Former Phillies and Dodgers shortstop Jimmy Rollins found a buyer for his modern Encino mansion.
An undisclosed party paid $9 million for the property at 4111 Valley Meadow Road in Encino’s Royal Oaks gated community in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley, according to listing sites.
Carl Gambino of Compass’ Gambino Group, along with Matt Altman and Josh Altman of Douglas Elliman, represented the seller. Sigal Diamant of Nelson Shelton & Associates Real Estate represented the buyer.
Diamant declined to provide details on the buyer.
Sales of more than $5 million are subject to a 4 percent transfer tax for sellers under Los Angeles’ Measure ULA, which equates to $40,500 in this deal.
Rollins, nicknamed “J-Roll” in his playing days, first placed the property on the market in 2022, listing it for $11.8 million. He paid $8.7 million for the luxe pad in 2018, when it was new.
The Valley Meadow property has a seven-bedroom main house, in addition to a guest home with a total of 10,419 square feet. The compound sits on about half an acre, set behind hedges.
Designed with gatherings in mind, a roughly 3,000-square-foot rooftop lounge offers a bar, entertainment system and views of the San Fernando Valley.
Rollins made his Major League Baseball debut in 2000 for the Philadelphia Phillies. He stayed on with the team for 14 years, with a 2008 World Series win over the Tampa Bay Rays among his career highlights. Rollins later played on the Los Angeles Dodgers for the 2015 season.
