Super-Bowl Winning QB Trent Dilfer Asks $7M for Bay Area Mansion

Published: February 15, 2017 | By: American Luxury Staff

A one-time quarterback and on-staff mentor for the San Francisco 49ers has listed a home in Santa Clara county. Trent Dilfer—who currently opines on football for ESPN, holding a prime seat for the network as an analyst—purchased the house in 2006, shortly after being traded to the team from the Cleveland Browns. He has listed it for $6.998 million.

The Spanish Revival style home dates to 2006, and features several of the charming design elements familiar to the style: turret, half-cylindrical tiled roof, second-floor balcony and plant balcony with wrought-iron balustrades, and a piggybacked first-floor patio and second-floor terrace, each with an attached pergola. Construction is stucco, and the home features an outside staircase to an inset, arched second-floor entrance. Rapidly growing flowering vines are making their way up and along the home’s façade.

The house measures 5,460 square feet, and contains five bedrooms and 5.5 baths. It rests on a nicely-sized 1.57-acre lot, which is enough room for a pool, a small hobbyist vineyard with a third patio and pergola, and a little breathing room. The poolside terrace incorporates an outdoor stucco-and-tile fireplace and grill station.

Interior features include much homage to the Spanish style: light fixtures are all evocative, exposed beams and warm hardwood floors contrast familiarly with whitewash and off-white toning, hand-painted tiling lends individuality, and a judicious use of rounded portals balances out all the harder angles.

Quarterback Trent Dilfer played 13 seasons in the NFL; as a member of the Ravens, he led the team to Superbowl XXXV. He retired from professional football in 2008.
