A piece of astonishing news has been in the headlines recently. The news is related to the five times World Champion and Hall of Famer Derek Jeter. The shortstop built this house in 2011. Then lived in this mansion with his family before moving to South Florida for good. The Davis Islands’ mansion has also earned the title of ‘Tampa Bay’s most expensive home.’
Not only this, but the mansion also became a local landmark when the NFL star Tom Brady rented it before his first season with the Buccaneers. Therefore, watching the beautiful house go to rubble is not going to be easy for the people living around it. And also for those who have come to the Davis Islands just to see the beautiful mansion where both the legends once lived.
