Maria Sharapova's jaw-dropping £18.5m mansion goes up for sale with its own bowling alley

Maria Sharapova is reportedly selling her lavish mansion, which comes with its own built-in bowling alley and swimming pool. The former star, who won five Grand Slam titles during her impressive 19-year career, first made a name for herself when she won Wimbledon in 2004 at just 17 years old, defeating Serena Williams in the final.

The 38-year-old is now engaged to British businessman Alexander Gilkes, and the pair are planning to leave Los Angeles for pastures new. They currently own an extraordinary property in Manhattan Beach, but they're looking to sell their mansion and make a tidy profit.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Sharapovahas put the five-bedroom property on the market for £18.5million ($24.995m), having purchased it for £3m ($4.1m) 13 years ago. Once the sale is complete, the couple plans to spend more time in Europe and with their family.

In a YouTube video posted by six years ago, the ex-tennis star took viewers on a detailed tour of the property.

Custom-built in 2015 by KAA Design, the property offers stunning sea views and exceptional amenities. It features two built-in bowling lanes and an adjacent media room.

This makes the bowling area a perfect space for entertaining all ages, while being able to keep an eye on the scoreboard as guests knock down pins at their leisure.

Outside, there's a swimming pool, a seating area for friends to relax on and a built-in bench where Sharapova reportedly enjoys reading by the pool.

The property is also surrounded by lush greenery, ensuring ample privacy for its residents. The outdoor seating area is partially covered to protect against inclement weather during gatherings around the fire pit.

The house boasts a tasteful and practical interior design, with abundant modern storage solutions in every room. The bathrooms are luxuriously fitted with free-standing baths and dual vanity sinks.

High-quality artwork adorns the walls of the home, as well as plenty of modern furnishings and a built-in flat-screen TV to watch the latest films and media on.

There is even a small nook in the living room filled with natural light, perfect for those who like to unwind with a book or glass of wine as the sun sets over the City of Angels.

It remains uncertain whether Sharapova and Gilkes still reside in the property or if they've already relocated to Europe. The report adds that the couple own a house in Florida, which provides them with the option to return to the United States at any time.
