MLB Hall of Famer Eddie Murray is hoping to hit it out of the park with the $4.99-million listing of his Southern California home.
Set on an eight-acre lot, the former first baseman’s Sand Canyon contemporary is defined by an imposing footprint, glass and stacked stone, and a rambling, two-story design.
The house stretches to 13,000 square feet, and contains six bedrooms. Visitors are welcomed via a large circular motor court before entering the residence’s two-story foyer. The foyer is flooded with natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, an unusual touch. It also features a marble staircase with a deco-inflected balustrade.
A warm living room connects to the dining room, creating plenty of space for entertaining. The living room is accented with cherry wood finishes, and opens to a cozy family space.
A great room with a built-in aquarium, a billiards room with a wet bar, an arcade room, and a 750-bottle wine cellar augment the entertainment potential. The large backyard features with a sports court, a swimming pool, and a spa.
Murray played for the Baltimore Orioles for most of his MLB career, helping them to take home a World Series title in 1983.
