Dodgers' Kenley Jansen locks down a new home base in Palos Verdes Estates

Kenley Jansen, closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has bought a home in Palos Verdes Estates for $6.5 million.

Built in 2005, the Spanish-style home includes three levels of living space, multiple balconies and an attached three-car garage. Views from the hedged and gated property take in the city, mountains and ocean.

Coffered-ceilinged living and dining rooms, a center-island kitchen, a wood-paneled den, five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms lie within 6,900 square feet of interior space. A dome-topped family room features a wet bar. For the aches and pains of a 162-game season, there are sauna and steam rooms in the dedicated pool bath.

Outdoors there’s ample patio space, a fire pit and a slate-edged swimming pool with a raised spa. The barbecue station is equipped with two grills and bench seating.

 The property came to market in July for $7.2 million and was more recently listed at $6.9 million, records show. It previously changed hands three years ago for $4.9 million.

Jansen, 30, finished last year tied with Greg Holland for most saves in the National League with 41. The right-handed relief pitcher has made two all-star teams while twice winning the NL’s Trevor Hoffman Reliever of the Year Award in eight seasons with the Dodgers.
