McEnroe's $35M Malibu Home Sparks Fan Backlash
8 Oct
Summary
- John McEnroe's Malibu home is listed for $35 million.
- The property was purchased by the couple for $21 million.
- Tennis fans criticize the home's design as 'ugly'.
Tennis icon John McEnroe and his wife, singer-songwriter Patty Smyth, have listed their Malibu residence for sale. The property is on the market with an asking price of $35 million.
The couple acquired the home back in 2015 for $21 million. This expansive 6,500-square-foot residence, situated on a 0.3-acre lot, boasts four bedrooms and direct access to an oceanfront deck.
However, the home's aesthetic has drawn sharp criticism from tennis enthusiasts online. Many commenters on the listing have likened the property's appearance to a 'boring office building' and expressed dismay at the price, with one famously exclaiming, "You cannot be serious!"
The Malibu neighborhood is also home to other notable figures, including Beyoncé and Jay-Z, as well as venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and Laurene Powell Jobs, according to reports. The property itself features a landscaped yard with a waterfall and a tiki hut-style pavilion that can serve as a gym or yoga space.
