Bobby Petrino’s $2.5 million house is for sale

Wanna see what Bobby Petrino’s $2.5 million Fayetteville home looks like?

We ask because it’s for sale and you can check out the listing for the property or take a virtual tour online.

Located at 4518 E. Bridgewater Ln. in Fayetteville, the house matches the address listed on a state police report for Petrino’s April 1 motorcycle accident.

The six-bedroom, nine-bathroom house is just under 8,800 square feet on a 2.97-acre lot just off Mission Boulevard.

According to the listing, the house was designed by Dallas architect David Viosca, and was built in 2007.

Reports surfacing today seem to suggest the property listing is directly related to Petrino’s recent firing, but the house has actually been on the market since May 6, 2010.

Of course, Petrino is probably a little more motivated now to sell it now.

    Even if I had the money, I wouldn’t want to live in a house like that.

      That’s exactly what I thought to myself as I looked at those pictures. Why to people automatically want to live in awful houses when they have a lot of money?

        Lack of taste.

    I think it’s time we move on to more positive aspects of the Razorback sports program. Former Razorback pitcher, Drew Smyly, just made his major league debut with the Detroit Tigers, and went four innings and gave up one run.

      Now that I can get behind! I love Razorback baseball! And I tend to agree. I think we are about at that line where we cross over from newsworthy to titillation. I am going to start focusing on what is important now – a great university with student athletes that deserve, for the most part, our support. Also, I can’t imagine how upset some of the football players must be at this point. Like the coach or not, he was obvsiouly an important figure in their present lives and they had the rug pulled out from under them. Time to lift up!

        I’m a Tigers fan and can tell you that Smyly was their most promising minor league pitcher last year and beat out some very tough competition for that fifth spot in the starting rotation. Hoping for big things from him.

    A period-correct, pre-recession high-peaked imitation-Tuscan. Unimaginative architectural trend-blandness scaled to garish proportions. At least you get plenty of wall space to hang your dark wood cursive “believe” and “faith” wall hangers from Hobby Lobby.

    40 years ago, it would have been a dark tudor filled with royal blue shag carpeting, padded harvest gold toilet seat covers, yellow stained-glass light fixtures hanging from chain link, and a peach-colored Cadillac with paint-matched hubcaps out front. I miss those days. Back then, a house like that would have come with a free velvet painting of Bobby.

    Looks like an episode of MTV Cribs, but without the Scarface poster.

    Nice kitchen, nice outdoor hang area. Otherwise… ugh. Chintz is never stylish.

    Those huge houses…within a stone’s throw of other huge houses…with no trees around, or tall trees…really freak me out. Not a drop of soul or character or individual touches. Perhaps like their inhabitants….

    Word is that nuclear physicists are dubbing a new sub-atomic particle the Petrino:
    it self-destructs every 3 years…

    Before I left town, I took care of one thing for all of you.

    Alabama’s crystal BCS Championship Trophy from last fall’s title team was shattered.

    The trophy, valued at $30,000, was reportedly knocked off its podium by a current player’s father, who tripped on a rug that sits at the bottom of the display.

    Thx,
    Bobby
