Live Like A NFL Quarterback For Under $5 Million

WOW House: Take a peek inside former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Vinny Testaverde's Odessa home.

ODESSA, FL — Tampa Bay area house hunters with a passion for sports and the finer things in life have an opportunity to live like a NFL quarterback. Former Buccaneers quarterback Vinny Testaverde and his wife, Mitzi, have put their Odessa estate on the market for a buck shy of $5 million.

The palatial Lake Keystone home spans more than 12,000 square feet and boasts seven bedrooms. Not surprisingly, it was built with an active lifestyle in mind. The home has its own gym, sauna, game room, putting green, and basketball and tennis courts. It also sits along the banks of Lake Keystone and has a “virtual golf room” inside.

Testaverde, 53, was drafted by the Bucs in 1987 and played with the team until the end of the 1992 season. The former Heisman Trophy-winner from the University of Miami went on to play for such teams as the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers before retiring at the end of the 2007 season.
