Former home of Bengals player on market for $1.8M

BY KAITLIN GEBBY | LINK nky PRINT EDITOR

The home of former Cincinnati Bengal Domata Peko, who played defensive and nose tackle for 11 seasons, has been listed for sale for nearly $1.8 million.

The Crestview Hills property, located at 2515 Legends Way, has a whopping six bedrooms and six bathrooms, an in-home theater, a full bar in the basement, a sauna, and a pool complete with a waterfall and slide.

The home’s fascinating history goes beyond its former owner, though.

Buried in the backyard inside a soft-sided cooler was $250,000 of cash, which was dug up by federal authorities in 2010, according to reports from the Associated Press at the time. The money linked back to a housing developer who was ordered to pay back $34 million as part of a conviction for bank fraud and conspiring to obstruct an official investigation. Investigators told the AP it was buried between the third tee box and the sixth green of the Summit Hills Golf Course, just beyond the rear of the home’s property.
