Garrett, 30, secured a buyer for his Cleveland-area abode soon after it was announced that he'd been traded to the L.A. Rams.
Former Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett has sold his Ohio home for $2.15 million—having secured a buyer for the property within days of listing it for the lower price of $2.1 million.
Garrett made the decision to put his Cleveland-area home on the market soon after he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams and just days after he reportedly purchased a sprawling $23 million mansion in the same exclusive L.A. neighborhood where the team's quarterback, Matthew Stafford, currently lives.
Property records were updated to reflect that the athlete's Wadsworth, OH, dwelling had come under offer just a few days after the listing went live—and now, the listing has been updated to show that the deal has officially closed, for $50,000 over his original ask. Rebecca Donatelli and Natalie Antonelli of The Elli Group at Elite Sotheby's International Realty represented Garrett in the deal.
The 30-year-old purchased his Cleveland-area home for $1.3 million in November 2018, according to records, just over a year after he was chosen by the Browns as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
Garrett, who is originally from Texas, spent the first nine seasons of his NFL career with the Browns, earning the title of Defensive Player of the Year twice during that time—while becoming a local hero in the Cleveland area.
However, the defensive end also found time to carry out several impressive upgrades to his private residence, adding an incredibly high-end array of features and amenities. They included a detached four-car garage and a custom walk-in closet with a glass display case to showcase his favorite fashion pieces.
Located on a 2-acre spread, the 4,300-square-foot home sits behind a gated entryway, ensuring maximum privacy.

(Courtney Fantelli) When the home was originally placed on the market, Donatelli told Realtor.com® that she and Antonelli were "thrilled" to be taking on such an "exceptional" property, adding: "With beautifully designed living spaces, incredible areas for entertaining, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout, this home is truly one of a kind.
"It offers an unmatched combination of luxury, comfort, and modern sophistication."
"Sophisticated design, exceptional craftsmanship, and effortless functionality come together in this custom-built home, privately situated on approximately two acres in the prestigious Hidden Lakes of Sharon," the listing stated.
The five-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home featured several distinctive nods to Garrett's career throughout its interior, with listing images revealing rooms filled with mementos from his nine seasons in the NFL.
One of the two bars in the home was decorated with several images of the athlete on the field during Browns games, while another wall is home to multiple NFL jerseys, including those of former Minnesota Vikings player Danielle Hunter and former Houston Texans star Dameon Pierce.
But it's not just NFL memorabilia that Garrett collected during his time living in the spacious property.
Images of the "executive office" showcased the custom cabinetry that has been filled with different collectibles, including movie merchandise, action figures, and what appear to be multiple camera lenses.
There is also a large custom gym in the property filled with top-of-the-line equipment that "can convey with the property, along with some select home furnishings," the listing notes.
Spread across three levels, the home offers ample space for entertaining, particularly on the lower walkout level, which is home to multiple recreation areas, including the gym, a bar, and a home theater.

There is a sizable gym on the lower level of the property. (Courtney Fantelli) On the main level, residents can kick back in several sun-filled spaces, including the open-plan kitchen, which features a walk-in pantry and a spacious island, designed to accommodate multiple people, in addition to a dining area.
That space opens up to the main living area, which has a wall of windows that open out onto the upper deck of the home.
"Designed for both style and function, the kitchen showcases premium appliances, an oversized center island, custom cabinetry, a spacious walk-in pantry, and seamless flow into the adjoining living and dining areas," the listing added.
The primary suite features incredible natural light, as well as an array of upscale features, including a "spa-inspired bathroom" and the "extraordinary" custom walk-in closet, which has been designed to accommodate even the most impressive fashion collections.
In addition to the five bedrooms already available in the home, there is "an oversized bonus room" that could be used for further accommodations, or as a game room or an office.
Outside, the home is surrounded by lush landscaping and ample space to entertain, including at the private fire pit or on the upper deck, which boasts a built-in grill area and plenty of room for sitting and dining.
"Completing the property is a three-car attached garage and a separate four-car garage with a finished upper level, ideal for a private office, studio, or hobby space," the description noted.
The listing comes just hours after it was reported that Garrett had closed on a new home in Los Angeles—where he is expected to be based for the next few years, having agreed to a restructured five-year contract when he was traded to the Rams.
In return for trading Garrett, the Browns received linebacker Jared Verse from the Rams, as well as a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick.

So perhaps it is unsurprising that he appears to have splashed out a bit more on his new dwelling than he did on his last, with In Touch claiming that he has snapped up an extraordinary $23 million mansion in Hidden Hills—where Rams quarterback Stafford also resides, as do several members of the Kardashian family.
Records show that the home highlighted by the outlet changed hands for that extraordinary sum on July 13, just over a month after Garrett's trade was confirmed—and just over a week before he listed his Ohio residence.
The newly built residence, which appears to have only just been completed, was not listed on the multiple listing service prior to its purchase, suggesting that it traded hands in an off-market deal.
Garrett's move to Los Angeles, which was described by The Athletic as "seismic," will not only see him joining his second NFL team, it will also bring him closer to his girlfriend, professional snowboarder Chloe Kim, 26, who grew up in California and has been based in L.A. for several years.
However, his relocation to L.A. has not been without its difficulties.
The athlete has missed 12 practices with the team already since preseason training began, having suffered a knee injury that is being described as "minor."
Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters at the team's practice that they are focused on ensuring Garrett is fit and healthy for their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, a game that will be played in Melbourne, Australia.
"The goal is, what can we do to be able to get him ready to roll for Australia?" McVay said, according to NBC Sports.
The outlet reports that Garrett played all 17 regular season games with the Browns in his last two seasons with the team, and has only missed four games over the past six seasons.
