Ex-Angel Gary Matthews Jr. is ready to play ball for Corona del Mar home
Former Angels outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. appears ready to cash in on the current seller’s market in Orange County. He’s listed his home in Corona del Mar for $3.995 million, a $400,000 increase from when he last had it up for sale three years ago.
Built in 1961, the shake-sided traditional sits behind walls and gates and has a swimming pool with multiple waterfall features in the front courtyard. French doors and picture windows along the rear of the home bring ocean views inside.
The 3,000 square feet of single-story living space include a dazzling-white kitchen with Calacatta gold countertops, an office, three bedrooms and 2.75 bathrooms. Beamed tongue-and-groove ceilings top a great room with a fireplace. The master suite is outfitted with a cedar-lined walk-in closet and an updated bathroom.
There’s also an attached two-car garage.
The property last sold a decade ago for $3.05 million, records show. In February, based on 16 sales, the median sales price for single-family homes in the area was $2.55 million, up 3.8% year over year, according to CoreLogic.
Mark Taylor and Dylan Mason of Compass hold the listing.
Matthews, 42, played for nine teams in 12 big league seasons, including stints with the Angels, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers and New York Mets. He is the son of former baseball player Gary Matthews.
