Phil Kessel‘s time with the Pittsburgh Penguins came to an end last month when the three-time all-star was dealt to the Arizona Coyotes.
The 31-year-old’s change of scenery will also mean a change of address, and Kessel recently got that process underway by putting his suburban Pittsburgh home on the market for a cool $2.1 million.
The 8,000 square foot house has much of the lavish features you’d expect to see in the home of an NHL star: five bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, three-plus acres of land, “stunning hardwood floors,” a kitchen that is a “chef’s dream,” a workout room and, of course, a pool.
But our favourite feature of the house is the theatre room on the home’s lower level, which is decorated in the most Phil Kessel way imaginable.
Phil Kessel's house is for sale, and this is the theater room.
…We have questions.

That’s right. In a theatre room with “auditorium style seating” and a 120-inch movie screen, Phil The Thrill has a set up of A SINGLE CHAIR! It’s not even a La-Z-Boy. And the photo above shows no hint of an ottoman.
Now it’s entirely possible – and likely – this travesty of comfort is a part of the real estate agent’s staging process, but it’s a lot more fun to imagine Phil lounging in that big theatre by himself catching up on the latest season of Stranger Things.
