One of the best things about being a Hall-of-Fame pitcher like Greg Maddux is that the view is so much better from the top. After relocating to San Diego a few years ago, Maddux has listed his home in the posh enclave of Sunset Cliffs for $4 million. The house is complete with all the luxury trappings you would expect of a property fit for one of the greatest pitchers of all time.
The Robb Report profiled the property, and it is a dream home, albeit somewhat understated, which fits right in with Maddux's famously low-key personality. The house is 1,900 square feet and nestled perfectly in the foothills, offering 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean. It sits on a quarter-acre parcel and offers the property owner easy access to the beach and Sunset Cliffs Nature Park.

The four-bedroom, five-bathroom home was fully renovated shortly before Maddux and his wife, Kathy, purchased it in 2017. Those extensive renovations created this house's top selling point: a 1,000 square foot rooftop deck with views stretching as far as the eye can see across the Pacific. The deck, perfect for outdoor dining and sunset cocktail parties, will give the buyer endless enjoyment and entertainment options.
The home's lower-level interior features an open floor plan with an adjoining dining and living area. There is also a spacious family room with wood beams accenting the high ceilings and fireplace. The family room also connects to another covered patio. You'll find white marble countertops and backsplashes, a built-in dining nook, and State-of-the-art appliances in the gourmet kitchen.

Upstairs, a private lounge and the master suite offer access to the property's luxurious deck. Plus Real Estate's Zack Dweck is the property's listing agent, and he will have helped Maddux make a tidy profit if he secures an offer for the $4 million asking price. However, he may face some headwinds in the local real estate market. According to Redfin, Sunset Cliffs' $2.7 million median home price is down 40% from last year.
According to the Robb Report, Maddux and his wife originally paid $2 million for the property. The good news is that the couple will survive financially even if the Sunset Cliffs property doesn't sell for their asking price. Maddux hit his peak right as Major League Baseball salaries went through the roof. Baseball-reference.com estimates that Maddux earned over $150 million during his playing days.
He won 355 games in a 23-year career, most of which came as a starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves during the franchise's domination of the National League in the 1990s. Maddux won a World Series with Atlanta in 1995 and is recognized as one of the best pitchers in baseball history. He split 2008 – his last year in the big leagues – between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers. As the old saying goes, "It's good work if you can find it."
