Serena Williams’ epic Palm Beach mansion she refused to have a tennis court built at
Life looks a little different for Serena Williams now she’s retired from Grand Slam tennis, but that doesn’t mean it’s slowed down.
The seven-time Wimbledon champion, who is widely regarded as one of the most decorated female tennis players of all time, is soaking up the joys of motherhood at her jaw-dropping Palm Beach mansion just north of Miami with her husband Alexis Ohanian.
The couple share daughters Olympia, four, and Adira, one, and her breathtaking residence is the perfect place to raise her young family.
While the tennis star now shares her sprawling abode with her husband, she previously revealed that he had no say in the design of her minimalist home as she instead turned to sister Venus’ interior design firm V Starr to help her create her dream property.
“We had just met,” Serena told Architectural Digest of Alexis. “And I wasn’t going to be like, ‘Hey, let’s do this together.’ That would have been really weird for him.” Serena added: “I was moving away from Venus for the first time in my life, so I wanted it to be really meaningful.”
Her modern house boasts a hidden karaoke suite, a trophy room, an infinity pool, and a wine cellar “the size of a small NYC apartment” but surprisingly there is no tennis court as she explained she “wanted to separate home from work”.
