RealEstalker has reported that the Nashville home of former Tennessee Titans QB Steve McNair, who police say was shot to death by his mistress in a tragic murder-suicide last week, is on the market and is listed for sale for $3 million.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the McNairs put the home on the market in the past few months because they were looking to buy a different one — not due to marital problems.

Public records show the McNairs purchased the home for $1,599,000 in 2004. It has 14,263 square feet of living space, 26 rooms, 9 bedrooms, 9.5 bathrooms, and is on 1.33 acres.  It was built in 1998.

McNair retired from football in 2008 after playing 13 seasons as quarterback — mostly with the Tennessee Titans and two years with the Baltimore Ravens. He is the all-time leading passer for the Titans and led them to the playoffs four times, and the Ravens once. He played in Super Bowl XXXIV with the Titans.

Actor Charlie Sheen of “Two and a Half Men” and wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen, have listed their 1927 Mediterranean-style home in Los Feliz, CA for sale for $3,697,000. The gated villa, located at 2549 N Catalina St, Los Angeles, CA 90027, has undergone massive renovations over the past year, according to the Los Angeles Times. The 4,179 sq ft property has four bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms. The Sheen’s, however, have five children and do not feel the property has enough space to accommodate the kiddos. In March, Charlie and Brooke announced the birth of twin boys. Sheen also has three daughters from previous relationships, Sam and Lola (with ex-wife Denise Richards), and Cassandra.

Sheen is nominated for an Emmy for his work in “Two and a Half Men” and reportedly earns around $800,000 per episode —enough to foot the bill for a hefty monthly mortgage payment.
