Renowned Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts has unveiled his opulent residence in the sought-after Encino neighborhood, placing it on the market with an asking price of $9.995 million. The 9,415-square-foot abode was originally acquired by Mr. Betts in October 2020, procured for $7.6 million through a limited liability company, as indicated by PropertyShark records. Interestingly, the acquisition was made from none other than Chip Kelly, the esteemed coach of UCLA’s football team.
Designed and erected in 2018, the residence boasts a captivating “transitional design that radiates a seamless blend of sophistication and comfort,” as eloquently stated in the listing represented by Morgan Trent of AKG, Christie’s International Real Estate. The property, introduced to the market recently, has garnered attention for its exceptional offerings.
Characterized by its dual-height foyer, illuminated by a cascading skylight, the residence presents an elegant sculptural staircase that commands attention. A cozy living room, complete with a fireplace and retractable glass doors leading to the outdoors, offers an inviting ambiance for relaxation.
The culinary domain is no less impressive, featuring a formal dining room alongside a custom-built kitchen, replete with bespoke cabinetry, a convenient butler’s pantry, and a charming breakfast nook for leisurely moments.
Spanning across the residence are nine bedrooms and a remarkable total of 10 full bathrooms. Noteworthy is the primary suite, boasting dual walk-in closets, two luxurious bathrooms, and an adaptable nook ideal for an office or nursery, as showcased in the listing. Four additional bedrooms grace the upper level, complemented by two bedrooms downstairs. Moreover, a separate two-bedroom guest house with a fully-equipped kitchen and a comfortable living area offers versatility and additional accommodation.
Enhancing the allure of this remarkable estate are an array of top-notch amenities. A state-of-the-art home theater, a soothing sauna, and a recently unveiled gym complete with a basketball court—accentuated with the initials “MB”—underscore the commitment to a lavish lifestyle. The latter facility comes with an attached bathroom and convenient roll-up doors.
Outside, an enchanting zero-edge pool and spa are complemented by a sunken fire pit, a chic cabana, an outdoor kitchen, and even a meticulously landscaped putting green. The property further offers two garages, catering to automotive enthusiasts.
Mr. Betts, a former Boston Red Sox player who was traded to the Dodgers in 2020, boasts a stellar career that includes two World Series victories and six prestigious Gold Glove Awards, the latest of which was claimed in 2022.
As the curtains rise on this exceptional real estate offering, representatives for Mr. Betts have not yet responded to inquiries for comments.
