Inside Serena Williams' $17 million Bel Air home

Tennis champion Serena Williams has put her six bedroom, seven bathroom Bel Air mansion on the market for $17 million. 

You can view this incredible property in the gallery above. 

Set on one of the largest lots in the local neighbourhood of Stone Canyon, the private, tree-lined residence is equipped with everything a sporting star could need, including a personal gym, a large swimming pool and a number of private hiking trails surrounding the home.

However, there is something rather important missing from the property: a tennis court. Perhaps the new mum likes to keep her work and home lives separate?

Built in 1935, the 556 square metre tranditional-style home boasts high ceilings, a private salon, bar and numerous delicate chandeliers.

Williams purchased the home in 2006 for $9.5 million and, if the property sells for anything close to its listing price, she is set to make a sizable profit on the home.

The tennis legend is rumoured to be searching for a new, family-friendly home to move into with her two-month-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr, and fiancee Reddit founder Alexiz Ohanian. 

Maybe this time she'll find a home with a tennis court?
