ormer New York Giants star Jeremy Shockey is trading in his football cleats for a luxury lifestyle. The four-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion, 44, has closed on a stunning new home in Miami's exclusive Bay Point Estates for $4.5 million, a half-million less than the original asking price.

    Located at the end of a cul-de-sac in this ultra-private community, Shockey's modern estate boasts nearly 17,000 square feet of beautifully manicured grounds and offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The interior spans around 4,000 square feet, with a show-stopping 5,000-square-foot Zen garden that features a koi pond, brick pathway, and canopy of trees.

    The open-concept home is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with a heated saltwater pool, Calcutta stone deck, and custom BBQ area. Inside, the lavish primary suite comes with a private balcony, while additional bedrooms and sleek bathrooms provide ample space for guests. A chef's kitchen features a gas island and premium finishes, along with an entertainment room and second living space.

    Recent upgrades include a new AC system, gas generator, and spacious two-car garage. Shockey's new home is the perfect retreat after his illustrious football career, which included helping the Giants win Super Bowl XLII against the New England Patriots in 2008.
