Myles Garrett Sells Ohio Home for $2.15 Million

Myles Garrett, a former star defensive end for the Cleveland Browns, has sold his Ohio home for $2.15 million, securing a buyer within days of listing it for $2.1 million. The sale closed for $50,000 over his original asking price. Garrett made the decision to sell his Cleveland-area residence shortly after being traded to the Los Angeles Rams. This move follows his reported purchase of a $23 million mansion in the same exclusive Los Angeles neighborhood where Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford resides. Property records indicate that an offer was accepted on Garrett's Wadsworth, Ohio, dwelling just a few days after it was listed. Rebecca Donatelli and Natalie Antonelli of The Elli Group at Elite Sotheby's International Realty represented Garrett in the transaction. The 30-year-old athlete originally purchased the Cleveland-area home in November 2018 for $1.3 million. This acquisition occurred just over a year after he was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft by the Browns. Garrett, who hails from Texas, spent his first nine NFL seasons with the Browns, during which he earned the Defensive Player of the Year award twice and became a prominent figure in the Cleveland community. During his tenure with the Browns, Garrett also undertook significant upgrades to his private residence. These enhancements included the addition of a detached four-car garage and a custom walk-in closet featuring a glass display case for showcasing his fashion items. The home, situated on a 2-acre property, spans 4,300 square feet and is accessed via a gated entryway, ensuring a high degree of privacy. The sale of the Ohio property marks a transition for Garrett as he moves to the West Coast to join the Rams, though reports suggest his transition may be complicated by an injury. The exact nature and severity of this injury have not been publicly disclosed, but it could impact his immediate availability or performance with his new team. The sale price of $2.15 million represents a significant return on his initial investment of $1.3 million, reflecting both market appreciation and the value added by his renovations. The involvement of a high-profile real estate group like The Elli Group at Elite Sotheby's International Realty underscores the premium nature of the transaction.
