Sept. 28--Jim Rome, host of the sports radio talk show "The Jim Rome Show," has sold his home in Laguna Beach for $4.95 million.
He bought the home in 2010 for $5,087,500, public records show.
Set on a promontory above Thousand Steps Beach, the renovated traditional-style home has a dutch-door entry, cathedral-style ceilings and wide teak-lined decks. Three floors of living center on coastline and ocean views.
Among common areas is an open-plan living room that opens to a modern kitchen with a glass backsplash and an adjacent dining room. A family/media room features a kitchenette, wet bar and covered terrace.
Occupying the entire top floor, the master suite has a private balcony, a walk-in closet and a bathroom with dual vanities. A total of three bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms are within 2,500 square feet of interiors.
Rome, who owns other property in Orange and Riverside counties, put the house on the market in 2013 for $6.8 million. More recently, it was listed for sale at $4.995 million, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
Tim Smith of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage was the listing agent. Christa Lee Canaday of RE/MAX Fine Homes represented the buyer in the sale.
Rome, 50, has had television shows on Fox Sports Net, ESPN, CBS Sports and Showtime, which currently airs his sports-talk series "Jim Rome on Showtime." His syndicated radio show "The Jim Rome Show" has been a mainstay since the mid-1990s.
