LA Galaxy’s Chicharito Unloads Sleek Modern Farmhouse in Beverlywood
After just over two years of ownership, it seems Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez has tired of his West Coast digs, with the Mexican professional footballer having quietly offloaded his trendy modern farmhouse-style mansion in Los Angeles in an off-market deal, Dirt reports. Records show a non-famous married couple paid $6.8 million for the home, netting Hernández about $1 million more than he doled out for the place back in May 2020.
Tucked away on a quarter-acre parcel in the Beverlywood neighborhood, south of Beverly Hills and next to Cheviot Hills, the charcoal-hued structure was built in 2019, and features an attached two-car garage, grassy yard and small porch out front. Inside, six bedrooms and seven baths are filtered across a little more than 6,200 square feet of living space on two levels boasting creamy neutral interiors accented throughout with limestone and wide-plank hardwood floors.

Hernández, now in his 30s, has been playing pro soccer since he was 18, first with C.D. Guadalajara and then Manchester United. He was eventually loaned to Real Madrid before inking a permanent deal with Bayer Leverkusen, and then later playing for West Ham United and Sevilla. Today, he’s a striker for the LA. Galaxy, and is once again hoping to be called up to the Mexico National Team.
