New Jersey Congressman and former Philadelphia Eagle, Jon Runyan is selling his seven-year-old Mt. Laurel home for $5.8 million. The posh mansion, a custom-built 23-acre French chateau, was designed by renowned architects David Donachy and Christopher Caulder. The 13,148-square-foot dwelling contains 5 bedrooms, 8 ½ baths, an elevator along with several other amenities. The house is located at 263 Mt. Laurel Rd., Mount Laurel, NJ.
Runyan played for the Eagles as an offensive tackler and helped them reach the Super Bowl in 2004. He is known for his commitment on the field as well as his commitment to community service. The player has involved himself with several non-profits in the Philly-South Jersey are, including the Leukemia-Lymphoma Society, the American Red Cross, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
In 2010, Runyan retired from the NFL and became New Jersey's third district congressman, beating Democrat John Adler. During his tenure in Washington, the congressman has served on several committees like the Armed Services Committee, the Veterans Affairs Committee, and the Natural Resources Committee.
Selling his house is not the only transition in Runyan's life. He is also stepping down from Congress and will not seek reelection. NJ.com reports that while he was honored to serve as a representative of New Jersey, he did not intend to make a career of politics. Spending time with his family is now his top priority.
Although Runyan is selling his Mt. Laurel mansion, his realtor Melissa Young said he plans to stay local, but hasn't decided which town or neighborhood his family will call home next.
