NFL star Myles Garrett has put his Ohio home on the market for $2.1 million, just a few weeks after it was revealed that he had been traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Los Angeles Rams in what was described as a “landscape-altering” move.
The 30-year-old originally purchased his Cleveland-area home for $1.3 million in November 2018, according to records, just over a year after he was chosen by the Browns as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Garrett, who is originally from Texas, has spent all nine seasons of his NFL career with the Browns, earning the title of Defensive Player of the Year twice during that time—while becoming a local hero in the Cleveland area.
However, the defensive end has also found time to carry out several very impressive upgrades to his private residence, adding an incredibly high-end array of features and amenities, including a detached four-car garage and a custom walk-in closet with a glass display case where he was able to showcase his favorite fashion pieces.
Located on a two-acre spread in Wadsworth, OH, the 4,300-square-foot home—which is listed with Rebecca Donatelli and Natalie Antonelli of The Elli Group at Elite Sotheby’s International Realty—sits behind a gated entryway, ensuring maximum privacy.
“We’re thrilled to introduce this exceptional home to the market,” Donatelli told Realtor.com®.
“With beautifully designed living spaces, incredible areas for entertaining, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout, this home is truly one of a kind.
“It offers an unmatched combination of luxury, comfort, and modern sophistication.”
“Sophisticated design, exceptional craftsmanship, and effortless functionality come together in this custom-built home, privately situated on approximately two acres in the prestigious Hidden Lakes of Sharon,” the listing states.
The five-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home features several distinctive nods to Garrett’s career throughout its interior, with listing images revealing rooms filled with mementos from his nine seasons in the NFL.
One of the two bars in the home has been decorated with several images of the athlete on the field during Browns games, while another wall is home to multiple NFL jerseys, including those of former Minnesota Vikings player Danielle Hunter and former Houston Texans star Dameon Pierce.
But it’s not just NFL memorabilia that Garrett collected during his time living in the spacious property.
Images of the “executive office” showcase the custom cabinetry that has been filled with different collectibles, including movie merchandise, action figures, and what appear to be multiple camera lenses.
There is also a large custom gym in the property filled with top-of-the-line equipment that “can convey with the property, along with some select home furnishings,” the listing notes.
Spread across three levels, the home offers ample space for entertaining, particularly on the lower walkout level, which is home to multiple recreation areas, including the gym, a bar, and a movie theater.
On the main level, residents can kick back in several sun-filled spaces, including the open-plan kitchen, which features a walk-in pantry and a spacious island, designed to accommodate multiple people, in addition to a dining area.
That space opens up into the main living area, which has a wall of windows that open out onto the upper deck of the home.
“Designed for both style and function, the kitchen showcases premium appliances, an oversized center island, custom cabinetry, a spacious walk-in pantry, and seamless flow into the adjoining living and dining areas,” the listing states.
The primary suite also features incredible natural light, as well as an array of very upscale features, including a “spa-inspired bathroom” and the “extraordinary” custom walk-in closet, which has been designed to accommodate even the most impressive fashion collections.
In addition to the five bedrooms already available in the home, there is also “an oversized bonus room” that could be used for further accommodations, or as a game room or office.
Outside, the home is surrounded by lush green landscape and offers ample space to entertain, including at the private fire pit or on the upper deck, which boasts a built-in grill area and plenty of room for sitting and dining.
“Completing the property is a three-car attached garage and a separate four-car garage with a finished upper level, ideal for a private office, studio, or hobby space,” the description adds.
The listing comes just hours after it was reported that Garrett had closed on a new home in Los Angeles—where he is expected to be based for the next few years, having agreed to a restructured five-year contract when he was traded to the Rams.
In return for trading Garrett, the Browns received linebacker Jared Verse from the Rams, as well as a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick.
According to Sportrac, Garrett’s updated deal is worth a total of $208.2 million, and includes a $35.7 million signing bonus and a guarantee of $99 million.
So perhaps it is unsurprising that he appears to have splashed out a bit more on his new dwelling than he did on his last, with In Touch claiming that he has snapped up an extraordinary $23 million mansion in Hidden Hills—where Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford also resides, along with several members of the Kardashian family.
Records show that the home highlighted by the outlet changed hands for that extraordinary sum on July 13, just over a month after Garrett’s trade was confirmed—and just over a week before he listed his Ohio residence.
The newly-built residence, which appears to have only just been completed, was not listed on the MLS prior to its purchase, suggesting that it traded hands in an off-market deal.
Garrett’s move to Los Angeles, which was described by The Athletic as “seismic,” will not only see him joining his second NFL team, it will also bring him closer to his girlfriend, professional snowboarder Chloe Kim, 26, who grew up in California and has been based in LA for several years.
The couple recently made an appearance together at the ESPY Awards, where Kim presented her partner with the award for Best Record-Breaking Performance in honor of Garrett achieving the most sacks in a single season during his final year with the Browns.
During his acceptance speech, Garrett paid tribute to Kim—while voicing his gratitude that she had managed to keep the news of his award hidden from him.
“Thank you, baby, for keeping a secret like that, because you definitely knew,” he began, before going on to thank Kim and his family for being so supportive throughout his career.
“I want to thank my parents, I know it’s not easy, I can get kind of locked in and focused on my sport, and I know we all try to enter our zone as athletes, and sometimes, the people who mean to the most to us take a bit of a backseat for our journeys that we go on throughout the season, so I want to thank them for always loving me and supporting me in their own ways,” he continued.
