The $7.9 million home of retired Washington Nationals star Ryan Zimmerman — aka Mr. National — went on the market earlier this week, as Urban Turf first reported.
Listed with Wetherly Barker Hemeon, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, the six-bedroom, 10-bathroom estate in Great Falls looks more like a lavish resort than a single-family home. This is precisely what attracted Zimmerman and his wife to the home when they bought it in 2012 for $3.9 million.
“Because Ryan is in the public eye all the time, we wanted to have a little vacation at home and that’s what we found,” his wife, Heather, told Home & Design in 2016.

Zimmerman played 16 seasons for the Washington Nationals as a third and first baseman before announcing his retirement in February. He and his family trade the 13,000 square foot home in Great Falls for a newly built 20,000 square foot estate, nicknamed “Federal Hill,” in McLean.
