A Private Paradise for the Discerning
Tucked discreetly behind security gates and out of sight from prying eyes, this « statuesque property » emerges through grand entrances, according to the listing from Carl Gambino and Jacob Greenberg with Compass. The home is brand new to the market, having just debuted on Saturday.
Resort-Level Living in Royal Oaks
At the heart of this contemporary compound sits its massive main house, stretching over 11,000 square feet (that’s more than ten average American homes stitched together!) and topped with a sprawling 3,000-square-foot roof deck—perfect for sunset cocktails or a little yoga, if that’s your thing.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a foyer with impossibly high ceilings, leading right into spaces designed for both function and flair:
- A gourmet kitchen featuring double islands and a breakfast nook
- A full home theater
- A glass-enclosed wine room
- An impressive primary suite, complete with a fireplace and its own private terrace
Sounds like every day could feel like a staycation here.
Outdoor Oasis
The walls of glass seamlessly blend the indoors with the meticulously groomed gardens outside, where you’ll find:
- An al fresco dining area
- A built-in barbecue—because, let’s face it, it’s always grilling season in SoCal
- A zero-edge pool and spa for ultimate relaxation
At the far end of this outdoor paradise, and directly opposite the main house, there’s a two-story guesthouse with two bedrooms, ideal for visitors who may never want to leave.
Who’s Owned It—and Who Lives Nearby
Jimmy Rollins, 43, who made his mark with the Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Chicago White Sox, picked up this estate at the end of 2018 for $8.7 million through an LLC, according to PropertyShark records. Since then, he’s enjoyed life in one of the San Fernando Valley’s most coveted enclaves: Royal Oaks, part of Encino, where celebrities like Kelly Clarkson, Joe Jonas, and Sophie Turner have also set up home, according to the Los Angeles Times, which was first to break the story.
So if you’re interested in living fancy, star-adjacent, and supremely secluded, well—now’s your chance. But you might want to start checking those sofa cushions for spare change. Twelve million bucks gets you a slice of the LA good life like no other.
