LOS ANGELES _ Dustin Brown and the L.A. Kings are making another run in the Stanley Cup playoffs, but away from the ice, the star right winger is making a play of a different sort: He and his wife, Nicole, have put their home in Manhattan Beach up for sale at $6.999 million.
Custom-built for Brown and his family four years ago by Matt Morris Development, the East Coast-vibe traditional home is full of character and color. Vibrant wall covering, detailed millwork and bright accent pieces create visual interest from room to room. A custom mudroom scores style points with a row of individual lockers.
The 6,450 square feet of interior space also includes a chef's kitchen with an island and built-in booth seating. The master suite _ among the six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms _ sports a sitting area and a fireplace.
The basement level is set up for entertaining and has a kitchenette with a bar, a movie theater and a game room. Outdoor amenities include a heated patio, a swimming pool and an infrared sauna.
"Dustin and Nicole basically gave us carte blanche to design the house out," said Matt Morris, the developer, who collaborated with interior design firm Lucas Studio on the project. He and Lucas Studio are in the process of building another home for the Brown family. "We had a lot of fun with the first one, so we're collaborating again," he said.
Morris, who is also a real estate agent, and Christa Lyons of Strand Hill Christie's International Real Estate hold the listing. The home's custom furnishings can also be negotiated into the deal.
Brown, 33, has spent his entire 11-year career with the Kings since joining the team as a first-round draft pick in 2003.
The all-star scored a career-high 61 points in 81 games played this season.
He was captain of the Kings teams that won Stanley Cup titles in 2012 and 2014.
