Angels pitcher Bud Norris closes lease deal for home in Corona del Mar
Bud Norris, the Angels’ nonroster invitee turned unexpected closer, has leased a home in Corona del Mar for $12,500 a month.
The two-story house, which combines elements of Craftsman and traditional style, sits on a tight lot about a block from the beach.
Built in 2006, the home has about 2,000 square feet of open-plan space that includes upper and lower master suites, a formal living room, a dining room and an updated kitchen with a breakfast bar. A two-way, freestanding fireplace divides the common area on the first floor. A wet bar with a wine fridge sits off the kitchen area.
The second-floor master has a fireplace and sliding glass doors that open to a balcony. In all, there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The property last changed hands six years ago for $1.61 million, public records show.
Robert Small of Corona del Mar Properties Inc. was the listing agent, according to the Multiple Listing Service. Mark Handler of Rodeo Realty represented Norris.
Norris, a lifetime starting pitcher, earned his first career save last week and now has four on the year, filling in for injured relievers Cam Bedrosian and Andrew Bailey. Now in his ninth season, the 32-year-old righthander has career record of 62-78 with a 4.49 ERA.
