Steve Yzerman—a Hockey Hall of Famer, Olympic gold medalist, and legendary former Detroit Red Wings captain—is putting his 6,265-square-foot Florida mansion on the market for a cool $3.6 million.

Yzerman, arguably the most beloved athlete in Detroit, brought home three Stanley Cups over his 23-season career with the team. He was named the general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2010.

The Mediterranean-style mansion he’s listing in Tampa’s Davis Islands neighborhood was built in 2007 and has five bathrooms and two half-baths on a quarter-acre waterfront lot.

The property perfectly captures tropical Floridian luxury, with large palm trees and a meticulously landscaped lawn and yard. Double arched doors open to a marble entryway with an inlaid stone medallion. There’s custom woodwork and vaulted ceilings in every room. The dining room has an octagonal tray ceiling and separate wet bar.

The home’s lower level has a temperature-controlled wine cellar just a few steps from the large chef’s kitchen. The kitchen features a wraparound breakfast bar, separate island, stainless-steel appliances, commercial-style range and custom range hood, full backsplash, butler’s pantry, and custom cabinetry.

The first-floor master bedroom has a tiered tray ceiling, hardwood floor, walk-in closet, and glass doors leading to the patio. The master bathroom has dual sinks on opposite sides of the room, a walk-in shower, and a separate tub.

There’s a home theater with room for six on the second floor. An expansive veranda overlooks the heated Pebble Tec pool and spa, 168 feet of waterfront, and dock with boatlift. On the ground floor, there’s a covered patio with permanent outdoor kitchen. Elsewhere in the house, there’s an office with built-in bookcases, family room with stone fireplace, and game room.

The home was built by Tampa-based Boss & Mennie Luxury Home Builders. Yzerman purchased the home in 2010 for $2.43 million.

The Davis Islands neighborhood is home to a small municipal airport and the Davis Island Yacht Club. There are no traffic lights in the neighborhood.

Yzerman, 51, was drafted by the Red Wings in 1983, while he was still a teenager. He became the team captain in his third season, at the age of 21. He remained captain until retiring in 2006, appearing on the ice as a captain for more than 1,300 games.
