Phillies Legend Jimmy Rollins Sets Record With Encino Estate Purchase

The former MLB player Jimmy Rollins has made a record-breaking move in Encino, CA, buying a home for $10.65 million—the highest price ever paid in the city, according to the Los Angeles Times. A trust linked to Rollins was recorded as the purchaser, the Times noted. Marc Noah of Sotheby’s International Realty represented the listing.

Now retired, the shortstop suited up for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2015. He left the team to finish his career with the White Sox in 2016.

But the former National League MVP is back in SoCal, setting real estate records instead of racking up on-field stats. So let’s take a look at what he got for his money.

The gated mansion measures almost 15,000 square feet and sits on a half-acre lot. The mansion has eight bedrooms and 12 baths.

The spectacular main level features a home theater, sauna, indoor pool, wine cellar, office, staff quarters, and two separate two-car garages, according to the listing. The second level includes the master suite with dual walk-in closets and bathrooms. There are an additional four en suite bedrooms and a sitting area.

The grounds include a putting green, sport court, barbecue, and pool. The two-story pool house has a kitchen, living room, two beds, and two baths. There’s also a gym.

The Alameda, CA–born All-Star played with the Philadelphia Phillies for the bulk of his career, from 2000 to 2014, and helped the team win the World Series in 2008. He also has a home in Tampa, FL. His New Jersey mansion, where he lived when he played with the Phillies, is still on the market for $799,000.
