Fine allegations : Fine’s DeWitt house up for sale

Bernie Fine’s house is now selling for $549,900 – four months after federal agents searched and removed several file cabinets from the property as part of their investigation.

The former Syracuse University associate men’s basketball coach’s DeWitt home at 7001 Tiffany Circle has been owned by the Fines since 2001, when they purchased it for $285,000, according to a March 28 article by The Post-Standard. The property is located across the street from head basketball coach Jim Boeheim’s residence.

An online listing at realtor.com shows there are no scheduled open houses, but those interested in possibly purchasing the house may request a private showing through realtor Mary Jo Heitkamp-France.

Heitkamp-France declined to comment.

The 2,898-square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bathroom house was built in 1985. It has a total of 13 rooms, a pool, a hot tub and a finished basement. It is located in the Jamesville-DeWitt School District, according to the listing.



The land assessment of the property is $80,700 and the full market value of the house is $305,000, according to the Onondaga County Office of Real Property Services.

Fine was fired from the university Nov. 27 after allegations surfaced that he sexually molested former ball boys Bobby Davis and Mike Lang. Fine has denied all sexual abuse allegations and has not been charged.
