NHL Great Wayne Gretzky Sells Stunning L.A. Estate for $6M

Built in 2008, Wayne Gretzy and wife Janet have parted ways with their six-bedroom, five-bathroom home, located in a posh gated community in the Westlake district of L.A.

The design of the home was reportedly based on elements of various boutique hotels in which the Gretzkys stayed, incorporating their favourite aspects into the custom-built 8,711-square-foot home, which (according to the listing) reflects Gretzky’s “meticulous persona” and elegance. This is certainly evident in this tranquil outdoor seating area overlooking the backyard pool.

The modern kitchen is spacious and open, with an informal eating area overlooked by a stone fireplace, above which rests a widescreen TV inset into the mantel.

The kitchen is centred around a huge island, with light-brown marble used liberally on countertops and backsplashes throughout, while the wide-planked wood floors and deer antler artwork (a recurring motif throughout the home) add a rustic touch.

The living room – sporting some holiday decorating in this photo – displays the home’s European sensibility, evident in the elaborate moulding, wainscoting and coffered ceilings.

A massive crystal chandelier partners with exposed wood beams and dramatic black paint, while sliding glass doors open to the outdoor patio and pool area.

Old-world is definitely the theme in this library/office, bursting with dark wood details, fireplace, built-in wine racks and the stunning stamped ceiling, reminiscent of Victorian-era tin ceilings.

The master bedroom is all about comfort and luxury, with yet another fireplace and massive flatscreen TV built into the wall above. Sliding glass doors open to the pool deck, while an understated chandelier hangs from the coffered ceiling.

The entrance foyer offers a grand introduction to the home, with its meticulous moulding and classic sensibilities.

The master bathroom is a relaxing oasis, featuring walk-in steam shower, soaker tub and dry sauna.

The formal dining room exudes old-style Hollywood elegance, boasting such unique elements as a painted wall mural of a palm tree and a feathered chandelier that resembles palm fronds.

The entry to the Gretzky estate features a gorgeous fountain, a hint of the refined elegance that awaits within.
