J.J. Watt is larger than life. So is his bank account: The Houston Texans star is currently working on a $100 million contract for the team.
You'd expect Watt to be living in some palace on the outskirts of Houston, or perhaps in rural Wisconsin. But you'd be wrong: In reality, Watt lives in a humble house in a Houston-area neighborhood.
Now, after five years in the home, Watt has listed the property for sale. In the slideshow below, take a peek inside Watt's soon-to-be-former house, and check out what a bargain price the home is on the market for.
J.J. Watt Lists Houston Home
Texas-Sized Home
Watt's modest Houston-area home sits on a half-acre in the community of Pearland.
Suburban Spaces
A tandem space turns this two-car unit into a three-car garage.
Tall, Tall Ceilings
Watt bought the home in 2011, for the modest price of $400,000.
Place To Store Your Gear
People who know Watt say the modest house makes sense for a guy who lives like an everyman.
Warm Weather Retreat
With great weather year-round in Houston -- okay, summer is a bit unbearable -- it makes sense that Watt has an awesome outdoor space to escape to.
Pool Party
OK, maybe it's not the kind of pool party you'd expect, but hey: It's fun, right?
Hot And Humid
But of course, every Houston home needs its own outdoor pool, too.
Live Where You Work
Watt is an active member of the south Houston community, attending high school football and even Little League games.
Business Time
Watt's takes care of business off the field -- and in a cozy home office, too.
Rest And Recuperate
This master bedroom is one of four bedrooms in the Watt home.
Do Work, Son
This is where J.J. Watt builds the body that strikes fear in NFL offensive coordinators.
Room For Company
The house features a total 4,169 square feet of finished space.
Eat Your Heart Out
It's not the gourmet kitchen you'd expect of a physical freak, but it'll do.
Quiet And Cozy
A fireplace can come in handy on cooler winter nights in Houston, although the tall ceilings are much more useful in helping heat escape.
Time To Upgrade?
This is no shabby bathroom, but with Watt's massive salary and endorsement deals, you know he could purchase much more home.
Sleepless In Houston
Most athletes put multi-million-dollar homes, but at $465,000, Watt's Houston-area home is much more affordable than what you typically see.
