Inside Serena Williams’ $7.5 million Beverly Hills home with a Spanish flair

Serena Williams has listed her five-bedroom Los Angeles home for $7.49 million, less than three years after purchasing the freshly built property for $6.65 million.

Serena Williams purchased the property a little more than three years ago.

The three-story Spanish-style estate sits on a quarter-acre lot in Beverly Hills’ gated Summit Estates community, which is known for its rotating cast of celebrity inhabitants, including Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears.

There is a little swimming pool in the backyard.

According to selling images, the home is ideal for entertaining, with various sitting rooms with fireplaces on the main level, as well as a huge open kitchen that flows out onto the veranda and into the backyard, which has a small pool. On the basement floor, in addition to the gym and laundry area, there is a lounge and party room with a full bar and wine cellar.

Ario Fakheri designed and built the 6,000-square-foot home.

There is a master bedroom with a fireplace, balcony, and two walk-in closets on the upper level, as well as a master bathroom with dual sinks and a large soaking tub.

The master bathroom features dual sinks as well as a big soaking Jacuzzi tub.

Ms. Williams, 39, has not made significant changes to the house since its initial purchase, according to Gregory Piechota of Compass, who is co-listing the property with Amit Lalji of Keller Williams Beverly Hills. (Representatives representing Ms. Williams did not immediately reply to calls for comment.)

The main floor has various sitting areas with fireplaces and is ideal for entertaining.

The 6,000-square-foot house was built by developer Ario Fakheri, and Williams bought it in the fall of 2017 shortly after the birth of her baby with husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.

Ms. Williams sold a Bel-Air home for $8.1 million in 2019 after purchasing it for $6.62 million in 2006, marketing it for $12 million in 2017, and dropping the asking price to $9.95 million.

In January, the tennis star, who has a record 23 Grand Slam singles victories, sold a five-bedroom property in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida for $2.775 million.
