ASHWAUBENON — If you have some spare cash and are looking for that final piece of Brett Favre memorabilia to complete your collection, the former Green Bay Packers quarterback’s home is on the market.

There’s no “for sale” sign in front of the ranch-style home at 2085 Shady Lane, at the corner of Shady Lane and Morris Avenue, but it’s listed by local real estate agency Micoley and Company for $475,000. The nearly 3,000-square-foot home includes four bedrooms and three baths, according to Micoley’s Web site.

Brown County land records indicate the home’s value at $424,900. D.L. Tynes is named the property’s owner, and tax bills are sent to a Hattiesburg, Miss., address. Tynes is Deanna Favre’s maiden name. The Favre family’s permanent home is in Hattiesburg.

Real estate agent Wade Micoley wouldn’t confirm who owns the house, but said it’s been on the market for about 48 to 72 hours.

“I really can’t get into any more than that,” he said.

The sale is one of the final pieces of the Favre retirement drama that gripped Green Bay for much of late summer.

Favre visited the Green Bay area in August, when he came out of retirement. After it briefly looked like he might return to Green Bay, he was traded to the New York Jets.

But his footprint remains in the neighborhood. A driver called out “He’s in New York now,” to a reporter in the neighborhood on Thursday.

Tina Ebert, a nanny for one of Favre’s neighbors for about a year and a half, said she liked the connection. She has seen people come in and out of the home, but didn’t know it was for sale.

“I always thought it was pretty exciting to work across the street from Brett Favre,” she said.
