JJ McCarthy buys ex-Twins star Joe Mauer’s house for $2.44 million

Vikings rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy has found a home in Minnesota. Literally.

According to Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press, McCarthy purchased the former home of Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame catcher Joe Mauer.

The home – a four-bedroom, five-bathroom home measuring 7,252 finished square feet with 4.92 acres of property – is located in Sunfish Lake, a small suburb south of St. Paul, a few miles from Vikings headquarters to the TCO Performance Center in nearby Eagan.

According to property records, the home was sold on June 24 for $2.44 million. This was two months after the Vikings drafted McCarthy 10th overall on April 25.

For clarity, Dakota County real estate records list IMM LLC, an investment management company, as the fee owner. It is common in professional sports for athletes to purchase homes through investment companies.

Mauer purchased the Sunfish Lake home in 2012 for $1.75 million. According to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, Mauer paid $6.3 million in cash for a home on Lake Minnetonka in the west Twin Cites metro area in 2016.
