No longer the Wright bachelor pad for Mets star
April 26, 2011 - New York Mets all-star third baseman David Wright is moving toward home, but in a different fashion, as he recently put his extravagant bachelor pad up for sale.
Wright, who reportedly moved to an apartment in New York's Upper East side and pays more than $12,000 a month to rent, made his previous penthouse in the Flatiron District available for purchase. The 4,000-square-foot, three-bedroom, 4.5-bath penthouse is now listed for $7.85 million, a significant increase from the $6.1 million Wright originally paid in 2006.
Among the extravagant amenities Wright had in his previous penthouse, known as Infinity Flats, are a salt-water aquarium, gas fireplace with glass stone, large media room with a wall of five flat-screen TVs, an oversized master suite, an eat-in kitchen with a marble island and wine cooler and a roof deck that has an enclosed hot tub, sound system and gas grill. Wright made the news previously for the hot tub, as he had the entire block shut down in order for a crane to lift the hot tub onto the building's roof.
Furthermore, Wright has decorated the penthouse with a regulation-size pool table and several arcade games, adding to the property's bachelor feel.
In 2006, when Wright initially purchased the property, he signed a six-year, $55-million extension with the Mets.
