Miami Dolphins linebacker Dannell Ellerbe snapped up a custom-built six-bedroom, 7½-bath Mediterranean-style mansion in Davie for $1.55 million.

The luxury property was originally listed for nearly $1.8 million by Avantage Asset holdings Inc., but Ellerbe paid about $142 per square foot for the mansion built in 2008 on 0.9 of an acre at 14211 SW 17th St. That’s less than 10 miles from work at the Dolphins training camp.
