Pete Sampras sells Beverly Hills home for just under $17 million

Tennis star Pete Sampras recently sold his Beverly Hills mansion for $16,980,000 - about $6,000,000 less than his asking price of $23,000,000. Big Time Listings reports the sale of Sampras’ 10,000+ square foot home based on public records.

It’s quite a mansion that Sampras has sold to Will & Grace creator Max Mutchnick. While it “only” has 5 bedrooms, it has a whopping 12 bathrooms. That’s more than one for every 1,000 square feet. At least there’s little risk of not finding an open bath when you need it.

The hallway and stairs, as you can see in the pictures below, are all wood and pretty amazing. Lots of architectural detail there. Let’s see, in addition to the beds and baths, it has a professional theater (which we noticed has a nice pool table, too), an office/library, and even maid’s quarters. While we don’t care about the maid’s quarters, a nice place to watch movies and football, along with a great office/library is right up our alley.

But what’s even more to our tastes? How about a master suite with a sitting room, his and hers baths, and a sundeck. Now that’s exactly what a master suite needs.

Outside, on 1.04 acres, there’s a pool, putting green, play areas, and a tennis court. Of course there’s a tennis court. And check out the courtyard with fountain. Dramatic, no?

Considering Sampras bought the home for $8,300,000 in 2001, he made a tidy little profit after seven years.
