Ray Bourque and his wife are selling their Boxford home, and they’re having an estate sale
Signed jerseys and photos, shoes, jewelry, and even his bathroom scale are on the market.
Like many parents of grown children, Boston Bruins legend Ray Bourque, and his wife, Christiane, are ready to downsize. They are selling their 5,000-square-foot-plus home in Boxford and having an estate sale.
But this isn’t just any estate sale considering who the owner is: Buyers have the opportunity to own memorabilia from Bourque’s hockey career, including signed jerseys and photos, as well as Ritz-Carlton Club merchandise with “Ray” embroidered on it.
There’s also jewelry; watches; cufflinks emblazoned with Ray Bourque’s name; women’s shoes, including designer brands like Jimmy Choo and Kate Spade; and other, more everyday items — silverware, men’s belts, children’s toys, and a bathroom scale.
“An estate sale really is an attempt by a family to get rid of everything,” said Debra Bacon, owner of ConsignWorks Inc. Estate Sales and Liquidations, the company running the sale. “That’s how we’ve set up the house — we make it look like this is someone’s home.”
Bacon said there’s something for everyone, with everything from kitchen essentials to a 6.5-foot-tall bronze statue of a golfer. “You could buy a set of measuring spoons and say, ‘Hey, these were at Ray Bourque’s home,’ ” she said.
Typically, clients wait until there’s a purchase and sale agreement for their home to hold an estate sale, according to Bacon. The Bourques have a pending offer on their four-bedroom home, which was listed for $1,995,000.
The sale is running from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at 47C Dana Road in Boxford.
