Retired tennis star Maria Sharapova is listing her Los Angeles-area home for $24.995 million.
The home—which has ocean views but no tennis court—is located in Manhattan Beach, Calif., about 20 miles southwest of downtown L.A., said listing agent Susan Perryman of Carolwood Estates.
Russia-born Sharapova, 38, and her fiancé, British businessman Alexander Gilkes, are selling because they plan to spend more time in Europe with family, according to Perryman, who said they also own a house in Florida.
The five-time Grand Slam winner bought the ocean-view lot for $4.1 million in 2012, according to property records. She commissioned Los Angeles-based KAA Design to custom-build the house, which was completed in 2015, said Perryman.
Inside, the house has a double-height entry gallery with concrete walls. There are two bowling lanes adjacent to the media room. In the living room, Sharapova likes to read on a built-in bench jutting out over the pool, according to Perryman.
Outside, the property has a pool, outdoor fireplace and walls of greenery for privacy.
Sharapova, who played professional tennis from 2001 to 2020, was ranked World No. 1 in 2005, according to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. She has modeled for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and companies including Nike, and founded the now-defunct Florida-based candy company Sugarpova around 2012. Gilkes is co-founder of venture studio Squared Circles and the now-defunct online auction house Paddle8. They have a 3-year-old son.
