This 3,790 sq. ft., five-bedroom home in Newport Beach was owned until recently by pro golfer Fred Couples. The Masters-winning athlete accepted an offer of $3.25 million for the home, which, according to public records, he picked up in the late winter of 2015.

The property is located in Big Canyon, a guard-gated community, and was constructed in the early 1970s. Its interiors feature a graceful, fluid layout, and an overtly luxurious living style that emphasizes material choices and high-end fixtures; floors are in stone tile and wide-plank hardwood, light fixtures are urbane and contemporary, and the kitchen sports Thermador and Viking appliances.

The master suite is the heart of the home, and features a private sitting room with a fireplace as well as a set of French doors that open to a private patio. In the back of the property, a stone patio with a fire feature establishes a quiet and comfortable atmosphere when the weather’s amenable.
