Retired first baseman Wally Joyner played in the MLB for over 15 years and made nearly $40 million over the course of his career. The All-Star is now selling his 40-acre equestrian estate in Utah for $7.9 million. Joyner, 56, moved to the home in 2002, shortly after retiring from baseball. Joyner’s wife, Lesley, and their four daughters all ride horses competitively, and the property will likely be most interesting to an equestrian-focused family. It features an 18,600-square-foot indoor riding arena, 20,000-square-foot outdoor arena, round pen, 22 heated indoor stalls, 11 outdoor stalls, tack room and office, hay storage, and shavings garage. Outside, there are riding trails that connect to public land near Maple Mountain in Mapleton, UT—roughly an hour from Salt Lake City. In designing the house, the Joyners made the unconventional decision to corral off part of their massive horse barn and build a 7,300-square-foot luxury home inside it. The home’s double front doors open to a sitting area with a two-story ceiling and stacked-stone fireplace. A painting of three horses hangs over the fireplace mantel. Just off the entrance is the kitchen, which has dark wood cabinets that match the hardwood floor, a center island, industrial-style gas range, and dining area. The master bedroom comes with a fireplace, and windows looking out to the patio. The master bath has dual sinks and separate shower and tub. There’s an entertainment room with a pool table, wet bar, jukebox, and irreverent paintings of dogs in military regalia. The home gym has a “Star Wars” pinball machine, and Joyner jerseys from the California Angels, Kansas City Royals, and San Diego Padres. The home office is decorated with photos, awards, and magazine covers from his career. The listing notes that the home’s three bedrooms each have windows that look out to the indoor riding arena. Outside, there’s a pair of man-made ponds—one with a waterfall, and the other serving as a holding area for the irrigation system. The home’s garage holds at least 10 cars. Joyner made a bold entrance during his 1986 rookie year, racking up 22 home runs and 100 RBI, becoming the first rookie to get voted to the All-Star game by fans. That year, fans of the California Angels (later renamed the Anaheim Angels, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and finally, the Los Angeles Angels) would call their stadium “Wally World” after Joyner.

Lakefront properties just might be America’s best kept real estate secret. When looking for a house on the water, many buyers instinctively gaze out at the ocean. But coastal property is limited to where the waves are, leading to fewer offerings and potentially sky-high prices. (Malibu, anyone?) But looking for a lakeside home opens up a huge interior swath of the country where bodies of water abound. In fact, we recently took a deep dive into the nation’s top lake towns with affordable properties. We decided to wade into the waterfront and find luxurious lake houses currently on the market. Here are nine of our favorites—c’mon in, the water’s fine! (OK, it’s actually a bit chilly, but still.) 3905 Lake Washington Blvd N, Renton, WAPrice: $14 million ——-- 1019 E Hells Gate Dr, Possum Kingdom Lake, TXPrice: $6.4 million ——-- 919 Westpoint Rd, Lake Oswego, ORPrice: $4,198,000 ——-- 1688 Highway 50, Glenbrook, NVPrice: $9 million ——-- 57 W Shore Rd, Washington, CTPrice: $1,995,000 ——-- 117 Golf Course Rd, Copake, NYPrice: $1,795,000 ——-- 1474-1478 Sunset View Rd, East Gull Lake, MNPrice: $1.7 million ——-- 960 W Harbor View Dr, Coeur d’Alene, IDPrice: $1.2 million ——-- 58 Monterey Dr, Branson, MOPrice: $1,140,000 The post Summer’s Not Over Yet! Here Are 9 Amazing Lakeside Retreats Worth Diving Into appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/lake-houses-worth-diving-into/ Anyone who’s into surf, sand, and tropical drinks year-round will love this new listing in Key West, FL. In addition to the enviable setting, the home has two claims to fame. It belongs to NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt Jr., and its renovation was featured on HGTV sister station DIY, in a four-part series called “Renovation Realities: Dale Jr. & Amy.” The TV exposure let potential buyers know exactly what they were getting in this 150-year-old historical home, and offers raced in. After less than two weeks on the market, the $2.6 million home has a sale pending. The Earnhardts made the place totally turnkey. Dale enjoys tinkering with home renovations when he’s not tinkering with race cars, and Amy is an accomplished interior designer. Put them together to renovate a home they purchased several years ago and add a network willing to shoot a four-episode series—and you have TV gold. When the Earnhardts bought the home in 2015 for $1.2 miliion, it was dilapidated. They had toyed with the idea of renovating it, but the time, expense, and complications of dealing with the local historical society were intimidating. But after Dale retired from racing and DIY offered a series, the project became more appealing. The couple also realized they could hire experts to handle tasks outside of their areas of expertise. So what did the photogenic couple do to the place? Everything! First they shored up the foundation and flooring, then they reconfigured the ground floor to add more open space and a full bath and guest bedroom. The home now has three bedrooms and 3.5 baths and measures 1,980 square feet. Next they tackled the kitchen, living room, and dining room and added gorgeous wood floors, French doors, state-of-the-art appliances, and beach-chic design details. They then moved upstairs and created two bedroom suites. Finally, they turned their attention to the backyard, where they put in a pool and spa, added a wood deck, and built a covered dining pavilion and kitchen. They even put their initials on a concrete slab to commemorate their work. Now that it’s finished, why are the couple zooming away? The home was never intended to be their long-term homestead. “It was something they could do together,” says listing agent Deborah Cardenas of Sotheby’s International Realty. “If you watched any of the episodes, you could see how much fun and hard work Dale and Amy put into lovingly restoring this home.” “Our goal was to restore part of our favorite getaway (Key West), and we thoroughly enjoyed bringing the home back to its glory,” the couple told us. “In addition, we received an offer we just couldn’t refuse!” Now that they’ve got a taste of the joys of renovation, will they do it again? It’s doubtful. “We don’t have any plans to do this again,” Dale told ET. “You never say never, but this basically was the perfect situation where we had the property, we were interested in physically being involved in the renovation, and HGTV was interested in filming it and putting it out to the public. This was kind of a unique, one-off.” The post Buyers Race to Purchase Key West Home Dale Earnhardt Jr. Renovated on TV appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/dale-earnhardt-jr-key-west-renovation/ The basic white siding and burnt-orange, louvered shutters on this Los Angeles house plainly say “American 1950s residential traditional,” says homeowner Dan Brunn, an architect. But step inside to find a two-story living room with bleached wood floors and white walls punctuated with bold, contemporary artwork. The sleek, minimalist interiors satisfy Mr. Brunn’s modern aesthetic, while the nondescript exterior lets his home fit into the small, older Brookside neighborhood of Los Angeles. “I thought, ‘Why mess with something if it’s OK?’ ” recalls Mr. Brunn, 40, who spent about $500,000 in a yearlong renovation. The real-estate recovery in recent years has triggered the rise of undercover luxury homes—properties with modest exteriors and opulent interiors. Owners in gentrifying urban neighborhoods, historic districts and traditional suburbs are taking a less-is-more approach to their exteriors, opting for subtlety, normalcy and privacy. “It’s the end of the statement house,” says Tineke Triggs, an interior designer in San Francisco who says most of her clients now want designs that don’t flaunt their exteriors. In Austin, Texas, Kelly and Carlos Gonzalez, didn’t want their brand new 3,000-square-foot home to stand out among the homes in the historic Bouldin Creek neighborhood. To that end, the front façade of the farmhouse features white, composite clapboards, modest-size windows and a traditional roofline. On the back of the house, however, walls of windows, a geometric deck and a third-floor master bedroom make a modern statement. Interior finishes include Carrera marble, custom-wood floors and reclaimed wood beams, she adds “I wasn’t trying to woo visitors, I just wanted to blend in with the neighborhood,” says Ms. Gonzalez, 44, a stay-at-home mom who is also an interior designer. Her husband, also 44, is a medical-device sales executive. The couple spent about $1 million on construction, with Ms. Gonzalez acting as the general contractor. New construction proves especially difficult to create a look that fits in, says architect Carina Coel, who worked with the Gonzalez family. She also suggests facades with a low profile and standard-size doors and windows. She stays away from using pricey materials that can be spotted from the curb, such exotic woods, stone, heavy steel frames or glass. “I want to use materials that are kind of classic,” she says. In the past few years, she has had several clients interested in a more pared-down look after “a lot of pushback” from neighborhood groups averse to more modern, showy construction, she adds. “I started to like the house,” Mr. Gilbert, 62, a former music executive who now owns a bar and other real estate in town. So he added an in-ground pool, new lighting and a screened-in porch. He also moved in his art and furniture collection, which includes a piece by minimalist artist Donald Judd and vintage Le Corbusier chairs. This year he finished the basement to include a large bathroom with a soaking tub and a workout area. For the exterior, though, he simply repainted the siding and added landscaping for more privacy. “The façade was left simple and plain,” says Mr. Gilbert, 62, who estimates the renovations cost about $250,000. “The house doesn’t flaunt [the amenities] in any way,” adds Louisville architect Jeff Rawlins, who worked with Mr. Gilbert on the renovations. In the back of the home, Mr. Rawlins designed high walls to prevent onlookers from seeing the pool area in the renovated backyard from the alley. “It’s sort of like a little oasis. He has everything he needs,” says Mr. Rawlins. Adding trees helped the house blend in from the curb, he says. The low-key look may hurt homeowners when it comes time to sell. From the street, spotting undercover gems isn’t easy for potential buyers. Trey Phillips, real-estate agent at Moreland Properties in Austin, urges house hunters to look beyond the facade’s design and instead examine the exterior materials used. “The quality of windows and doors will tell you a lot,” says Mr. Phillips. When listing a home, Mr. Phillips highlights construction elements that may not be apparent to buyers, such as roof quality, the construction of walls and things like solid-wood versus hollow-core doors. Still, nondescript facades risk boring potential buyers. In a survey of 6,911 real-estate agents conducted earlier this year, 94% of respondents suggested improving the home’s curb appeal before putting it up for sale, according to a the National Association of Realtors. Landscape maintenance, an overall landscape upgrade and lawn care were projects most likely to appeal to buyers and add resale value to the home. As noted by Kimberly Rino, an agent with Core Real Estate Group in Los Angeles: “When you pull up it looks like you’re going to visit your grandma,” she says. “That can be a tough sell.” The post The Secretly Stylish Interiors of Undercover Luxury Homes appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/secretly-stylish-interiors-undercover-luxury-homes/ What’s in a name? Well, when it comes to neighborhoods, it’s something that could actually signify how much homes within it are worth. And we found the data to prove it! Perhaps not surprisingly, the highest average home values in America were found in neighborhoods with beachy-sounding monikers, according to a recent report from Porch. The online home improvement marketplace included only names mentioned at least 25 times in neighborhoods as defined by the U.S. Census. And not all waterfront words are created equal. Average property values in neighborhoods with the word “island” in them are the highest, at $440,386. And yes, this too makes plenty of sense. Who wouldn’t want to escape the grind on some scenic isle? The word was followed by “beach,” at an average $423,325; “harbor,” at $416,332; “hills,” at $396,472; and “village,” at $341,997. Rounding out the top 10 were “canyon,” “cove,” “bay,” “San,” and “gardens.” “Certainly, an island, beach, or harbor are likely waterfront locations or near the beach, and those areas typically have higher home values anyway,” says Porch Project Manager Angela Skane. Overall, the most common local monikers found across the nation were “lake,” “city,” “park,” “west,” and “valley.” (Who knew there were that many valleys?) Names “do influence whether or not an area is the kind of place buyers would like to buy into,” Skane says. “A lot of these names are common in movies and TV shows. After all, there was an entire show about rich kids called ‘The Hills.’” Yes, indeed. Which neighborhood names had some of the lowest home values?Homes located in neighborhoods with military- and color-related names (basically anything not coastal-sounding) had the lowest property values, according to the report. The worst name for folks hoping to be equity-rich was “fort.” Average home values in neighborhoods with that moniker were only $109,116. “Fort” was followed by “junction,” at an average $115,268; “rock,” at $115,395; “springs,” at $121,470; and “Las,” at $126,281. The rest of these 10 were “white,” “blue,” “mills,” “union,” and “mount.” But don’t let a name stop you from buying the home of your dreams. In the tony Brooklyn, NY, neighborhood of Fort Greene, the median home price is a whopping $1,725,000. So exceptions do indeed abound. The neighborhood names where homes are often undervaluedBuyers looking for smart investments may want to consider neighborhoods with the words “acres,” “oaks,” “lakes,” and “green” in their names. These properties tend to be valued a little under the average home price of an area—despite residents having above-average incomes. That means these homes may be more likely to appreciate. The post The Neighborhood Names With the Highest—and Lowest—Home Prices appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/neighborhood-names-with-highest-lowest-values/ One of the glorious things about being wealthy is that if you see something you like, you buy it, regardless of what you already have. Rocker Adam Lambert has done just that, having recently purchased yet another Sunset Strip party pad for $6.5 million. He still needs to find a buyer for his other fab home, which is quietly listed for just under $4 million. We can’t fault his latest purchase: He scored a deal on this Los Angeles home, which was originally listed for $7.9 million. It was sold by a corporate entity affiliated with Avril Lavigne’s latest love, Phillip Sarofim. Shed no tears for Sarofim—he stands to inherit a Texas energy fortune worth billions, according to Variety. Lambert’s latest pad is a three-story contemporary with five bedrooms and six baths. It features an open floor plan with a living area, dining area, and kitchen all flowing freely together. The L-shaped great room is punctuated by a floating staircase. Fleetwood doors open both the modern kitchen and the living room to a backyard with a corresponding L-shaped infinity pool and spa, a generous lounging area with faux grass, and a built-in barbecue and bar. The backyard is bordered by gleaming white walls, a verdant hillside, and mature foliage, ranking the place high on the privacy scale. Most of the bedrooms are en suite, but the master bath is something special. It has a private balcony with disappearing floor-to-ceiling glass doors in front of the soaking tub, as well as a steam shower. The master bedroom has a balcony, fireplace, and two walk-in closets. All the balconies have glass railings, for unobstructed views of the city below. Other fabulous features include a climate-controlled wine cabinet and a basement home theater. Lambert was the runner-up on the eighth season of “American Idol,” in 2009, and has gone on to become one of the singing competition show’s greatest successes. On his recent Queen + Adam Lambert global tour, he performed Freddie Mercury faves, as well as his own solo hits, with the members of Queen backing him. He’s also released three solo albums and has been a judge on both “American Idol” and “The X Factor.” The post Rock Star Adam Lambert Rolls Into a New Sunset Strip Home appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/adam-lambert-buys-new-sunset-strip-digs/ An award-winning Mid-Century Modern home from 1954 snagged the title of most popular home on realtor.com® this week. Located in Savannah, GA, the home’s design was inspired by the work of developer Joseph Eichler, who built modern tract housing in California in the 1950s and 60s. The Georgia peach has been preserved and restored over the years, and its distinctive style practically screams California. But the main difference from the Golden State? The shockingly low price for such a gem: only $398,000! This week’s runner-up is owned by former NFL tight end Coby Fleener. He was dropped by the New Orleans Saints in the off-season after some concerns about injury and concussion, so now the free agent is ready to let go of his gorgeous Louisiana home. Other highlights this week include a modern masterpiece in Oregon, a restored farm house from 1880 in Illinois, or a humble yurt in Colorado sure to inspire plenty of glamping dreams.

And yes, there’s a helipad—as well as two docks and 12 car bays. No matter how you get around, you’re covered. But we’re betting you’ll never want to leave this Florence, AL, home, which is located on a private cove off Wilson Lake. This beautifully preserved Mid-Century Modern masterpiece, which has had the same owner since it was constructed in 1957, offers a treasure trove of original architectural details, including a “Jetsons”-esque wet bar overlooking the living room. The U-shaped kitchen features white countertops and plain wooden doors. It’s one room a new owner might want to change. “It was designed for a housekeeper; that kitchen was not designed for the owners,” says listing agent Shirley Neese. Bonus: Opening up the kitchen walls will reveal a jaw-dropping view of the cove and Lake Wilson beyond. No matter where you stand in the house, there’s a lake view waiting to take your breath away. “Potential buyers love the master bedroom that faces the water,” Neese says. The home features wood paneling throughout, and honeycomb-inspired screens give the long hallways a “magical forest” ambiance. The graceful curving staircase is a work of art, offset by mirrors and reflective glass. At its base is a retro-chic room with an entertainment area. The post Lakeside Luxury: $3.9M Alabama Estate Is Mid-Century Modern Perfection appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/alabama-mid-century-modern-lakeside-estate/ An oceanfront villa in the Hamptons on the market for $38 million is this week’s most expensive new listing on realtor.com®. Beauty entrepreneur Adrien Arpel has owned the beautiful Southampton, NY, home for the past 37 years, according to the Wall Street Journal. Available for sale for the first time ever, the beach retreat was rebuilt by Arpel and her husband, Ronald Newman, in 2002. It has since been renovated two more times, the Journal notes. The sparkling kitchen and bathrooms got a face-lift just last year. The stylish estate sits on Meadow Lane, which Forbes once dubbed “Billionaire Lane.” Notable residents there include businessman David Koch, designer Calvin Klein, and hotelier Ian Schrager. The 7,250-square-foot home has seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. It comes with 8 acres and fronts both the Atlantic Ocean and Shinnecock Bay. The modern floor plan includes an elevator that goes between the two levels. The elegant main floor features a double-height entry with a grand staircase, a living room with beach access, a dining room with a high ceiling, a library, a newly remodeled kitchen, and an elevator. The spacious master suite includes a glamorous new bathroom—maybe not a surprise given the homeowner is a cosmetics guru who appreciates lots of mirrors and flattering light. The master suite has access to the elevated pool, and features both garden and ocean views. The grounds include English gardens, a gazebo, pool, and tennis court. Arpel created her own brand of skin-care products, which she marketed first at department stores (where she apparently introduced the makeover) and later on HSN. Newman died in 2015. According to the Journal, Arpel owns homes in Manhattan and Palm Beach, FL. Tim Davis of Corcoran holds the listing.
