There’s being a football fan, and then there’s having a football field in your front yard. For the next owner of former New England Patriots player Antonio Gibson’s house, those two things can co-exist.
Gibson, who was released from the Patriots in January, just listed his Foxborough home at 76 Carroll Drive for $1.199 million.
“He’s a really good guy,” said Paul Campano of Keller Williams Realty, who has the listing. “I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of athletes across almost every sport, and he’s one of the best.”
It’s the white-lined football field dominating the front yard that’s most noticeable upon driving up to the 4,200-square-foot colonial, which was built in 1987. The field may not be regulation size, but it’s perfect for practice.
Tucked behind a white fence at the end of a cul-de-sac in a peaceful neighborhood, the four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom house welcomes guests through a foyer with stone flooring. The flooring changes to hardwood in the formal dining room, and on the right, a spacious living room with the same hardwood floor features plenty of windows that let in natural light. Continue down the hall to the kitchen, where there’s hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, green cabinetry, and black granite countertops. A large bay window overlooks the yard.
A family room in the back of the house has a fireplace and large sliders that open to the hardscape patio and fire pit. On the second floor there are four bedrooms, including the spacious primary wing. The primary bathroom features a glass step-in shower and an oversized soaking tub. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and a passageway to a 432-square-foot additional space that could be used as a closet and dressing area. There is an additional full bathroom on this floor.
The finished basement measures around 950 square feet and has luxury vinyl plank floors. It could function as anything from a playroom to a workout space. There’s also a half-bathroom with laundry facilities.
The side driveway, which sits under a mature tree, leads to a two-car garage. The home sits on just over one acre.
