NFL Legend Cris Carter’s Longtime Home Is Listed for .3M

Legendary NFL wide receiver Cris Carter’s longtime home in Boca Raton, FL, is on the market for $2.3 million. Months earlier, he’d lost the 7,165-square-foot mansion in his divorce.

The Hall of Famer spent 15 years in the pros, mostly with the Minnesota Vikings. After retiring from the NFL in 2002, he became a sports analyst. He currently co-hosts “First Things First” on Fox Sports.

Carter, 52, and his ex-wife, Melanie, bought the Boca Raton home brand-new in 1996. Court records show the couple separated 10 years ago, and filed for divorce in 2016.

The seven-bedroom, nine-bath, two-story, Mediterranean-style home is part of the exclusive gated community of Les Jardins (which is also reportedly home to Ariana Grande’s mother, Joan).

The dramatic entry opens to an octagonal sitting area with a coffered two-story ceiling and walls of windows with custom drapes.

The sitting area flows into a formal dining room and kitchen, which has twin islands and top-of-the-line appliances. The kitchen also has a two-story ceiling, with stairs leading to a second-story landing. From there, you could look down into the kitchen and see what’s cooking.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a family room and eating area, with french doors leading to the outdoor kitchen and bar.

There’s also a home theater, game room with pool table, wet bar, two offices, and a home gym. The master suite includes three walk-in closets. Outside, there’s a pool and screened-in porch.

Carter played two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles before joining the Minnesota Vikings in 1990. He played for 11 seasons with the Vikings, and a single season with the Miami Dolphins before retiring. He made the Pro Bowl eight times in the 1990s, and led the NFL in touchdowns in 1995, 1997, and 1999. He’s one of 14 players in NFL history to haul in more than 1,000 receptions.
