This one might remind you of an episode of MTV’s “Cribs.”
In Sandy Springs, there is a $5.89 million home for sale that is fit for a king. Or at least, it was good enough for a Super Bowl MVP.
A home nestled on Northwest Riverside Drive is owned by Hines Ward — a former University of Georgia and Pittsburgh Steelers’ star — and recently, the custom-built home was placed on the market. Realtor Paula S. Van Sickle calls it an “entertainer’s dream home.” She and Brad Burns of the Burns Van Sickle Real Estate team are selling the home through PalmerHouse Properties.

The home also features a weight room, a sauna and a trophy room that once likely housed all of Ward’s awards. At Georgia, he was a two-time All-SEC selection and is second only to Herschel Walker in all-purpose yards.

It is also a "smart home" with high-tech controls, and has geothermal heating and air.
The home was built in 2008 and first listed on Realtor.com in March.
