Barry Bonds hit a lot of home runs in his MLB career, but it looks like someone else has hit one out of the park by selling the slugger’s one-time mansion in Beverly Park for around 20 percent more than Bonds did back in 2014.
Bonds’ former home recently sold for $26.5 million, just about two years after the former All-Star offloaded the Italian-inspired compound for $22 million in 2014.
The 1.85-acre estate holds a 17,100-square-foot main house, a two-story guesthouse, a swimming pool, a sports court, and an olive grove. Built in 1998, the manse boasts imported limestone columns, silk carpeting, crystal chandeliers, and Italian travertine flooring. The opulence continues with walls of aquariums surrounding the fireplace in the living room.
Other amenities of the massive seven-bedroom, 13-bathroom house include a billiards room, a walnut-paneled office, a gym, a home theater with tiered seating, and a wine cellar.
The compound was most recently listed for $31 million after initially seeking a tidy $36 million when it originally hit the market in 2015, not too long after Bonds sold it.
