Mike Scioscia, former Los Angeles Angels manager, just listed his luxurious island home in Southern California.
The 2,393-square-foot, four-bedroom, 3.5-bath property is right on the water in Newport Beach, CA.
Scioscia and his wife picked up the property in 2003 for $3 million, according to the Orange County Register, and made improvements over the years.
This luxury villa is apparently inspired by Tuscan design and sits on the desirable Little Balboa Island. Take a look at the pretty details inside.
Traditional touches abound throughout the beautiful dwelling: Brick in the foyer and wrought iron on the staircase railings are among the many luxe flourishes. A spacious great room, with a fireplace and large picture windows, opens into a dining space and an elegant kitchen.
The updated cook space is filled with high-end materials, including custom cabinets, quartzite counters, a walk-in pantry, and a suite of professional stainless appliances from such brands as Viking and Thermador. There’s also a prep sink, wine fridge, and even a pizza oven.
A lofty ceiling with beams, a window seat, fireplace, and dual closets make the primary bedroom particularly inviting. Marble counters fill the main bath, along with a skylight and double vanities. The home also has an elevator, a big family room with built-in cabinetry, a wet bar, gym, and a roof deck with panoramic views.
Many improvements have been made recently, including the addition of new hardwood floors, dual-paned windows, fresh crown molding, and motorized window shades. Outside, a boater’s paradise awaits, with a dock, patio space, and a shower for quick rinsing after a day on the water.
Scioscia started in the major leagues as a catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he played for a decade, winning two World Series championships with the team in 1981 and 1988.
He continued to coach for the team after his playing career ended; but he’s best known for his time with the Angels, managing the club from 2000 to 2018.
Known as the winningest manager in Angels history, his accomplishments included leading the team to the playoffs seven times and to a World Series championship in 2002.
