Former Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star pitcher Darren Dreifort is preparing to sell his Pacific Palisades residence due to health reasons. He shares the home with his spouse, former sports journalist Krystal Fernandez. The couple has enjoyed this Pacific Palisades dwelling since their marriage in 2010, and interestingly, this marks the property’s first appearance on the market since its acquisition 14 years ago for $3 мιllιon, according to public records.

Now available for $8.5 мιllιon, the expansive 7,698-square-foot, three-level abode is listed with Adam Jaret and Ally Jaret from Compass. A virtual tour allows us to explore this charming family home.

Nestled just a block away from the picturesque Asilomar Beach and State Park, known as Monterey Peninsula’s “Refuge by the Sea,” Dreifort’s residence commands a prominent corner lot in El Medio Bluffs. This coastal community is often celebrated as a bespoke coastal village.

Offering a total of 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms (7 full baths and 1 half-bath), the dwelling encompasses three floors and a variety of living spaces.

The primary level encompasses an office, a bedroom complete with an en-suite bathroom, a formal living area, a dining room, a family room enhanced by a fireplace, and a stunning kitchen boasting a spacious island and a generously-sized casual dining banquette. This kitchen setup is undoubtedly an inviting hub for the entire family to gather.
