ST. PETERSBURG -- Developer Grady Pridgen has bought former baseball player Dwight Gooden's 12,000-square-foot, custom-built home on Pinellas Point.
The house at 6700 30th St. S, which had been on the market for about seven months, was listed for $1.2-million.
Gooden said that considering the state of the economy, he was pleased with the sale.
"I have to be pleased, but it's kind of tough when you've put a lot into it. I miss it, because it was a family home," said Gooden, 38.
"It was like a dream home. I had my own room where I could go in and hide, like on Sundays, and watch football."
Pridgen, his wife, Jodi, and their children -- 9-year-old Tyler, 2-year-old Paloma and 9-month-old Parker -- expect to move into the house in May.
