Justin Upton is officially on deck in Southern California, where he’s hoping to score a home-run real estate deal. As first reported by the Orange County Register, the former Anaheim Angels outfielder is asking a speck under $6.8 million for his sleekly designed Newport Beach spread, which is listed by Annie Clougherty of Compass.
Records show Upton and his wife Ashley paid $4.7 million back in spring 2020 for the modern farmhouse-style digs, which were originally designed by architect Randall Coombs and later reimagined by Scottsdale-based DeCesare Design Group. Completed in 2019, the white wood-sided structure offers five bedrooms and seven baths in almost 6,000 square feet of living space boasting reclaimed oak hardwood floors, Lutron lighting and brass fixtures throughout, plus a striking floating staircase adorned with solid oak treads.
An open-concept living and dining area flows seamlessly to an al fresco entertaining terrace.

Resting amid a parcel spanning less than a quarter of an acre, in the desirable Dover Shores neighborhood near the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve, the three-story house is highlighted upon entry by a sunken living room with a fireplace. Barn doors slide open to reveal a cozy den, and a family room and dining area connect to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with lava stone countertops, a butcher block-topped eat-in island and Thermador appliances.
Upstairs, a luxe master retreat comes complete with a fireplace, sitting area, private balcony, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath sporting dual vanities, a soaking tub and separate shower; and down on the lower level is a custom glass-encased wine cellar, as well as a surround-sound screening room flanked by a full wet bar equipped with a beer froster, ice maker, refrigerator and popcorn machine.

Outdoors, the turf-clad backyard hosts an expansive terrace ideal for al fresco entertaining with a built-in barbecue and fire-pit, and per the listing, plenty of room to add a pool. There’s also an attached three-car garage and moutcourt out front.
Upton, 36, became a free agent in 2022. He began his professional baseball career in 2007 with the Arizona Diamondbacks after being chosen as the first pick of the 2005 draft right out of high school, and went on to join the Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Angels and Seattle Mariners. He’s been selected to four All-Star teams and won three Silver Slugger Awards.
