Yelich has decided to move his family to Wisconsin, a KOVAC representative told AD. It’s unclear if he ever actually lived in the 5,300-square-foot residence, considering it was just completed this year.The home’s exterior. Photo: Roger DaviesThe home’s airy entryway.

Sprawling patios are connected to most of the rooms, with the main level hosting a particularly spacious deck with an infinity pool, an outdoor shower, a bathroom, and plenty of space to lounge or entertain, including multiple fire pits, a dining area, and an outdoor kitchen.The primary suite’s bathroom.
