The house, also known as Home Run Farm or Home Plate Farm, where the baseball superstar Babe Ruth once lived is sold for a whopping $1.225 million, reported TMZ.

The house situated at Sudbury, Massachusetts, measures 5,200 square foot or equivalent to almost 2 acres. It has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The property also includes Rumford fireplaces and cherry wood cabinets. According to Dennis Gavin, the person who sold the house, Babe Ruth lived there when he was 27 years old for 5 years, from the years 1922 to 1926.

Gavin spoke with TMZ and told that entertainment gossip Web site that the house is indeed packed with great history and memories. He told TMZ that Babe Ruth's daughter Dorothy came over and visited the house. She showed Gavin a cigarette burn on the floor, apparently, left by Babe Ruth himself. She told Gavin that Henry Ford used to be their neighbor, and that he once confronted her family when Babe Ruth's dog went after his chickens. Legend has it that Babe Ruth threw a piano onto the ice one winter and then left it there until the ice melted making the piano sink in to the water. These stories just make the house more interesting.

Gavin lived in the house for 29 years. He initially put up the house in the market for the price of $1.65 million. However, it was reduced to $1.225 in October. The name of the person who bought the legendary house was not revealed.

Whoever bought the house must really into baseball memorabilia, and he has got a lot of money to spare. Babe Ruth's house is surely an ultimate collectible.

Babe Ruth was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played as a pitcher and outfielder for the Major League Baseball for 22 seasons in 3 different teams. He played for the Boston Red Sox initially, then for the New York Yankees, and lastly for the Boston Braves. Babe Ruth pretty much conquered the period in which he played.
