Former Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia has put his lavish island oasis in Newport Beach, California on the market for $9.2 million.
The Tuscan-style 4-bed, 3.5-bath villa sits on a prime corner lot on Little Balboa Island’s East Bay Front, offering unobstructed water views. Behind the beveled glass entryway lies 2,393 square feet of living space accented by brick floors, wrought iron railings, and Old World charm.
The main level holds two bedrooms, a travertine-clad bathroom, and a spacious family room opening up to the private dock via a brick patio. Upstairs, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-concept living area with natural light and showcase the home’s bay vistas.
The gourmet kitchen satisfies any chef’s desires with a massive center island, commercial-grade appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The lavish primary suite features a sitting nook, fireplace, dual closets, and spa-like bath.
Outdoors, a rooftop entertaining deck with built-in BBQ and fireplace takes full advantage of the home’s panoramic views. The private courtyard patio contains an elevator for easy grocery delivery, half bath, and outdoor shower.
Scioscia, who won two World Series with the Dodgers and managed the Angels to their only World Series championship in 2002, purchased the home in 2003. After custom upgrades over the years, the turnkey property promises a resort-style lifestyle.
