The Florida mansion that once belonged to Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield and his wife Stacy has sold for $3.8 million following the couple's respective deaths in late 2023 and early 2024.
TMZ was the first to report the sale.
The property, an oceanfront mansion initially valued at $3.3 million, is located in Indian Harbor Beach in the exclusive Lansing Island community and features four bedrooms and five bathrooms in 6,242 square feet.
It also has a swimming pool with waterfall, jacuzzi, outdoor fireplace and summer kitchen. It went up on the market last Friday.
Tim Wakefield was living at the property at the time of his death in October 2023 from brain cancer at the age of 57.
His widow, Stacy, died five months later of pancreatic cancer. The couple is survived by their two children, Trevor and Brianna.

Tim's death was the subject of outrage due to his former Red Sox teammate Curt Schilling, who announced the news about Wakefield's health against the family's own wishes.
Schilling revealed the information in his podcast about Wakefield on his podcast, using his Christian faith as an excuse to convey such personal news.
“Tim Wakefield, the knuckleballer, is sick,” Schilling said. And I talked to Doug Mirabelli yesterday and it's not a message that Tim has asked anyone to share and I'm not even sure if he wants me to share it.
'But as a Christian and a man of faith, I have seen the work of prayer, and that is why I am going to talk about it.
'Tomorrow is never, never a fact. Tim's wife, Stacy, who is one of the sweetest women you will ever meet, is very sick with pancreatic cancer.
'We are all thinking of them and praying for her. But recently, Tim was diagnosed with a very serious and very aggressive form of brain cancer.
The Red Sox quickly responded to Schilling, saying, “We are aware of the statements and inquiries regarding the health of Tim and Stacy Wakefield.”
'Unfortunately, this information has been shared publicly without your permission.
'Their health is a deeply personal matter that they intended to keep private as they navigate treatment and work to address this disease.
“Tim and Stacy appreciate the support and love that has been given to them and respectfully ask for privacy at this time.”
The Wakefields left behind their two adult children, son Trevor and daughter Briana.
Tim died days after Schilling's announcement and his widow Stacy passed away in February of this year surrounded by her family at the age of 53.
'The loss is unimaginable, especially after losing Tim just under five months ago. “Our hearts are beyond broken,” read a statement issued through the Red Sox.
'We will remember Stacy as a strong, loving, thoughtful and kind person, who was down to earth.
“We feel very lucky to have had her in our lives and take comfort in the fact that she will be reunited with Tim, the love of her life.”
As much as Tim was celebrated for his accomplishments on the field, both he and Stacy were also regarded in Boston for their work in the community.
Stacy worked alongside her husband raising money for multiple charitable groups, including the Red Sox Foundation.
They also worked with the Jimmy Fund, visiting patients and raising funds for the children's cancer charity.
