Former QB Michael Vick Looks to Pass His South Florida Home to New Owner

Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick has placed his South Florida home on the market for $1.4 million. The home is located in the private community of Stonebrook Estates in Davie. Vick and his wife, Kijafa, purchased the home in 2013 for $1.32 million, according to property records.

The 6,295-square-foot has six bedrooms and seven baths, and offers the chance to “live like a baller,” according to the listing.

The standout interiors include marble flooring in the main living areas, vaulted ceilings, a chef’s kitchen with granite counters, two Sub-Zero refrigerators, and a walk-in pantry, plus built-ins throughout. On the lower level, the master suite comes with a sitting area, coffee bar, and master bath.

Friends and family can enjoy the in-home theater. Outside, the fun continues with a pool, spa, lounge area, terraces, and water views. The unique designs throughout include a Moroccan-themed room, with decor inspired by the couple’s travels.

“The home is stunning inside and out. It’s in an incredible location with privacy and security, and the Vicks’ have enjoyed living here for the last several years,” says listing agent Giselle Bonetti of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate.

Fans of the VH1 show “Baller Wives,” now in its second season, will recognize the residence, which has been featured on the reality TV show.

The Vicks have chosen to leave the home behind and to look for an upgrade.

“We’ve loved living in this home and raising our family here, but after welcoming our third baby, it’s time for us to expand,” Vick said in a statement.

Now retired from football, Vick, 37, played 13 seasons in the NFL. He was the first pick in the 2001 NFL draft coming out of Virginia Tech. 

The speedy and talented quarterback primarily played for the Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles, and transformed the position with his rushing abilities. Vick’s career came to a stop when he pled guilty to involvement in a dog-fighting ring, and served 21 months in federal prison in 2007. 

After the Virginia native served his time, he signed with the Eagles in 2009, playing with the team for five years. Vick was recently hired by Fox Sports to be an analyst for “Fox NFL Kickoff.”
