Mookie Betts, the MLB MVP who’s played with the Red Sox but is currently batting for the Dodgers, listed his West Coast residence this winter with an asking price of $9.995 million. The little compound takes up a .57-acre slice of Encino, and contains nine bedrooms and ten baths across its 9,415 sq. ft. of interiors.

A frontal view of the main house makes for a formal impression; the house’s façade is staunchly symmetrical overall, with massed terrace-capped sections on either side of a central recessed entry, the doors paired with companion multi-pane sidelight windows. There a little Craftsman influence going on in the extended rafters and eaves over the twin garages. A central balcony above the entryway adds the finishing touch.

The home’s interiors bloom nicely into a breathtaking sense of space, with a two-story foyer that’s extended through a skylight and a curved staircase rising to an upper-level overlook. As the single-level ceilings emerge in the den and kitchen, they’re ornamented with coffering, while pleasingly earthy wide-plank adds warmth and texture.

Amenities in and around the home include the two-bed guest house out back; a theater, zero-edge pool and spa, fire pit, cabana, putting green and gym slash basketball court complete a profile of this 2018-built Encino retreat.
