Serena Williams lists her $15.5 million Bel Air, California home

Tennis champion Serena Williams has put her six bedroom, seven bathroom Bel Air mansion on the market for $US11,995,000 ($15.59 million). 

Set on one of the largest lots in the local neighbourhood of Stone Canyon, the private, tree-lined residence is equipped with everything a sporting star could need, including a personal gym, a large swimming pool and a number of private hiking trails surrounding the home.

However, there is something rather important missing from the property: a tennis court.

Perhaps the new mum likes to keep her work and home lives separate?

Built in 1935, the 556 square metre tranditional-style home boasts high ceilings, a private salon, bar and numerous delicate chandeliers.

Williams purchased the home in 2006 for $US6.612 million and, if the property sells for anything close to its listing price, she is set to make a sizeable profit on the home.

The tennis legend is rumoured to be searching for a new, family-friendly home to move into with her two-month-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr, and fiancee Reddit founder Alexiz Ohanian. 

Maybe this time she’ll find a home with a tennis court?
