Wanna live like the Bambino?  Well, now is your chance…

The suburban Boston home where Babe Ruth lived after he had been sent to the New York Yankees is for sale, and the asking price is more than Ruth made in his entire playing career.  The estate is known as Home Plate Farm in Sudbury, Mass. and is on the market for $1.65 million.

Ruth lived in the home from 1922 to 1926, according to broker Scott Adamson, of Coldwell Banker Residential brokerage.

Ruth played for the Red Sox from 1914 to 1919, then for the Yankees from 1920 to 1934. His playing salary over a 22-year career was less than $911,000, according to baseball-reference.com.

The 5,000-square-foot, five-bedroom, 3½-bathroom home on a two-acre plot has undergone extensive renovations since the 1920s, including “a chef’s dream kitchen, richly detailed family room, a sunny master suite with vaulted ceilings” and more, the listing says.

But some of Ruth’s personal touches remain. One room even has burn marks on the floor where Ruth is said to have flicked his cigar ashes, Adamson said.

The property also includes a 5,000-square-foot barn with stables, office space, garage bays and a one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and bathroom.

The home is also not far from Willis Pond, where the remains of a piano that reportedly once belonged to Ruth is thought to be submerged. Legend has it that Ruth, who rented a hunting cabin on the pond, pushed an upright piano onto the ice one winter during a party, then left it there until the ice melted and piano plunged into the water.
