‘Real Housewife’ Meghan King Edmonds, husband Jim Edmonds buy a home in Newport Beach

Orange County’s newest housewife has found herself a home in Newport Beach.

Meghan King Edmonds, the latest addition to the cast of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County,� and her husband, retired Major League Baseball player Jim Edmonds, have bought a six-bedroom home in the Newport Heights community for about $2.8 million.

The Tuscan-inspired home, built in 2010, spans two stories with marble floors, wrought-iron finishes, a two-story entry and a kitchen with two islands. Also within the 5,077 square feet of space are formal living and dining rooms, a great room and a master suite with a fireplace, his and hers closets and a large soaking tub.

French doors open to a side courtyard and paved patio. A three-car garage sits off the rear of the home.

Wayne Pridgen of Hilton & Hyland, an affiliate of Christie’s International Realty, was the listing agent. Jacqueline Thompson of Surterre Properties represented the couple. The exact sale price was $2,787,500.

King Edmonds joined holdovers Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow and Shannon Beador on “The Real Housewives of Orange County� this year. The show is in its 10th season.

Edmonds, a four-time All-Star, played 17 seasons in the majors for the Angels and Cardinals, among others, finishing his career with eight Gold Glove awards and one World Series title. The 45-year-old works as an analyst for Fox Sports Midwest.

Earlier this year, the former ballplayer sold his longtime home in Irvine’s Shady Canyon for $6.775 million. The three-story home is highlighted by a game room, a movie theater, six bedrooms and seven bathrooms in 10,000 square feet of living space.

He also has a three-bedroom home at The Hideaway in La Quinta on the market for $1.499 million.
