The 10,000-square-foot Tuscan-style villa retreat where Ali lived in the early 1970s could be yours for $750,000.
CHERRY HILL TWP. -- Five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two fireplaces -- oh, and the former residence of none other than Muhammad Ali.
The 10,000-square-foot Tuscan-style villa retreat where Ali lived in the early 1970s could be yours for $750,000, according to the Keller Williams Realty listing. That's not bad, considering the asking price was just under $2 million a mere three years ago, according to previous reports.
The 1.5-acre lot is enclosed by atrium that creates "a serene sanctuary feeling in every room," the listing reads. Both an attached and detached garage are on the property and an intercom system is linked to the property's front gate.
Outdoor attractions include a tennis court, volleyball/basketball/shuffleboard court, gazebo, deck, and full sized playground with "vintage" play-equipment, per the listing. Other amenities include heated marble flooring, a sub-zero refrigerator, double oven, steamer, grill, fryer, wine cooler, wood-burning fireplace, a hot tub sun room, a 40-foot heated in-ground pool.

According to a 2012 philly.com article regarding the property going up for auction, Ali sold the Cherry Hill home in 1974 around the time of his bout with Joe Frazier. He paid $108,000 for it and sunk more than $200,000 into upgrades.
Touted at a "give-away price," Ali's former "massive retreat" in South Jersey" is one to be seen," the listing states.
