MLB All-Star Christian Yelich is the new owner of a 2018-built contemporary in Paradise Valley, Arizona. The left-fielder paid $6.5 million for the Mediterranean-tinged 6,425 square-footer; the closing price registered at one dollar above ask.

A warm-weather retreat, the home is packed with amenities. The list of indoor treats includes an owner’s suite with a pair of fairly large walk-in closets, a pair of baths, and a steam shower; a game room; a media room; and an office. Outdoor is a pool area with a fire feature and a pool house.

The single-level house sports modern, Mediterranean, and maybe a whisper of French country house influence; the result is an appealing amalgam that touches on a variety of comfortingly homey tropes. The entry is all modern, though, an invitingly transparent passage that foreshadows the optional glass walls that open that shared space to the outdoor living area, with a transition room between. Dark-stained ceiling beams, the odd barn door, and natural-toned plank hardwood add a touch of rusticity to the living style.
