Nails has an investment for you: His house

Earlier this month, Lenny Dykstra told me he was ready to sell his house. You know, that beast of a thing on the Sherwood Country Club that once belonged to Wayne Gretzky.
Lenny's good on his word.
The house -- 12,713 square feed, 8 bedrooms, 7 baths on 7 acres -- has now been listed by Sotheby's International in Brentwood (see the link here).
Asking price: $24.9 million.
"It's a compound; it's not a house," said Dykstra, the former All-Star outfielder. "I can go for a couple of days and not see any other family members. I found out I had a tennis court I didn't know I had. And I had to buy it completely furnished. I couldn't afford to buy furniture to fill this place. Are you kidding me?"
Janet Gretzky spent a lot of Wayne's cold, hard cash to make this place top of the line -- they had lived in another house in the Lake Sherwood tract before moving to this place up on a hill -- before they sold it to Dykstra a couple of years ago and then made their home in Arizona their primary residence.
Again, look at the slide show that realtors F. Ron Smith and Nick Segal have up on the listing.
Property ID#0353524 is listed as a "luxury single-family family home" at 1072 Newbern Court in Lake Sherwood, a "timeless estate, designed by architect Richard Landry, (sitting) atop a secluded promontory w/ panoramic views of Lake Sherwood community & the Country Club facilities. This 7 +/- acre gated compound, creates the perfect blend of old world grandeur w/ today's modern amenities which include Formal Grand Salon, Billiards room, Screening Room, Outdoor Verandas, Fitness Facility, Championship Tennis Court, 2 separate guest apartments, all set against the backdrop of manicured gardens & lawns."
All too much for Lenny and the Dykstras to handle, maybe even more so since son Cutter was drafted earlier this month by the Milwaukee Brewers out of Westlake High.
Still Lenny has the car wash in Simi Valley.
