Regarded as one of the best Canadian MLB players ever, Larry Walker terrorized MLB pitchers for seventeen seasons. Although his playing days are long behind him, that doesn't mean that Walker is sitting idle.
In 2022, Walker and his wife Angela listed their breathtaking Colorado home for $3.9 million, according to Realtor.com. The 6.4-acre plot is located in the town of Evergreen, Colorado and looks like something out of a postcard.
With eight bedrooms and ten bathrooms, Walker's former home is absolutely tripped out. A lofted living space presents views of the surrounding mountains, and the central staircase comes with iron handrails. The spacious, light space is only made more liveable by virtue of a kitchen with two ovens, three stoves, and a wine rack.
