Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani buys La Cañada Flintridge mansion from Adam Carolla for $7.85 million
Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani just put down roots in the L.A. area, dropping $7.85 million on a modern mansion in La Cañada Flintridge.
The massive purchase comes about five months after Ohtani inked a blockbuster 10-year contract with the Dodgers worth $700 million.
The Times confirmed the deal through real estate records. A real estate source familiar with the neighborhood, who declined to be named, confirmed that Ohtani is the buyer.
The seller is comedian Adam Carolla, who bought it for $7.327 million in 2018. He told the Wall Street Journal that he was selling the place after divorcing his wife, Lynette Paradise.
Ohtani will have about a 20-minute commute to Dodger Stadium, which is about 13 miles from his new home.
At $7.85 million, it’s one of the priciest sales ever in the foothill community. Carolla listed the house last summer for $8.99 million before an October price cut brought the tag down to $8.35 million.
Built in 2013, the three-story home spans 7,327 square feet and sits on nearly an acre. The modern exterior gives way to Midcentury-inspired living spaces, which combine stone, glass and wood under skylights and clerestory windows.
Highlights include a kitchen with custom cabinetry, an indoor-outdoor living room and amenities such as a movie theater, a sauna, a gym and a basketball court. Spread throughout are five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, including a primary suite with a balcony and spa tub.
