This is the former home of baseball player John Valentin and his wife Marie. The couple spent years of planning and building the mansion, but after it was finished they never lived in it. They decided to sell it and so they put it on the market for $11.9 million. The home was then auctioned off in 2004 and sold for $7.37 million to Warren Diamond, the owner of American Self Storage. The mansion has 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 5 fireplaces, a spa, a racquetball court, two pools (indoor and outdoor), wine cellar, elevator, and a two lane bowling alley.
