Wayne Gretzky to shed town house in Thousand Oaks

Ice hockey great Wayne Gretzky has listed a town house in Thousand Oaks for sale at $1.899 million.

Yes, 99 does happen to be his jersey number, which was retired throughout the National Hockey League when the center retired in 1999. Coincidence -- or a lucky number, perhaps?

Set behind the gates of the Sherwood Country Club, the 3,758-square-foot unit has two fireplaces, four bedrooms and four bathrooms. There are two patios and a balcony. The cul-de-sac location has lake, mountain and valley views.

Gretzky, 52, played in the NHL for two decades before turning to coaching the Phoenix Coyotes. The former Los Angeles King and Hockey Hall of Famer earned the nickname “The Great One” as the leading point scorer in league history.

The NHL this week agreed to pay the Hockey Hall of Famer money he was owed from his time as a part-owner of the Coyotes. The amount has been reported between $7 million and $8 million.

Nicole Van Parys of Engel & Voelkers is the listing agent.
