• • • • • • Former World No. 1 tennis player John McEnroe and his wife Patty Smyth are increasing their foothold in the star studded enclave of Malibu. The 54-year-old seven time Grand Slam winner has just splashed-out $3.345 million on a California ranch style home just off Pacific Coast Highway. The 2,800 square feet 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, property sits on 1.5 acres of land in the Paradise Cove area of Malibu and is situated just six miles from the multi-millionaire's other beach-side retreat. Nearby: John and Patty's new Paradise Cove home is just six miles away from their other Malibu property And the couple's new buy could represent a shrewd investment for them as their new home was once listed for $8.8 million back in 2009 before the high end property market crash. The home was built in the 1960's and has an open floor plan and boasts a gourmet kitchen and a great room with vaulted ceilings. There is also an outdoor living space with a kitchen and fire pit should John and Patty, 56, choose to entertain some of their famous friends. Roomy: The ranch style house also has a separate guest area to entertain friends and family Property records indicate that the couple bought the home back in March and it comes with a detached and entirely self-contained one bedroom and one bathroom guest house The living room/t.v. Lounge area has clerestory windows, a red brick accent wall with a large fireplace for those cold winter nights. The home has semi-glossy wood floors and wood ceilings throughout with numerous over-sized windows and wood-framed glass doors to take advantage of all the natural light. Handy: There is a well fitted guest area for the couple's friends to use John and Patty's new master suite bedroom 'feels like a spa' according to the listing and includes a spacious, glass-walled bathroom finished with slate tile floors (and walls). There's a long, floating double sink vanity with wall-mounted taps, a free-standing tub that looks like it might be crafted of polished poured concrete, and both indoor and outdoor showers, for them to cool off in. In addition to the cozy courtyard between the main and guest houses where there's a convenient built-in barbecue/outdoor kitchen. The private property's expansive grounds include several more patios and terraces, a conveniently located circular fire pit and broad sloping lawns dotted with mature shade and fruit trees. Gourmet: The home boasts a kitchen with all the mod cons to prepare any kind of meal And although the home is not located directly on the beach it affords private access to a dazzling stretch of sand along scenic Paradise Cove. John and his part-time musician wife (of the 1980s New Wave band Scandal) already own an ocean front house in Malibu's guard-gated, much coveted, and star-studded Colony community. The famous couple quietly snatched up a second home six miles to the west of their new abode for an undisclosed amount back in 1984.
