Former 49er's custom Bay Area mansion is pending in just 5 days for $3.9M

"Behind a sea of fragrant lavender, a Mediterranean-style mansion rests in its own private valley. It's an upscale pastoral scene: the rolling hills and private acreage offering seclusion, while the opulent architecture and amenities offer luxury. It's the perfect setting for a professional athlete to relax between seasons. And indeed, 12240 Heritage Way was custom-built for a former San Francisco 49er."

"Ulbrich played 10 seasons with the 49ers: 120 regular-season games and 75 starts at linebacker, and logged 501 tackles, 366 of which were solo, and started in all three playoff games the 49ers appeared in during that period. After retiring from playing, Ulbrich went on to coach, working with the Seattle Seahawks, UCLA, the New York Jets, and finally with the Atlanta Falcons, where he now serves as the defensive coordinator."

"This 4,132-square-foot home offers five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, most of which look out on the surrounding bucolic landscape. The building materials are earthy: Italian tiles, stucco, brick and European stonework, plus "wide-plank oak flooring," to quote the official listing. From the sweeping grand entryway through the kitchen (with Italian range, double ovens, and reverse osmosis water filtration), which opens to a formal dining room framed in glass, this home has the feel of a modernized Mediterranean villa."

12240 Heritage Way sits on 2.5 private acres in a valley surrounded by lavender and rolling hills. The custom-built 4,132-square-foot Mediterranean-style home contains five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, with many rooms facing the bucolic landscape. Earthy materials include Italian tiles, stucco, brick, European stonework and "wide-plank oak flooring," per the listing. The kitchen features an Italian range, double ovens and reverse osmosis water filtration and opens to a glass-framed formal dining room. Outdoor amenities include a brick bar with a beer tap, barbecue and a solar-heated 20-by-40-foot pool. The home was built for former 49er Jeff Ulbrich, who played and later coached in the NFL.
