One of the wealthiest men in our area is putting his multi-million dollar mansion up for auction.
Author, entrepreneur and former Philadelphia 76ers owner Pat Croce announced his Villanova home, most recently listed at $6.25 million, will be sold to the highest bidder during an auction on October 25.
The Stone Colonial mansion, located at 835 Mount Moro Road in Villanova, is over 10,000 square feet and sits on 3.55 acres.
The 88-year-old home includes six bedrooms, five full baths and three half baths, a 10-car garage, five fireplaces, private library and formal dining room, kitchen, master suite with fireplace, his-and-her baths and a large sitting area.
It also includes a pool with a detached pool house, tennis court and fitness room.
Croce, 59, was a physical therapist and athletic trainer for the Philadelphia 76ers for more than ten years. He later founded SPORTS Physical Therapists in the 1980's and was named the president of the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996. During his time with the team, the Sixers went from last place to the NBA Finals in 2001.
After leaving the 76ers, Croce was a television commentator for The NBA on NBC and also the author of several books, including his New York Times best selling autobiography "I Feel Great and You Will Too!"
