Tennis star John McEnroe and his wife, former rock star Patty Smyth, have served up their Southampton, New York, estate for $14.5 million, which is more than $10 million over the $4.2 million the couple dropped to purchase the property in 1999.
The multi-winged house measures in around 7,500 square feet and boasts open concept living spaces such as a large living room with a vaulted ceiling, multiple formal and informal dining areas, a den, library, office, and a sunroom. The home also holds 8 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms that are spread out to ensure privacy for its occupants.
The 2.17-acre parcel’s grounds include vast and specimen tree lined lawns, a rectangular pool situated near the house, and a tennis court. And although the McEnroe-Smyth compound is landlocked, the listing also comes with deeded rights to a stretch of beach which happens to be where radio show host Howard Stern and real estate mogul Leonard Stern live.
The former world No. 1 and four-time US Open champion also owns three properties in Malibu, California, and has also been shopping the Manhattan luxury apartment market since selling a one-bedroom co-operative apartment located in the Beresford building on Central Park West.
