Boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard is making headlines as he lists his magnificent Pacific Palisades villa for sale. After owning the property for over 25 years, Leonard is ready to part ways with the home that he purchased for $7 million back in 1993. Today, that amount would equate to approximately $14 million. However, due to extensive renovations and the construction of a sprawling 16,700-square-foot mansion, the asking price now stands at an impressive $51.995 million.
The villa is not just about the main mansion; it also includes a two-story guest house, a tennis court, a putting green, and a swimming pool. Nestled behind a wall of lush foliage and trees, this property spans nearly two acres of park-like landscape. Inside, it boasts seven bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, featuring imported fireplaces from Europe and stone floors from Jerusalem. The home is filled with elegant touches, including a solarium, a gym, and a media room. The master suite even has a private balcony that offers breathtaking views of both the ocean and the canyon.
In a statement about the home, Bernadette Leonard expressed, "This home has been a peaceful oasis… We’ve been blessed to have a space allowing us to host both intimate family gatherings and sizable fundraisers. My hope is that the future owner will cherish this home as much as our family has." If the property sells for close to the asking price, it is expected to rank among the largest home sales in Los Angeles County this year, contributing to a market that includes a recent sale of nearly $120 million in Holmby Hills.
