Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian is looking for a buyer for his hip Austin-area home.
Fresh off the heels of his contract extension (the University of Texas head coach was awarded a four-year contract extension last month, outlets report), which is likely to bring a major pay raise for the football coach, Sarkisian and his wife, Loreal Sarkisian, might be on the lookout for a bigger abode.
Their current home — listed for $5,880,000 — is a bright and beautiful contemporary home with over 5,000 square feet of polished interiors.
Located in Rollingwood, one of the best-rated suburbs in the Austin-Round Rock metropolitan area, within close proximity to the city proper (Rollingwood essentially borders the western edge of the city), the coach’s home is as inviting as it is elegant.
Clocking in at 5,331 square feet of living space, the Rollingwood house has 5 bedrooms, 6 baths and 1 half-bath, and sits on a 0.40-acre lot.
The main level’s open floorplan includes an owner’s suite with an expansive bath, private office, laundry room, and guest suite.
Heading up to the second level, we find 3 other bedrooms with en-suite baths, a secondary office, a media room and another laundry room.
Outdoor amenities include a pool, spa, firepit area, and even a putting green for golf enthusiasts.
Why would Sarkisian part ways with this beauty?
An older article on the website of local radio station 101.5 KNUE shared a while back that the coach — who also served as an offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons before coaching the University of Alabama team from 2019 to 2020 — may have picked up the property in a rush.
The article suggests that Sarkisian and his family needed a place to settle down in Texas after moving from Alabama and accepting the University of Texas’ offer to coach the Longhorns. The word on the street is that he’s now looking for another place to call home.
And after leading the Longhorns to the Big 12 championship and a College Football Playoff appearance, he’s likely in for a pay bump that would allow him to go bigger with his house purchase this time around.
And while we normally don’t give much credence to rumors, that would explain why the Texas Longhorns coach first listed the property for sale in 2022 — one year after moving here. (The property was first listed for sale in late September 2022, and has since seen quite a few price adjustments).
Drew and Patricia Tate with the Tate Property Group affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty Austin are in charge of the listing.
