Interior Designer Looks to Sell Serena Williams’s Former Bel Air Home for $13.5M

Considered one of the greatest women’s tennis players of all time, Serena Williams is a household name. And, for 13 years, when the athlete wasn’t on the court winning Grand Slam titles, she spent time at this Los Angeles oasis she purchased in 2006. Now on the market with a different, but also stylish, homeowner, the Mediterranean-style abode is asking $13,500,000.

Williams sold the striking property in 2019, and then that buyer quickly sold it once more to interior designer Rodrigo Vargas, who is the seller today. Sat upon almost three acres, the expansive home is set against the backdrop of rolling hills. The polished interiors are sleek and filled with a neutral palette, fostering an uncluttered, elegant atmosphere that instantly makes it feel like a tranquil retreat.

Rich wood floors start at the entrance and reach across the home’s 6,100 square feet. A spacious, white living room is the star of the main floor. It’s a place where high ceilings and wall-to-wall glass windows and doors drench you in light and green views. Nearby, the large kitchen and dining room are perfect for A-list entertaining or for quiet post-practice meals if an athlete moves in once again.

When it comes to the private spaces of the home, the primary suite is a sure ace. Its separate bathroom fitted with a claw foot tub is an absolute dream, while a wood burning fireplace keeps the spot even cooler. Visitors can help themselves to the other five bedrooms and five bathrooms, all complete with beautiful finishes.
