MLB Player Justin Upton Asks $6.8M for a Newport Beach Home Blending Airy and Industrial Vibes

A former player for the Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners and a few other MLB teams, Justin Upton now sits as a free agent–and now his Newport Beach home is, too. Designed by Randall Coombs Architects and reimagined by DeCesare Design Group, the home sits in the Dover Shores enclave and is now on the market asking $6.795 million.

While the exterior may portray the look of an on-trend, modern farmhouse, the interiors may surprise you. Displaying an industrial and open yet cozy feel, the spaces welcome you with reclaimed oak hardwood floors and beams meld with a steel floating staircase that transcends across three floors. The designers also paid special attention to highlighting the outdoor beauty and creating dreamy destinations for entertaining.

“In this area most commonly referred to as Dover Shores, finished basements and subterranean levels are very rare,” says listing agent Annie Clougherty. “2015 Leeward Lane boasts an impressive, fully livable finished entertainer’s basement. Exceptional details include 100-year-old fabricate wood turned wood floors and a tri-level floating staircase with three-inch treads.” A great spot for baseball watch parties, the home has an excellent flow for hosting.

When it comes to the more private spaces, the home’s five bedrooms and six bathrooms provide plenty of room for a family. The light and airy primary suite is in a world of its own, fitted with a walk-in closet, spa-like bathroom with dual sinks and a freestanding tub, and a private terrace.

Annie Clougherty of Compass holds the listing for buyers who think it’s a great catch.
