Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani just put down roots in the L.A. area, dropping $7.85 million on a modern mansion in La Cañada Flintridge. The massive purchase comes about five months after Ohtani inked a blockbuster 10-year contract with the Dodgers worth $700 million. The Times confirmed the deal through real estate records. According to the Multiple Listing Service, Ohtani bought the home through a limited liability company called Decopin LLC, which is named after his dog.
Built in 2013, the three-story home spans 7,327 square feet and sits on nearly an acre. The modern exterior gives way to Midcentury-inspired living spaces, which combine stone, glass and wood under skylights and clerestory windows. Highlights include a kitchen with custom cabinetry, an indoor-outdoor living room and amenities such as a movie theater, a sauna, a gym and a basketball court. Spread throughout are five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, including a primary suite with a balcony and spa tub.
