Pelé, one of the world’s most legendary soccer players, just parted ways with the contemporary East Hamptons home he has owned since the 1970s. A native of Brazil, the retired athlete now resides in his home country, which is what led him to sell his waterfront Hamptons pad.The 3,400-square-foot house closed for $2.85 million, and for that amount, a new owner is gaining a deeded beach with a waterside pool plus six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms. The structure is also newly renovated, boasting a double-height great room that encompasses the kitchen, dining room, and living room. It feels even bigger thanks to the soaring wall of windows, which allows for stunning water views and plenty of natural light.Although the house has been updated in many ways, it retains its unique orange exterior, which pops against the property’s lush greenery.This property was in great hands listed with Deirde Jowers of Corcoran, who also worked with Manhattan agent Claudia Saez-Fromm. This sports legend’s home may be off the market, but the sprawling estate where Muhammad Ali lived and trained is currently for sale.To keep up with the latest real estate news no matter where you are, follow dailyDEEDs on Instagram!
