Five-time NFL Pro Bowl selection LaDainian Tomlinson was picked up by the New York Jets as a free agent in 2010, but the former San Diego Chargers running back didn’t jump to put his California home on the market. As a matter of fact, Tomlinson’s San Diego home didn’t hit the market until nearly a year later. It’s now listed for $5,210,000.

The Texas-born running back, often called by his short and sweet nickname “L.T.,” picked up his massive 13+-acre San Diego area pad, tucked within the city of Poway, in 2004 for $3.5 million. As is typical with celebrity and sport star homes, the estate includes some nice recreational outlets, such as a full-size basketball court and tennis court. In addition to the 9,500-sq ft main house is a resort-style swimming pool, private theater, outside cabana with BBQ area, flat-screen TVs and heaters, and detached guest quarters.

Tomlinson’s home doesn’t actually span across the entire 13 acres, though. According to the listing, the property consists of 2 parcels, one measuring 8.24 acres and the other just over 5 acres. The second parcel is noted as being ideal for selling, or holding for development. Either way, Tomlinson is set to turn a nice profit if the home sells anywhere near the asking price. Listed for $5,210,000, a sticker price offer could turn into a 53.2 percent profit. This is apparently a common trend on the Poway real estate market. Zillow’s Real Estate Market Reports show 66.1 percent of Poway homes sold in June sold for more than their previous purchase price.
