The former NHL defenseman Oleg Tverdovsky may have been away from the league for more than a decade now, but he’ll light the lamp again—if he manages to get his unusual $8,888,888 asking price for a luxe hillside home in Bel-Air, CA.

Tverdovsky has owned the modern residence for a little under two years, purchasing it in May 2019 for $6,989,000. With its ocean and mountain views and its sleek and unique design, it’s easy to see why he was attracted to it.

The four-story home built in 2017 features five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two half-bathrooms on 6,112 square feet of living space.

While it’s a large home, it feels even more spacious, thanks to walls of glass, soaring ceilings, and a plethora of skylights.

The home is constructed of steel and glass, with floors of concrete, and the added warmth of organic wood finishes both inside and out.

One of the home’s true highlights is an illuminated gold onyx bar, backed by a wine room with a 315-bottle display, and bordered on one side by a spectacular wood-and-glass staircase.

The hillside lot is steeply terraced, but smart design allows for a raised infinity pool and spa, a rooftop fire pit and cocktail lounge, as well as a number of terraces and decks on each level, designed to take full advantage of the awe-inspiring views.

Other luxe features include an open chef’s kitchen, a state-of-the-art home theater, and a steam room.

The main bedroom, with its large private deck and remarkably modern and spacious bathroom, is also the height of luxury.

Tverdovsky, 44, is a native of Ukraine, and made his NHL debut as a teenager with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 1995. He went on to play for a number of teams and was a member of two squads that won the Stanley Cup, before hanging up his skates after the 2006-07 season.

He’s no rookie when it comes to profitable L.A. real estate deals, having bought another beautiful Bel-Air home for $5.4 million and selling it six years later in 2010, for $7.81 million.
