Former Miami Marlins’ general manager Kim Ng scored a home run with the sale of her Coconut Grove home. 

Ng, the first woman general manager for a men’s team across the four major North American sports, and her husband, Silas Wines owner Tony Markward, sold their house at 3901 Kumquat Avenue, according to property records and the Multiple Listing Service. 

Ng was also the first Asian American general manager in Major League Baseball history when she was hired by the Marlins in November 2020. She resigned in October of last year, in part because the Marlins wanted to hire a president of baseball operations above her, according to ESPN

Ng and Markward sold the 3,400-square-foot Coconut Grove house for its asking price of $4.5 million, 40 percent more than their purchase price in 2021. The deed naming the buyer has not yet been recorded. The sellers renovated the home, including a new kitchen and flooring, according to the listing.

They paid $3.2 million for the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half home the same year it was completed. It sits on a quarter-acre lot. 

Gina Gardner of Engel & Völkers brought the buyer. Monica Betancourt of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty represented the sellers, according to Realtor.com. Betancourt also represented the couple when they bought the house three years ago. 

Ng isn’t the only sports celebrity to own a home in Coconut Grove. 

Late last year, NBA All-Star Kevin Love, a power forward for the Miami Heat, and his wife, Kate, paid $9.5 million for a spec home just northeast of Main Highway. 
Los Angeles Laker and ex-Miami Heat star player LeBron James’ former Coconut Grove mansion recently re-traded for $18.5 million.
