TV producer JD Roth strikes a deal for his Manhattan Beach abode

Share

It spent a summer on the market, but the Manhattan Beach home of “Biggest Loser” co-creator JD Roth has found a buyer for $3.9 million.

The Cape Cod-style spread, built this year, sits a few miles away from the headquarters for 3 Ball Entertainment, the production company Roth co-founded more than a decade ago.

For the record:

12:30 p.m. Aug. 23, 2018A previous version of this story said JD Roth bought the Manhattan Beach home. Roth was the seller.

A flagstone path approaches the Dutch front door, which enters into a hardwood-lined open floor plan. Designer touches include crown molding, wood paneling and coffered ceilings. Black-trimmed windows add visual contrast against the all-white interior.

Within about 3,900 square feet of living space are a living room, a dining area, a wine closet and a breakfast nook with built-in seating. An indoor-outdoor family room holds a fireplace. From there, folding doors lead to a covered patio with a fireplace of its own.

The master suite, accessed by sliding barn doors, extends to a balcony.

A lawn fills space between the home and a three-car garage, a detached structure topped by a guesthouse. In all, the propefty offers five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms.

Records show Roth sold the home for above his asking price; it originally listed for $3.795 million in June.

Robert Freedman and Greg Geilman of ReMax Estate Properties held the listing. Wendi Abrams, also with ReMax, represented the buyer.

In addition to producing, the 50-year-old Roth has also hosted reality shows “Unan1mous” and “Endurance.” As an announcer, his credits include “The Biggest Loser” and ABC’s “Extreme Weight Loss.”

On the real estate side, Roth has been active in Montecito. Two years ago he offered up a 1950s cottage in the area, and the following year bought an East Coast-vibe estate nearby for $7 million.
