\"Quirky<\/p>\n

Phil Kessel clearly likes his privacy when he\u2019s watching movies. <\/p>\n

Or maybe the polarizing NHL star didn\u2019t get many visitors to his suburban Pittsburgh house during his time with the Penguins. <\/p>\n

Either way, Kessel\u2019s home theatre is the ultimate in single-guy man-cave entertainment \u2014 a single chair smack dab in front of a 120-inch TV \u2014 despite the potential for auditorium-style seating that would allow an entire NHL team to enjoy a night at the flicks. <\/p>\n

The Kessel oddity (or staging faux pas) came to light when the ex-Leafs forward put his 8,000-square-foot mansion in Marshall Township, Pa., <\/p>\n

on the market<\/a><\/p>\n

, following his trade to the Arizona Coyotes last month. <\/p>\n

Phil Kessel’s $2.1 million home is turning heads. Especially for one key image of his home theater room.https:\/\/t.co\/LG74k7S41S<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ifs28Vcty8<\/a><\/p>\n

The <\/p>\n

five-bedroom, 7 1\/2 bathroom house<\/a><\/p>\n

on a 3.05-acre lot \u2014 it also has a walk-in wine closet that holds 400 bottles and room for a pool \u2014 can be had for just $2.1 million. <\/p>\n

The basement level, which includes the <\/p>\n

lonely-guy home theatre<\/a><\/p>\n

and a wet bar, gives other small glimpses into Kessel\u2019s personality \u2014 a framed poster for the forgettable Mariah Carey movie, Glitter, and another from Wedding Crashers, plus a pair of mannequins dressed up in, presumably, Kessel\u2019s Olympic gear. There\u2019s even a painting of a serious-looking Phil the Thrill in a Penguins jersey. <\/p>\n

Kessel, who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs for six seasons, was traded to the Coyotes on June 29 for Alex Galchenyuk and Pierre-Olivier Joseph. He spent four seasons with the Penguins. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
