Pete Sampras - the retired tennis player - has reportedly bought another property for $3.5 million right next to the Bel Air residence he purchased March this year.
The Real Estalker reported that the tennis great acquired the 1.12-acre estate for $306,000 more than its original asking price.
The new property includes a single-family residence that spans an area of 3,424 square-feet. The house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms set in a gated, private compound that has a tree-lined stone driveway. The residence boasts of an open floor plan and has a covered wrap-around terrace as well.
Outside, there is a lawn, a kitchen, a built-in fire pit, a pool with a spa and sauna and ample parking space too.
The listing reportedly describes the home as an "emotional ranch house." The new home is slightly smaller than their other home, which sits right next to the property.
Sampras' existing Bel Air home was once owned by media mogul and popular TV personality Merv Griffin, who sold it to "Broadcast News" actor Albert Brooks in 1992. Brooks sold the home in 2012 for $6.27 million. The new owners listed the house soon after and sold it to the Sampras family at a loss.
According to the listing records, the residence spans an area of 5,100 square foot, single-family home comprising of four bedrooms and five full and one half bathrooms. Interiors of the house feature panelled hardwood floors, wood-beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows.
Living spaces include a formal living area, an open kitchen with a breakfast nook, a bar area and a separate dining space. The master bedroom has a sitting area with separate his and her baths and walk-in closets.
The home is surrounded by lush greenery with ample space for recreational activities. There is a tennis court, a pool with a spa and a parking garage as well.

Sampras has 14 Grand Slam Singles titles to his credit. He remained on the top of the world's best tennis players list for six consecutive years from 1993 to 1998 and won seven Wimbledon singles championship in an Open Era, a record he shares with Roger Federer.
Sampras was recently named the tennis pro emeritus at The Greenbrier Tennis resort.
"Pete Sampras is the consummate gentleman ambassador for the international sport of tennis and we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome him back to The Greenbrier and count him among our legendary group of sports pros representing America's Resort," Jim Justice, owner of The Greenbrier stated.
