I think the last time I heard about Gary Matthews Jr was that last year he played with the Mets in like 2010 — he’s been completely off the radar ever since, just enjoying retirement I guess. Well now he’s selling his dope Corona Del Mar mansion for 15 mil. This is the kind of house people dream about when wanting to move to California to make something of themselves. Up on a hill with ridiculous views of the ocean and town below.
From the realtor:
Proudly poised on the Irvine Terrace bluff, this newly constructed contemporary masterpiece boasts spanning Balboa Island, Newport Harbor, and Pacific Ocean views stretching to Catalina Island. Inspired by the palette of natural coastal elements and brushed matte finishes, this 6,200+ square foot estate was designed by acclaimed architect Carlton Graham and expertly built by Steve Davidson Construction & Tom Waters in 2013 with pristine attention to every detail. This estate offers an extremely functional floor plan featuring two suites on the ends of each level, with large open living spaces at the center for communal gatherings.
This is one of those houses that doesn’t need tons of cool added features because the view and balcony are enough as it is. Why have a theater or bowling alley when you can be poolside overlooking the ocean for 300 days out of the year?
