Former MLB player and one-time MVP Jimmy Rollins has sold his Los Angeles house for $9 million, closing the deal on Friday, as reported by Mansion Global.
Rollins, 45, primarily known for his tenure as a shortstop with the Phillies, initially purchased the Encino home in 2018 for $8.7 million through a limited liability company, property records reveal.
Although details about the buyer from Friday’s transaction have yet to appear in public records, Rollins first listed the property for sale in October 2022 at $11.75 million. After several price reductions, the most recent listing price was $9.45 million, according to records.
Constructed in 2018, this contemporary estate encompasses 10,419 square feet, featuring a seven-bedroom main house and a separate two-story, two-bedroom guest house. The guest house boasts a spacious living room, its own kitchen, and a patio.
Surrounded by tall hedges and gated, the property occupies a half-acre lot, ensuring a private atmosphere.
The grand double-height foyer leads into expansive living areas that flow out to the backyard, complete with a pool, hot tub, and multiple spaces for entertaining and relaxation.
Additional amenities include state-of-the-art smart-home systems, a home theater, a glass-enclosed wine room, and a sprawling 3,000-square-foot rooftop lounge. Balconies line the second floor.
Representing Rollins in the transaction were Josh Altman and Matt Altman of the Altman Brothers at Douglas Elliman, along with Carl Gambino of the Gambino Group at Compass. The Altmans declined to comment on the sale, while Gambino was unavailable for comment. Sigal Diamant of Nelson Shelton Real Estate acted as the buyer’s representative and did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Having retired from baseball in 2016, Rollins currently serves as an analyst for MLB on TBS and co-chairs the Commissioner’s Ambassador Program, a group of 12 former players involved in various MLB events. A spokesperson for Rollins did not provide a comment.
