Skating away from his custom-built Manhattan Beach home is the seasoned hockey player.
Have you always wished to live the life of royalty, that is, the life of a Slovenian hockey player with an abundance of awards behind his puck? This is your opportunity, as the Daily Breeze was the first to disclose that Anze Kopitar, a veteran of the Los Angeles Kings, has been listing his stunning Manhattan Beach spread for sale. Kopitar has lived there for a number of years.
The staggering $37 million asking price is $27 million more than the two-time Stanley Cup champion and his wife Ines paid for two nearby properties nine years ago, in November 2014, before they extensively remodeled the entire property in 2018. If the property sells for even close to the high asking price, it will be a record for the seaside town.
Situated on a double lot and tucked away from a pedestrian-only roadway that runs straight to the beach, the property has a main house with many levels and a separate guesthouse, totaling little over 7,600 square feet of living area with seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms. A climate-controlled wine display, an office, a screening room, a gym, and an elevator are among the notable features.
The main house has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Of them, the living room with its fireplace, lots of built-ins, and doors leading to a fireside balcony with two swinging sofas is particularly striking. The gourmet kitchen, which has two refrigerators, a wine cooler, an eat-in island, a La Cornue range, and an adjacent eating room that opens to a partially enclosed balcony with a grill station, is just around the corner.
There’s also a luxurious master retreat with a walk-in closet and a balcony overlooking the ocean, as well as an opulent bathroom with double vanities, a soaking tub, and a shower; outside, the property has a fully functional Lynx outdoor kitchen complete with two barbecues and a pizza oven, as well as a swimming pool and spa that can be turned into an alfresco entertainment area at the push of a button.
The two-bedroom, two-bath guesthouse with its own living room, kitchen, and roof deck tops it all off. Additionally, there are solar panels and up to five parking spaces with Tesla Powerwalls.
June Emerson of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty is the owner of the listing.
