NFL legend Ray Lewis’ former Maryland mansion has hit the market for $1.57 million after undergoing a dramatic transformation—more than two decades after the Baltimore Ravens star purchased the sprawling property.
The former linebacker, who helped lead the Ravens to two Super Bowl victories, purchased the Owings Mills residence in 1999 and held onto it for approximately 25 years, according to listing agent Maria Saffron of Monument Sotheby’s International Realty.
Lewis lived at the property for several years and owned it during both of his championship victories, making the home a notable piece of Baltimore sports history.
Now, less than six months after acquiring the property from the NFL great, its current owners have unveiled an extensive renovation that has given the residence a fresh appearance.
The five-bedroom mansion was built in 1995 and sits on 2.33 acres of land, offering 5,783 square feet of living space.
“This property immediately stood out to me because it offers such a rare combination of character, history and thoughtful modern updates,” Saffron told Realtor.com®.
“As the listing agent, I’ve really enjoyed seeing how the renovations have transformed the home while preserving the sense of scale and presence that make it so memorable.”
The Colonial-style residence has undergone significant changes both inside and out, beginning with its exterior, which now features a striking white finish contrasted by dark architectural accents.
Inside, the owners have refreshed the home with new hardwood floors, carpeting, paint, and updated lighting and plumbing fixtures.
The extensive renovation also included a complete overhaul of the kitchen, which now boasts high-end BlueStar appliances, a custom range hood, and an impressive 48-inch range.
An expansive island provides additional preparation space, while upgraded countertops and a pantry round out the kitchen’s amenities.
The open floor plan allows the kitchen to connect with the home’s other living areas, creating an inviting setting for entertaining.
Elsewhere, the residence features crown molding, recessed lighting, and multiple spaces for dining and relaxing.
The property also boasts two fireplaces, adding warmth to the expansive interior.
Each of the home’s bathrooms has been remodeled with updated finishes, bringing a more contemporary appearance to the decades-old dwelling.
Four of the five bedrooms are situated on the upper level, where residents can also enjoy a private sauna.
The spa-inspired amenity provides a place to unwind without having to leave the comfort of home.
Additional living space can be found in the finished basement, which accounts for approximately 1,500 square feet of the property’s total finished area.
The lower level also includes a bedroom and bathroom, according to the listing details.
Outside, the mansion’s expansive grounds offer plenty of opportunities for recreation and entertaining.
A heated in-ground swimming pool serves as one of the property’s standout amenities, surrounded by outdoor living space.
The current owners have also installed a large new deck overlooking the pool and surrounding grounds, providing an additional area for outdoor dining, gatherings, or simply taking in the views.
The property offers views of trees, wooded surroundings, and the nearby valley, while a three-car attached garage provides parking and storage space.
Despite the extensive renovations, the home retains its original Colonial architectural style, blending its established character with the modern improvements introduced by its latest owners.
The mansion’s return to the market also marks another chapter in its connection to one of the most celebrated players in Baltimore Ravens history.
Lewis joined the Ravens in 1996 and spent his entire 17-season NFL career with the team, establishing himself as one of the league’s most formidable defensive players.
In January 2001, he helped lead Baltimore to victory over the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV, earning the game’s Most Valuable Player award.
More than a decade later, Lewis returned to the championship stage when the Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII in February 2013.
The victory marked the final game of his professional career, with Lewis retiring as a two-time Super Bowl champion.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. Although it is unclear exactly when Lewis stopped residing at the Owings Mills property, he maintained ownership through both of his Super Bowl victories.
For Saffron, the home’s connection to the Ravens legend is an important part of its appeal, particularly given the team’s longstanding ties to the Baltimore area.
“There’s something especially meaningful about representing a home with such a strong connection to Baltimore sports history, and I’m excited for the next owner to experience everything it has to offer,” she says.
Now, with a $1.575 million asking price and an extensive renovation completed, the property is seeking a new owner who can enjoy its updated amenities while becoming part of its decades-long history.
