Alexander Ovechkin who is best known as the superstar hockey player for the Washington Capitals in the NHL has snagged some pretty luxurious real estate in McLean, Virginia while renting out his former home in Arlington, Virginia. Shortly after signing his 13 years 124 million dollar contract in 2008, Alex decided to splurge by purchasing a 4.2 million dollar mansion that features over 11,000 square feet of space and 6 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms in 2012. Previously he owned a three-story, 5,000 square foot brick home which he now rents out for 7,500 dollars a month. However, Ovechkin was the first owner of a newly built 11,000 square foot brick home and is decked out with all the luxurious amenities you’d expect from the NHL’s top scorer, including more than an acre of land decked out with a mahogany deck and cherry-paneled elevator. Ladies and gents, this is a house tour you do not want to miss! The NHL star and future Hall of Famer have built quite the lucrative living playing hockey, garnering a net worth of 60 million dollars and earns 9 million dollars a season. In addition to making bank with his career earnings, in 2019, Forbes listed Ovechkin as the second most successful Russian athlete only behind UFC superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov. Throughout his career, Ovechkin has been the most commercially successful hockey player, netting $14.5 million in revenue thanks to endorsements with Papa Johns, Nike, Beats, and CCM. When you add that to the 124 million dollars he’s made in career earnings, it’s safe to say Ovi will live pretty comfortably the rest of his life.
Alexander Ovechkin, who is best known as a superstar hockey player for the Washington
Capitals and the NHL, has snagged some pretty luxurious real estate in McLean, Virginia
while renting out his former home in Arlington, Virginia.
Shortly after signing his 13-year, $124 million contract in 2008, Alex decided to smurge by
purchasing a $4.2 million mansion that features over 11,000 square foot of space and six bedrooms
and seven and a half bathrooms in 2012.
Previously, he owned a three-story, 5,000 square foot brick home, which he now rents
out for $7,500 a month.
However, Ovechkin was first owner of newly built 11,000 square foot brick home and is
decked out with all the luxurious amenities you'd expect from the NHL's top scorer, including
more than an acre of land decked out with a mahogany deck and cherry paneled elevator.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a house tour you don't want to miss.
In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses, so please do not show up at any private residences
because it is not safe for anyone.
The NHL star and future Hall of Famer has built quite the lucrative living playing hockey,
garnering a net worth of $60 million and earns $9 million a season.
In addition to making bank with his career earnings in 2019, Forbes listed Ovechkin as
the second most successful Russian athlete, only behind UFC superstar, Khabib.
Throughout his career, Ovechkin has been the most commercially successful hockey player,
netting $14.5 million in revenue.
Thanks to endorsements with Papa John's, Nike, Beats and CCM.
When you add that to the $124 million he's made in career earnings, it's safe to say
Ove will live pretty comfortably for the rest of his life.
I mean, the salary and endorsement deals are well earned as Ovechkin has won the Maurice
Rocket Richard Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL's leading goal scorer, an NHL record
nine times.
In fact, coming into this season, his 706 goals are less than 200 goals shy of the great
one Rain Gretzky.
Is that good?
Famous for his elaborate after goal celebrations and lovable personality, he has become the
most marketable player in the NHL.
As a result of his lucrative career, Ovechkin has been able to spread his real estate throughout
Virginia.
His first purchase was a 5,000 square foot home in Arlington, which he still rents out
to today.
So, if you don't mind forking out nearly $8,000 a month, you can have the three time
MVP as your landlord.
However, his next purchase was a beauty.
Back in 2012, Ove landed an 11,000 square foot home in McLean, Virginia that was brand
spanking new.
While it appears Ove likes to score on the ice, he knows how to in real estate as well.
His first real estate purchase was a 5,000 square foot, 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom, single
family detached house in the Waycroft Woodlawn neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia.
He has since listed the home available for rent for roughly $7,900 per month.
He initially bought the home back in 2005 for a measly $1.5 million.
The three story brick home features a number of luxurious amenities you'd expect out
of an MVP, including a whirlpool tub, a sauna perfect for post game relaxation, some of
the goodies of the dig including a rec room and wet bar for those that fancy a cocktail.
If you know Ovechkin, you know he likes to work hard and play hard.
We're willing to bet Ove threw a couple of those team parties here.
The lavish abode features gleaming hardwood floors on the main level, a massive bedroom
that attaches to a luxurious sitting room and master bathroom.
In addition, the bathroom features an additional whirlpool tub and separate shower.
The home also features a spacious home gym which attaches to an additional sauna for
those post game workouts.
While the interior of the home is pretty impressive, the rear deck leads to a spacious backyard
that comes complete with a barbecue pit.
This is quite the starter home, but it was likely after Ovechkin signed his first big
ticket, him and his wife Anastasia along with their two children would upgrade.
So if Alexander Ovechkin's first house tour intrigues you, then make sure you can fork
out roughly $8,000 a month for the dig and then the three time MVP can be your landlord.
Like most celebrities who we cover in house tours, as they begin to break bank with their
massive career earnings and lucrative endorsements, they begin to spread their real estate seed.
And Alexander Ovechkin is no different.
Ovechkin was the first owner of the newly built 11,000 square foot brick and stucco
home with six bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, which he purchased back in 2012 for $4.2 million.
The home offers the utmost relaxation and tranquility as it is located on a 1.25 acre
property.
The exterior of the home features a large and circular driveway with an abundance of
oversized windows, which spans two stories.
Large columns elegantly center the home and are directly beneath the soaring balcony that
overlooks the grounds.
The front exterior features rolling lawns, carefully manicured grounds, and an abundance
of elegant trees and plants.
Upon arrival, guests lucky enough to visit are greeted to a sophisticated three-story
spiraling staircase, which is decorated by an elegant chandelier.
And hey, if you don't feel like taking the stairs, the home features its very own cherry
panel elevator.
If you look straight ahead, you will find a large homely fireplace, one of three in
fact, that gives the entrance an extra dash of glamour.
Steps away from the entrance is Ove's kitchen that features modern stainless steel appliances,
marble countertops, and two islands perfectly centered in the room.
In addition, the kitchen features an abundance of top-notch cabinets and a charming breakfast
table that boasts terrific countryside views with direct access to the backyard.
Perhaps not known for being a bookworm, the Lavish Abode features its own library that
comes complete with custom mahogany bookcases, oversized windows, which boast spectacular
backyard views, and Victorian lamps soaring from the ceiling.
The den features an abundance of space, decked out with elegant hardwood flooring, an abundance
of natural light from the windows, and a cozy fireplace.
The Lavish Abode features a first floor, a massive balcony which overlooks the front
yard and is decked out with an abundance of lavish furnishings perfect for relaxation.
Probably one of the more spacious rooms in this house is the Recreation Room that features
a cobblestone fireplace, oversized windows, sliding glass door which gives access to the
backyard, and large columns which lead to the dazzling, spiraling staircase.
The dining room, which is steps from the MVP kitchen, features yet another soaring chandelier
and trio of oversized windows that give the room bright life in an airy and roomy ambiance.
The first floor hallway, which gracefully connects the kitchen, dining, and living room
spaces, features stunning archways into every room, the spiraling staircase which leads
to the chandelier, abundance of windows, and common area which is steps away from the master
bedroom and bathroom.
The bathroom features a large soaking tub that boasts views overlooking the backyard,
elegant tiling, and marble countertops, a large stand in shower, and is made complete
with Victorian lamps.
The back of the house features yet another deck, completely made of mahogany wood, massive
terrace, and ample space that comes complete with a playground.
It appears this house is more of a family home than anything else.
Alright, so I think I'll bring this house tour to an end here.
We got to take a quick look at Ovechkin's luxurious mansion.
That large, spiraling staircase, massive mahogany deck, and a cherry-paneled elevator.
I need an elevator in my house.
That's maximum laziness.
After seeing that fancy little house he snagged, what did you guys think?
Was it everything you would expect out of Ovi?
Personally, I'm a huge fan of the mahogany deck and master bathroom with soaking tub.
Ah, great after that long day.
Those Virginia countryside views are also a thing of beauty.
