""It's a really notable sale, not only for the price point but for who's the seller," Abdalla said. "It's kind of bittersweet because it ends this chapter of the Backstrom family being in the area.""
"Backstrom bought the 16,000-square-foot residential property in 2021, just after it was constructed, for $8.5 million. The 7-bedroom, 12-bathroom home was initially listed for sale at $14.99 million. The price was lowered to $11.9 million in July. Among many other amenities, the home boasts a sauna and steam room, a movie theater, a bar, a full gym, an elevator, and six fireplaces. An integrated speaker system is also built into the walls throughout the property, positioned under every TV and outside by the swimming pool."
"The news comes after Backstrom, his wife Liza, and their three children, daughters Haley and Alizee, and son Vince, have been back in Sweden since the summer. The 38-year-old centerman signed a one-year contract with an option for a second year with Brynäs IF, his hometown team in the SHL, in late July. In 34 SHL games this season, the Capitals' all-time leader in assists has recorded 22 points (2g, 20a). Brynäs has struggled to gain traction as a team, sitting 10th of 14 teams in the SHL standings with a 16-16-3 record."
Nicklas Backstrom sold his 16,000-square-foot Northern Virginia mansion last week for $11 million to an undisclosed buyer. Compass agents Sherif Abdalla and Ali Alasgar Farhadov listed the property after it was put on the market last April. Backstrom purchased the home in 2021 for $8.5 million; it was initially listed at $14.99 million and reduced to $11.9 million in July. The 7-bedroom, 12-bathroom estate includes a sauna, steam room, movie theater, bar, full gym, elevator, six fireplaces, integrated speakers, and an outdoor pool. Backstrom and his family returned to Sweden while he plays for Brynäs IF in the SHL.
