Professional Japanese golfer Shigeki Maruyama has bid goodbye to a Los Angeles estate he shared with his wife, Mizuho.

Maruyama, known in the sport as the "Smiling Assassin," sold his Bel-Air property for $14.75 million, Los Angeles Times reported. The golfer's listing agent was Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency while Christina Adams and Betsy Weisberg of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage were the buyer's agents.

The compound was originally offered on the market for $19.8 million, according to Busted Coverage. Maruyama bought the property in 2004 for only $7.6 million.

Modern features

According to the Times, the Bel-Air compound, which was designed by architecture expert Ted Tokio Tanaka, is resting on a 3.2-acre California lot located near a golf course. The main residence displays floor-to-ceiling glass panels, which create a naturally-lit ambiance and gives better views of the surrounding areas. There is a glass-enclosed elevator that services all three levels of the home. The home looks airy courtesy of high ceilings, open floor plan, spanning glass panels and the predominantly white motif.

The nearly 13,300-square-foot residence also features six bedrooms, including a master suite that occupies all three floors. Other living spaces included in the home are nine bathrooms, a central hall, a gym, a media room, a sauna and an office.There are also terraces to present overlooking scenic views of downtown areas and even the ocean.

Meanwhile, the grounds display a swimming pool, a relaxing covered patio and a lighted tennis court. 

Photos of the home, where an impressive 150 ft. bridge leading to an all glass entrance and other stunning features, can be viewed on LA Curbed. 

Maruyama currently ranks at number 1603 in the world. According to the Official World Golf Ranking site, his best performance was recorded in 2002, when he competed in the Verizon Byron Nelson Classic.
