Looking to score $10-million sale

- By Neal J. Leitereg and Jack Flemming

Reggie Bush is off to the races on the Westside of Los Angeles. The Southern California football star and his wife, Lilit, have put their Pacific Palisades home of five years on the market for $9.995 million.

The contempora­ry-style house — taken down to the studs and rebuilt about a decade ago — combines glass, stone and polished wood surfaces to striking effect.

On the ground floor, a pivoting glass-and-marble-front door gives way to an open-concept floor plan. Bi-folding walls on two floors bring in expansive views of the ocean while connecting indoor-outdoor living spaces.

The estimated 7,500 square feet of living space includes a dining room, an office, a separate gym and a living room with blackout curtains that converts to a home theater. A row of skylights tops the gleaming kitchen, which is equipped with custom cabinetry and a wide island/bar. There’s also a temperatur­e-controlled wine cellar.

The expansive master suite includes a private wraparound terrace, a fireplace and a spa-like bathroom. There are five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms in all.

The covered patio is equipped with heaters for year-round living and entertaini­ng. The infinityed­ge swimming pool and spa run along an embankment on the edge of the property. A firepit, a built-in barbecue and a deck/lounge area with custom underlight­ing create additional living space outside.

Bush, 34, starred at Helix High School in La Mesa before earning All-American honors twice, a Doak Walker Award and a Heisman Trophy (later forfeited) as a member of the USC football program.

He was drafted second overall by the New Orleans Saints in the 2006 NFL draft and also played for the Dolphins, Lions, 49ers and Bills over 11 seasons. He was a first-team All-Pro selection with New Orleans in 2008.

In March, Bush was hired by
