MLB Legend Albert Pujols Scores $8.8M in Sale of Majestic Irvine Mansion

Retired baseball star Albert Pujols has recently sold his luxurious mansion in Irvine, California, for $8.8 million, following several years on the market.

Palatial Estate in Shady Canyon

Pujols' former residence, located in the exclusive Shady Canyon neighborhood, boasts over 9,200 square feet of living space on a spacious half-acre lot. The property is gated and features a grand stone and stucco manor, boasting 8 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, and a basement converted into a private theater and lounge.

Purchase and Listing History

The mansion was originally purchased by Pujols for $5.5 million in 2012 during his tenure with the Los Angeles Angels. Despite an initial listing price of $7.75 million in 2016, the home failed to sell. Subsequently, in June, Pujols re-listed the property for $9.98 million.

Tidy Profit Despite Falling Short

Although the final sale price did not meet the latest asking price, it still resulted in a profitable transaction for Pujols. The mansion offers a range of amenities appealing to athletes and celebrities, including a spacious master retreat and a lighted sport court.

Alluring Location and Features

Situated near John Wayne Airport and Pujols' former stomping grounds at Angel Stadium, the mansion's prime location adds to its appeal. Its opulent features and privacy make it an attractive option for those seeking a lavish lifestyle in Orange County.
