Another former Celtic selling his Lincoln home

Who wants to commute 3,000 miles each way every day? Former Boston Celtics player Rajon Rondo, whose work address is now in Sacramento, is selling his Lincoln home overlooking the Cambridge reservoir. The asking price? Nothing remarkable by Lincoln standards—just $1.99 million, dropped from $2.45 million in May.

“We especially appreciated being part of the Lincoln community, which was always welcoming and warm to us. This was a very lucky house for me, and I have nothing but fond memories of my time here,” Rondo said in this Boston Globe article. He bought the property at 9 Fridolin Hill seven years ago when he was just 22, and got along well with his neighbor, according to WEEI.com.

Two years ago, Celtics player Paul Pierce also put his Winter Street home on the market for $2.65 million after he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets.

According to Trulia.com, Rondo’s asking price pales in comparison to those of several other Lincoln homes on the market as of August 21, including 109 Todd Pond Rd. ($8.59 million), 18 Page Rd. ($7.5 million), and 7 Silver Hill Rd. ($3.5 million).
