Chargers GM Tom Telesco deals for Rancho Santa Fe estate

Tom Telesco, the general manager of the San Diego Chargers, has made an upgrade of his own this NFL offseason, purchasing an estate in Rancho Santa Fe for $2.26 million.

The Traditional-style home, built in 1989, is sited on one-and-a-half acres in Fairbanks Ranch, an area about 20 miles north of Qualcomm Stadium. Spanning two floors, the nearly 5,400 square feet of living space includes a gourmet kitchen, a craft room, a living room with a brick fireplace, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, six bedrooms and five full baths.

Outdoors, resort-like grounds contain a large patio with fire pit, lap pool and spa.

Telesco, 41, joined the Chargers’ front office in 2013 after more than a decade with the Indianapolis Colts organization.

The home originally came to market in early February at $2.35 million, according to public records. Sale of the property closed June 2. Laura Barry of Barry Estates was the listing agent. Daniel Beer of Windermere Homes & Estates represented Telesco in the sale.

Telesco put $452,000 (20%) down on the home, financing $1.808 million. At a 4.25% fixed rate at 30 years, his estimated monthly payment would be $8,894.27, according to Foothill Ranch independent lender LoanDepot.
