Anthony Rizzo, the Chicago Cubs’ first baseman, upgraded his real estate portfolio by purchasing a stunning $4.6 million home in Fort Lauderdale’s prestigious Las Olas Isles.

This contemporary home, now valued at $7.8 million reflects Rizzo’s evolving lifestyle as he prepares for a future with his wife Emily Vakos.

The property features an open, bright floor plan that blends modern sophistication with warmth.

Marble and wood floors flow throughout the home, adding a touch of elegance to the spacious living areas.

Transitioning from His South Florida Past
