The champion, who has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles and four Olympic gold medals, has a few pieces of real estate to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>To outfit one of her homes, Serena enlisted the help of her sister, fellow tennis champ and interior designer Venus Williams. \u201cYou have to know your lane. I\u2019m really good at playing tennis; I\u2019m not as good at interiors. But I was able to learn through just watching Venus,\u201d Serena said when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.architecturaldigest.com\/story\/step-inside-serena-williams-striking-florida-home\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AD visited<\/a> the Florida pad in 2021<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of three years, the duo collaborated on the total renovation of the 14,500-square-foot Spanish Mediterranean\u2013style home that Serena purchased in 2017. One space with particular significance is the former foyer, which has since been transformed into a creative art sanctuary of sorts. \u201cWhen you walk in, it\u2019s like walking into an art gallery,\u201d Serena said. \u201cThat\u2019s my favorite part of the house.

They went on to spend two years custom-building a 8,500-square-foot house that featured six bedrooms, including a main suite for each sister, as well as multiple lounge areas, a home theater, an eat-in kitchen, and a resort-style backyard complete with pool, spa, gazebo, and private lake.

In 2019 she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.architecturaldigest.com\/story\/serena-williams-sells-bel-air-home-for-8-1-million\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sold the home for $8.1 million<\/a> after originally listing it for nearly $12 million.<\/p>\n<p>Parisian pied-\u00e0-terre<\/p>\n<p>When playing the French Open is a part of your job, it helps to have a Paris outpost to call home.
