Lurie's house on the market
Michael Klein, Philly.com
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie's Haverford pad is on the market, with an asking price of $8.5 million.
Lurie and wife Christina bought the property at the end of 1994 for $2.6 million (according to Montgomery County records) and put much into it.
The couple are heavily renovating the Annenberg estate in Wynnewood, for which they paid $14 million in 2007.
The Haverford listing describes the five-bedroom off Montgomery Avenue as "understated elegance" -- that is, "handsome 1928 stone Normandy nestled on 2.31 manicured acres on a private lane" with pool, spa, cabana, and clay tennis court, and "landscaped in the European tradition with elegant front and rear courtyards, flagstone terraces and spectacular park-like grounds."

Comment removed.- The 8 million is a matter of debate. He did get suckered by John Street, what a surprise.— craig123
Swanky. Perhaps the city of Philadelphia should put a lien on it.— Professor Smart E. Pants, PhD.- I thought Lurie lived in Philadelphia around Oxford Circle.— The Baron

- Once he sells the house, then he pays the city. UH RIGHT!!!— Phil S
- WOW over 300% appreciation in this market. That must be 1 hell of a house the Eagle fans bought. He is so pompous. Did he bring on some new siblings that he had to upgrade? Maybe John & Kate + 8 can shack up with them in their new digs. I hope there is an undiscovered fault line under his property and it crumbles into a sink hole right before he gets ready to move in.— Pat c

$8.5 million for a five bedroom seems like a lot, but it does come with a swell counting room.— Richard Saunders- Wow, that is some major appreciation in the market. I wonder what kind of renovations they did to see that kind of value increase? Either way, if they plan on selling a home at that price, they should at least plan on doing some active marketing and at least get some publicity by making a real estate video and distributing across the web. With that asking price and the current market conditions, you can use all the help you can get!— jollyjill

- They should look into swapping for Michael Vick's place— Grover
