OUT! CHRIS EVERT SET TO SELL HER FLORIDA MANSION
There was a time during the 1970s when a group of brilliant female tennis players dominated the sport.
This included Virginia Wade, Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean King and Chris Evert.
Many of Evert’s championship-winning records remain unbeaten today and ESPN recently ranked her as the tenth most successful player of all time, male or female.
Evert’s personal life also gained her international fame
when she dated fellow star Jimmy Connors. Evert later married British tennis player and sports centre magnate John Lloyd, although the couple subsequently split.
Born and raised in Florida, since retiring Evert has been living at an estate near Palm Beach where she runs a tennis academy.
The 63-year-old is now selling up and her 5.23-acre Boca Estate is on the market for $4.99 million The focus of the estate is an eight-bedroom mansion built in 1995, but it also includes two guest houses, a nine-car garage and a barn that’s been converted into a gym and home theatre.
The Boca Estate also includes a putting green, pool and, of course, a tennis court.
Katia Reisler of Douglas Elliman and Rebecca Spooner of Siemens Group Realty, both in Boca Raton, are the agents.
