Serena Williams has just sold her six-bedroom Los Angeles home for a reported US$8.1 million.

Mansion Global reported the tennis superstar had owned the Bel Air house since 2006, when she bought it for US$6.62 million. She first put it on the market in October 2017 at an asking price of US$12 million. Soon afterwards, Williams bought a US$6.7 million five-bedroom house in Beverly Hills.

The Bel-Air home sits on 2.76 acres in a leafy neighbourhood and has an outdoor pool and private hiking trails.

Gregory Piechota and Amit Lalji of Keller Williams Realty held the listing.

The 6,100-square-foot house was built in 1935 and is protected by a gate and enclosed by hedges and greenery that make it nearly impossible to see from the road.
