Even after The Great Bambino was infamously traded from the Red Sox to the Yankess, the slugger still called Boston home. Today, that home is now for sale. The estate is appropriately called Home Plate Farm and is located in Sudbury, MA which is about 20 miles outside of Boston and is currently for sale with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage agent, Scott Adamson.
The 5,124 square foot home has been updated since Ruth stayed there, but his aura still remains. In fact some burn marks on the hardwood floor are rumored to be from the ashes of Ruth’s cigar. According to Coldwell Banker agent, Scott Adamson, the kitchen has been fully renovated along with several other aspects of the home.
The original “house that Ruth built” also has 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and working garage bays. A 5,000 square ft. barn on the property features horse stables, a working office space and a one-bedroom apartment above with full kitchen and bathroom.
See all the details of Babe Ruth’s former home on coldwellbanker.com and browse a picture gallery of the property as well. I’m sure you’ll find that the “Sultan of Swat” knew all too well that there was no place like home.
Correct spelling is Sudbury
Thanks for the comment Richard. Made the edit in the photo caption.
was any part of Babe Ruth’s house torn down? the reason i ask is because a friend of mine says he got/received a whole pile of bricks that came from his house when it was torn down.
That’s probably a question for the listing agent. Your friend might be talking about a different house as well but from what i can tell the original structure is still in place.
