The Inertia

Shaun White, who’s currently working towards his fourth Olympic games where he’ll look to compete in the halfpipe in South Korea next winter, has listed his beachfront Encinitas home for a cool $7.995 million. Just about market value in the exorbitant California real estate market.

The 3,500-square foot home, which White reportedly has leased in recent years, is pimped out to the max, too, featuring steel-cased doors, dark wood floors, marble countertops and wrought-iron chandeliers. It’s a bit more of an uppity vibe than the flop-house-like snowboarding condo in Mammoth most of us would be used to.

Tiered decking adorns the outside of the house which includes a vanishing edge spa and a private stairway down to the beach. According to records, the house was purchased five years ago for $3.85 million. You can see the full layout, here.

White finished off the season in solid form, winning the U.S. Open halfpipe competition to head into the offseason with momentum.
