Nicklas Backstrom\u2019s<\/strong> remaining ties to the Washington DC area have ended with the sale of his home.<\/p>\n

Backstrom\u2019s Northern Virginia mansion was purchased by an undisclosed buyer for $11 million last week, after being put on the market last April<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the Washingtonian<\/a>, Sherif Abdalla and Ali Alasgar Farhadov of Compass were the listing agents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really notable sale, not only for the price point but for who\u2019s the seller,\u201d Abdalla said<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of bittersweet because it ends this chapter of the Backstrom family being in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.\u2060<\/p>\n

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 Bryn\u00e4s IF<\/a>, his hometown team in the SHL, in late July.<\/p>\n

In 34 SHL games this season, the Capitals\u2019 all-time leader in assists has recorded 22 points (2g, 20a). Bryn\u00e4s has struggled to gain traction as a team, sitting 10th of 14 teams in the SHL standings with a 16-16-3 record.<\/p>\n

Backstrom owns a luxury villa in his native G\u00e4vle, Sweden<\/a>, which he had built in 2010. Bryn\u00e4s plays its home games at Monitor ERP Arena in G\u00e4vle.<\/p>\n
