Scott Boras, the sports agent whose clients include some of biggest stars in baseball, has paid $3.18 million, or about $1,020 per square foot, for a newly built home in Venice.

Completed last year, the two-story contemporary sits on a narrow lot of about 5,500 square feet with a saltwater lap pool and spa. Knotted wood siding lends a rustic note to the wide front of the house.

An open-area living room, a media room, a center-island kitchen, a dining area, four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms are within more than 3,100 square feet of living space. Appointments include oak hardwood floors, modern fixtures and custom walnut cabinetry. A wet bar sits off the living room, which also has a wall fireplace.

Sliding glass doors lead outside to a patio and a patch of lawn. A lounge with a fire pit sits next to the swimming pool.

The property came to market in January for $3.25 million, records show. In February, based on 15 sales, the median sales price for single-family homes in the area was $1.673 million, up 6.2% year over year, according to CoreLogic.

Boras, whose Boras Corp. operates out of Newport Beach, has negotiated more than $2 billion in current baseball contracts, according to Forbes. His clients include reigning National League most valuable player Kris Bryant and two-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer.
