Newport Beach Mansion of Red Sox Ace John Lackey

Despite missing the 2012 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, John Lackey remains in the Boston Red Sox’s rotation plans for 2013. He still has a ways to go before returning to the mound in Beantown, but in the meantime, the righty is doing a bit of housecleaning on the opposite coast. Lackey has put his Newport Beach, CA home on the market, listing the luxe, 9,100-square-foot oceanfront compound for just under $10 million.

Built by architect Bob White in 2007, Lackey’s compound enjoys 180-degree views from a prime half-acre location. The property includes two residences, a main home and a guest bungalow which combine to offer a total of five bedrooms and seven baths.

The interior features custom travertine flooring, custom cedar closets and an interior courtyard, while amenities include iPad controlled audio-video systems, an entertainer’s bar and a theater room. Found within the Crystal Cove community, residents are also treated to conveniences ranging such as tennis courts, workout facilities, and a shopping and dining promenade.
