Did Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen Buy A Home In CT? Reports Say Yes

GREENWICH, CT — Maybe Connecticut's fortunes are really changing as reports are emanating that the greatest NFL player of all time, Tom Brady, and his supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen may have purchased a home in Greenwich, Connecticut.

WEEI radio in Boston was the first to report that the famous couple purchased a home in Connecticut. WEEI radio is the same station that Brady conducts a weekly interview with. Maybe WEEI can ask Brady what he thinks of Gov. Lamont's plan to add tolls to the state?

A celebrity real estate website released details of the reported purchase.

Homesoftherich.net, says "Power couple Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen have just purchased an English Manor style stone mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut." The couple is selling their home in Massachusetts for $39.5 million.

Concerning the couple's new home in Connecticut, Homesoftherich.net reports "The home sits on 10 acres of land and was built in 1990. It features approximately 14,862 square feet of living space with 7 bedrooms, 8 full and 4 half bathrooms, 2-story foyer with staircase, 2-story great room, formal dining room, gourmet kitchen, breakfast room, family room, gym, indoor pool, 3-car garage and more. Outdoor features include a motor court, balcony, patios, gardens, swimming pool and a tennis court."

The Connecticut Post says that the property in question is listed as a pending sale but no official records have yet been filed at Greenwich Town Hall as of late Friday.

Brady's future with the Patriots has been discussed at length recently after news surfaced that he put his home up for sale in Massachusetts. There has been a lot of talk concerning whether Brady may leave the Patriots at the end of the year and look to finish his brilliant career elsewhere, possibly for the Los Angeles Chargers.

But if reports are accurate that Brady is moving to nearby Connecticut that may bode well for Brady finishing his career with the Patriots.

In August, Patch reported that Brady and Bündchen were house hunting in Greenwich, as well Alpine, N.J., while looking at schools in New York City. Brady and Bundchen looked at homes with a lot of room for their kids to play, Fox Business reported in August.

Brady is in his 20th season in the league, all of which have been with the New England Patriots. He is the only NFL player to win six Super Bowls.

The Boston Globe offered this explanation in August as to why Brady and Bundchen may be eyeing homes in Greenwich and in New Jersey. "An elegant suburban mansion would mean more room for the couple’s three growing kids — Jack, Benjamin, and Vivian — and their large extended family."

Some of the numerous famous celebrities who reside in Greenwich include: Mel Gibson, Terry Crews, Glenn Close, Ron Howard, Adam Sandler, and Jack Nicholson.

It's not a surprise that many famous people look to live in Greenwich. Four Greenwich zip codes - in Riverside, Old Greenwich, Greenwich and Cos Cob - are among the nation's top 100 most expensive, according to a report by the online real estate experts at PropertyShark.
