in five Pro Bowls. Sharper also was a member of the 2000s All-Decade Team.

However, since he last played a game for the Saints in 2010, Sharper’s life has been a little less glamorous. Now, he’s attempting to sell an enormous South Florida home he purchased during his NFL heyday: Sharper is asking for $3.6 million for the house in Aventura, FL, with Dmitry Viner as the listing agent.

According to BlockShopper, Sharper tried to offload the home in 2009 for $3.3 million. He bought the property in 2007 for about $2.9 million.

The three-story Mediterranean house is 6,362 square feet and has four bedrooms, five bathrooms and a half bath. It features arched room entries, marble floors, high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The house is part of the Villa Flora gated community in Williams Island area of Aventura, a northeast suburb of Miami. It’s located on the eastern shore of Little Maule Lake. A dock is available, if you have a boat.

Sharper was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1997, and he spent eight seasons roaming Lambeau Field. Sharper also played four years for the Minnesota Vikings (2005-08) before joining the Saints for his final two years.

Memories of his illustrious NFL career have been dimmed lately by the details of his alleged off-field behavior: Sharper was charged separately in Arizona, California and Louisiana with sexual assault in 2014.
