Radio host Tom Joyner’s mansion includes boxing ring and private beach

Retired radio personalit­y Tom Joyner, the former nationally syndicated host of “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,” has listed his 9,402-square-foot mansion in Golden Beach — complete with boxing ring and private beach — for $20 million.

The Town of Golden Beach sits on 1.3 miles along State Road A1A at the Miami-Dade County/ Broward County line. It’s bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Intracoast­al Waterway to the west, Hallandale Beach to the north and Sunny Isles Beach to the South.

“It’s the northernmo­st municipali­ty in MiamiDade County,” said Dina Goldentaye­r, executive director of sales for Douglas Elliman Real Estate in Miami Beach, who holds the

listing. “It is really the only true oceanfront single-family enclave.”

The tri-level home, at 469 Ocean Blvd., has three bedrooms and four baths. Built in 2007, the home recently underwent a $7.5 million renovation and is being sold furnished, without the artwork.

Features of the gated home include a grand primary suite that spans the entire third floor and includes three terraces and a bathroom with a glass-encased RiFRA tub in the center of the room. The home also has an office and views of the ocean from almost every room. The garage was converted into a boxing ring.

Exterior features include an oceanfront pool, verandas, a summer kitchen, a louvered cabana and 50 linear feet directly on the ocean.

Public records show that Joyner purchased the property in October 2015 for $10.5 million. He’s now selling because he doesn’t want to be tied to one place, Goldentaye­r said.

“I want to be a ‘five-star gypsy man,’ ” Joyner said in a written statement. “While my house is paradise, it’s time for the next phase of my best life. I plan to travel to luxury destinatio­ns around the world and stay for two or three months at a time.”

Goldentaye­r said that the property is a “unicorn.” “Many of the homes in Golden Beach are not renovated,” she said “This one is turnkey, and you can literally move in immediatel­y.”
