SoCal slugger eyes a sale

Cincinnati Reds slugger Mike Moustakas is selling an off- season spot in Malibu, listing the oceanview condo for $ 1.5 million. The Southern California native spent $ 1.27 million on the place in 2014, records show.

Between winning a World Series title with the Kansas City Royals in 2015 and being named AL Comeback Player of the Year two years later, the three- time All- Star still found time to update the home, adding fresh paint and new f loors to the interior.

It’s the smaller of his two homes in Malibu; in 2018, he dropped $ 5.67 million on a twoacre spread with a Mediterraneanstyle home and guesthouse. This one covers just over 1,800 square feet with two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across two stories.

Inside, living spaces offer neutral tones and hardwood f loors. There’s a center- island kitchen, chandelier- topped dining area and living room that opens to a backyard with a Saltillo tile patio and grassy lawn.

Two balconies hang off the second story; one in front overlooks the neighborhood, and one in back takes in views of the ocean past Pacific Coast Highway and Broad Beach.

Moustakas, 32, was a standout at Chatsworth High School before being drafted by the Royals in 2007, helping lead the team to a World Series title over the New York Mets in 2015. After a two- year stint with the Milwaukee Brewers, he signed a four- year deal with the Reds last December worth $ 64 million.

Tami Pardee and Amanda Subatis of Halton Pardee and Partners hold the listing.
