Known as the Honnold & Rex Research House, the 3,700-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-(marble) bath home touts walls of glass that open to a courtyard and spa, while its two-story living room is highlighted by a floor-to-ceiling stone wall and fireplace.

The former traditional-style home was redesigned by its previous owner (and award-winning interior designer) Xorin Balbes, and now boasts a contemporary, airy vibe.

Streep acquired the property less than a year ago for $4.5 million, which means her deal with the third baseman scored her a sweet $300,000 profit.

Originally designed by architects Honnold & Rex for Architectural Products magazine, the two-story Sunset Strip house recently underwent a major remodeling under designer Xorin Balbes. Though the couple purchased the four-bedroom estate last February for $4.5 million, they've upped that number significantly, marking their new asking price at $6.75 million.

The 3,500 square-foot home, which comes fully furnished, has a floor-to-ceiling hewn stone wall and fireplace; four marble baths decked with LED lighting; a pool and spa; Italian marble flooring; a walnut staircase "with sculptural railing"; a state-of-the-art, smartphone-controlled security system; a tranquil courtyard; a beautiful kitchen outfitted with designer appliances; "extensive skylights for optimal display of fine art"; and a garage with a custom ventilation system.
