"Big Papi" wants to sell you his penthouse complete with his own furnishings.
Red Sox legend David Ortiz is selling his three-bedroom condo atop a six-story midrise called the Watermark. Built in 2007, the 81-unit building is part of the Waterworks at Chestnut Hill complex on the Brighton-Newton line that also includes three historic municipal water buildings converted into high-end condos on an 8.8-acre site.
The Watermark Penthouse 606 has almost 3,100 square feet of living space on one level and comes with two deeded garage spaces.
And while it is within the city borders, its sweeping views of the Chestnut Hill Reservoir across the street make Big Papi's place feel far way from congested Brighton, although it's only a quarter mile from Cleveland Circle.
But this penthouse retreat has a big signing price — $3.2 million.
Keep in mind the asking price includes the Ortiz family's living, dining, kitchen and bedroom furniture as well as its outdoor patio furniture. Big Papi is also throwing in five flatscreen TVs as well as central surround-sound system with high-end Bowers & Wilkins living-room speakers.
"All a new owner has to do is turn the key," said listing broker Paul Colleary of Braintree's Dream Realty, who has worked with Ortiz since 2004, taking him to see over 100 properties and helping him buy four places.
"David is a great guy to work with, very easygoing," said Colleary. "Whenever he signs a new contract, he starts looking around for a new place."
It's not that Ortiz is selling off all his belongings. The slugger's primary Bay State home is a secluded single-family in Weston. He bought the Watermark penthouse a few years ago as a quiet and convenient place for him and his family to stay during the long Red Sox season. Fenway Park is only three miles away.
The penthouse has star quality, most notably with its two large terraces with sweeping views, ideal for outdoor entertaining. Colleary said the view of the daily sunsets over the reservoir from the living-room deck are spectacular. But Ortiz found the larger of the two spaces, a 330-square foot deck off the kitchen, inviting for other reasons.
"It overlooks three community baseball diamonds at Cassidy Park, and Big Papi loved to sit out there and watch the kids play ball, including his son," said Colleary. "He also entertained out there a lot."
The interior of the penthouse is anything but average. There's floor-to-ceiling windows in the large living/dining area that has tray ceilings, a gas fireplace and an elaborate wood chandelier. And glass doors lead out to a 120-square-foot balcony with sweeping views.
The spacious kitchen has a large array of custom cherrywood cabinets, granite counters and a cabinet-encased Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Wolfe gas oven and cooktop with an enormous wooden hood. There's an eat-in breakfast nook or else dine outdoors on the terrace.
The master bedroom suite is worthy of a star with floor-to-ceiling bedroom windows with automated shades and a king-size walk-in closet with cherrywood built-ins that held Big Papi's extensive wardrobe. There's the marble bathroom, with a supersized soaking tub, and there's even an attached home office with a separate entrance where Ortiz tended to business.
The other two bedrooms also each have en suite marble bathrooms.
There's some superstar expenses too. The yearly taxes are $28,047 and the condo fee is a steep $2,875 per month, but that does include heat, hot water and gas and a 24/7 concierge. And the Waterworks complex has a fitness facility, function room and even a Waterworks Museum on site.
Colleary said Ortiz's ownership has drawn some well-heeled sports fans to look at the property and that the penthouse could work well for another professional athlete, particularly someone just traded into Boston.
"We'll see what happens at Red Sox spring training," Colleary said. "If I haven't sold the property by then, there's some good prospects down there."
