Dan Campbell, the esteemed leader of the Detroit Lions, and his family have made the decision to place their Oakland County residence on the market, a story broken by Crain’s Detroit Business on Wednesday. The decision to sell stems from concerns related to the security of the residence, necessitating a relocation for the family.
Campbell, earlier in the week, unveiled an asking price of $4.5 million for his resplendent home. The urgency for a more secure environment is reportedly responsible for the family’s decision to move.
Speaking on the property, Campbell expressed, ‘The estate is majestic and spans across two acres. Regrettably, our home became too identifiable after we experienced a loss.’ As such, the remarkable home has come up for sale, despite its spacious charm and resplendent setting.
The said property, a grand 7,800-square foot abode built in 2013, was secured by Campbell only last year?a purchase marked by his appointment as the Lions’ head coach. The property was listed for $3.5 million at the time of purchase.
According to the aforementioned report, Campbell’s residence was set to ‘pending’ just a day after being listed. The potential buyers that have shown interest in claiming the residence are said to be ardent supporters of the Lions.
Dan Campbell added, ‘The relocation was undeniable, despite the affection we have for the house. Our need for more privacy became a factor,’ his words finding their way into journalist Nick Manes’ Wednesday morning article.
Built originally by Hockey Hall of Fame inductee and past Detroit Red Wings center, Igor Larionov, the property features a lavish five-bedroom and seven-bathroom layout. The home on sale is indeed a property with an interesting lineage.
Representing the Campbell family in these real estate dealings is Ashley Crain. Crain is a part of Crain Holmes, a reputable real estate firm based in Birmingham.
