Check out this Buckhead estate!
It's the former home of Atlanta Braves pitcher Derek Lowe.
Many athletes live in monster mansions on the outskirts of town, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. That was not the case for former Atlanta Brave pitcher Derek Lowe. Lowe's place did have plenty of privacy, but it was in the heart of Buckhead on Peachtree Battle.
Lowe was traded to Cleveland, and after the trade, listed the house for sale.
Bonneau Ansley III was the listing agent.
It was listed at $3,495,000 in 2012.
Derek Lowe's former Atlanta home This gated estate features five bedrooms, five full baths, two half baths, a heated saltwater pool and cabana. It's about 7,700 square feet and architect Stan Dixon won a Philip Schutze award for its classical architecture.
Derek Lowe's former Atlanta home According to Zillow, the home was sold in 2012 for $2.8 million.

For sale: Derek Lowe's $3.5 million Buckhead estate
"When the Braves decided to pick up Derek Lowe, he only had a couple months before the 2009 season," Ansley told Nelson's News on wsbtv.com. "So, he went out and started looking at houses and found this house, which was under construction. It was probably 75 percent done and they kind of took the remaining 25 percent of the home and made it their own."
Bill Lowe Gallery provided much of the art in the home in this slideshow. Check out the gallery on the Web at http://www.lowegallery.com/
Some of these photos are by award winning photographer Mia McCorkle. Check out Mia's work on the Web at www.jtmphotoatlanta.com.

And while the Lowe spent the majority of his time trying to light up batters, evidently, he spent a little bit of time lighting up the dance floor, too. "One unusual place in the home is the garage," Ansley said. "It is your standard two-car garage, but it can double as a disco room. It's got a disco ball, circa 1920 from France. You can open up the garage to the pool and (it) serves as a late-night party area." Who knew Lowe was a disco man?
"The terrace level is fantastic," Ansley noted. "It's a great place to watch a ballgame or multiple ballgames with the numerous televisions. It's got a cigar room with its own ventilation system."
This $3.5 million gated estate features five bedrooms, five full baths, two half baths, a heated saltwater pool and cabana. It's about 7,700 square feet and architect Stan Dixon won a Philip Schutze award for its classical architecture.
Here are some more photos from former Atlanta Brave Derek Lowe's home. It's for sale by Bonneau Ansley III at Harry Norman and is currently listed at $3,495,000.
This house belonged to a former Atlanta Braves star.
Villa de Furcal can be found within the confines of La Cañada Flintridge, CA, a small, affluent golf community just north of Los Angeles. The contemporary three-story home was originally constructed in 2000 and consists of six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, with a spacious floor plan of more than 7,400-square-feet.
Speedy shortstop Rafael Furcal once owned it.
After signing with the Atlanta Braves as an undrafted free agent in 1996, Furcal would make his big league debut in 2000, jumping from A-ball to the majors as an injury replacement for shortstop Walt Weiss. Furcal would go on to enjoy a remarkable rookie season, hitting .295 and swiping 40 bases en route to winning the NL Rookie of the Year Award. A two-time All-Star and one of just 15 players in baseball’s modern era to complete an unassisted triple play, Furcal has batted .282 with 302 stolen bases and 990 runs over the course of twelve seasons with the Braves, Dodgers and Cardinals.
Rafael Furcal moved on to the St. Louis Cardinals after his time in Los Angeles. He listed the Mediterranean-styled home for $3.8 million.
The entrance of the home boasts a two-story entrance, with a curved grand staircase and travertine floors, while the both living room and formal dining area are lined with French doors that open to a rear loggia that overlooks a pool, spa and running waterfall. Head down to Furcal’s basement and one will find amenities befitting a big league player, including a media room, game room, private sauna, wine cellar and an extra bonus suite.
According to the Los Angeles Times, he sold the home for $3.1 million in 2012 after purchasing it for $4.24 million in 2007.
Here are some more photos of Rafael Furcal's former home.
