Over one year after his passing, the family of a Boston Red Sox legend will be selling his mansion in the city’s suburb’s to benefit a special cause.
The home of former team president and CEO Larry Lucchino was recently put on the market at a valuation of $7.495million.
After the sale is completed, the funds will go to his foundation and will then be apportioned out to local charities.
The mansion is located in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Boston’s Brookline suburb.
It was built in 2000, sits on three-fourths of an acre, measures at 9,755 square feet and features six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and two half-bathrooms.
Located south of the campus of Boston College, the mansion is located away from – but nearby – the busy Boylston Street and has plenty of privacy.

Lucchino got into baseball after practicing law in Washington, DC. He had an ownership stake in the Baltimore Orioles when they won the 1983 World Series.
He then got into baseball management by becoming the Orioles’ president from 1988 to 1993.
After a year away from the game, Lucchino became president and CEO of the San Diego Padres from 1995 to 2001. Under his care, the Padres reached the 1998 World Series – but fell in a sweep to the New York Yankees.
Lucchino then jumped to the Boston Red Sox and served in his leadership roles with the team from 2002 to 2015. He brought Theo Epstein with him to Boston after taking the New York native with him from Baltimore to San Diego.
Under Lucchino and Epstein, the Red Sox broke the ‘Curse of the Bambino’ in 2004 by winning Boston’s first World Series title 1918.
Lucchino followed that 2004 win with titles in 2007 and 2013, the latter being the first World Series won at Fenway Park in 95 years.
He stepped down in 2015. The following year, he was voted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame. The Padres included him in their team’s Hall of Fame in 2022.
Lucchino is the only known person to have a World Series ring, a Super Bowl ring (which he won through ownership of the Washington Redskins for Super Bowl XVII) and a Final Four watch (earned by being a member of Princeton’s 1964-65 basketball team).
He passed away at age 78 due to heart failure in April 2024.
