Now Bank-Owned, Tony Gwynn’s Former Poway Home Lists for .12M

The former family home of beloved San Diego Padres great Tony Gwynn has had a rough few years since the Hall of Famer passed away in 2014.

In 2018, the home, still owned by Gwynn’s widow, Alicia, fell into foreclosure. At the time, the property was worth about $2 million, but she owed more than $2.5 million to the bank, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

The home went to auction in June 2018, but failed to attract a buyer, so ownership fell to the lender. Property records indicate that the current owner of the home is a trust associated with Deutsche Bank.

Earlier this year, neighbors spotted squatters living in the home. These interlopers were difficult to evict due to California’s squatters rights, so a civil case was brought to rid the home of any inhabitants.

Now the vagrants have scattered, and the bank is ready to find a new owner for the 2-acre property, so the mansion is on the market in Poway, CA, for $2,120,000.

Built in 1991, the home has seven bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and more than 7,300 square feet. Outside, there’s plenty of room for outdoor activities, plus a pool and sports court.

One of the best hitters ever, Gwynn played his entire 20-year career with the San Diego Padres and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007. After a long battle with cancer, Gwynn died in 2014 at the age of 54.

The Gwynn family moved to Poway, an upscale San Diego suburb, in the 1980s, eventually settling in this luxury home.

Now it’s time for a new buyer to enjoy this house with a prestigious Padres pedigree and create a new chapter for the most high-profile property in Poway. The bank is ready to play ball.
