It also has an outdoor pool that is connected to the house and complements the patio area.
Her bowling alley - complete with two lanes - sits next to her downstairs kitchen.
Sharapova even designed the property with a focus on togetherness.

The Russian called time on her career at the age of 32 in 2020 after winning five Grand Slams.
Sharapova retired a shadow of the player she was since returned from her drugs ban for meldonium in April 2017.
The doping suspension understandably damaged her reputation and brand, and she dropped to 373rd in the world.

Iris Law shows off her quirky sense of style in a knitted co-ord and baseball cap as she steps out in NYC
IrIs Law showcased her signature edgy style as she stepped out in New York City on Tuesday. The 24-year-old model — and daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost — went braless in a white knitted skirt co-ord, featuring colour-blocked pink and navy sleeves. She added a playful twist with a sideways baseball cap and paired the look with grey suede shoes. Iris finished her outfit with a chic cream handbag and stacks of beaded jewellery. The star appeared in high spirits as she was spotted heading out to meet friends in the city. Her outing comes just a week after Iris flashed her bottom and went braless as she shared a cheeky insight into her summer. The model took to Instagram last Monday to share a collection of summer snaps. Included in the post was a racy snap of Iris wearing a burnt orange silk wrap dress, which showcased her bottom. In another, Iris could be seen going braless as she posed for a mirror selfie in a red T-shirt with silver sequin shorts and chunky black sandals. She accessorised with an array of glitzy diamond jewellery and oval spectacles, as well as a floral shoulder bag. Elsewhere in the post, Iris looked effortlessly stylish as she headed out for the day wearing a navy boat-neck graphic t-shirt. Iris paired the T-shirt with a low-rise denim mini skirt, dark green crew socks and yellow and green trainers, as well as a brown leather shoulder bag. She also shared a selfie while sporting a baseball cap reading: 'Poser. You think you can pose? Name every position.' Iris recently spoke out to clarify her relationship with DJ Tommy Gold after the two sparked romance rumours during a Notting Hill outing earlier this month. The model was seen with the London-based DJ, who bears a striking resemblance to her ex Trent Alexander-Arnold. The pair were seen browsing stalls at the famous Portobello Road Market, where they paused to pick up some flowers in the seemingly romantic setting. However, Iris has now addressed the speculation and insisted that Tommy is her 'bestie', taking to Instagram on Sunday to clarify their relationship. Reposting a picture of their day out, Iris wrote: '[laughing face emoji] sorry guys but that's bestie.' Iris last sparked romance rumours in October when it was reported she was growing close to her ex Pa Salieu again after her split from England footballer Trent. She had been tapping the heart button in response to social media posts by the rapper, just a month after his release from a 33-month jail sentence for violent disorder. She also commented on his latest post, writing: 'Fiya'. The pair were first seen together in October 2021, and relationship rumours were sparked in April the following year. It is not known when they split. Brit nominee Pa was jailed for two years and nine months for taking part in a mob attack on a 23-year-old man shortly after his best friend was stabbed to death. The 27-year-old admitted violent disorder at a previous hearing, having been caught on CCTV using a tree branch to repeatedly hit the victim, who spent ten days in hospital. The BRIT Award-nominated artist, who was named the BBC's Sound of 2021, was cleared by a jury of a second count of violent disorder relating to a mass brawl in a nearby street minutes earlier, which led to the death of 21-year-old Fidel Glasgow, grandson of The Special's singer Neville Staple.

Chefs from Portugal and Japan come together for The Art of Tasting Portugal in Osaka
While dozens of countries have gathered at Expo 2025 in Osaka to showcase their innovative technologies and sustainable solutions for a better future, another exciting highlight at the mega-event is the remarkable gastronomic collaborations on show. One such project is The Art of Tasting Portugal supported by VisitPortugal, which showcases the culinary creativity of Portuguese chefs on a global stage. As part of the lead-up to the Expo, a special dinner brought together culinary visionaries from two Michelin-starred restaurants: Portuguese chef Vasco Coelho Santos of Euskalduna in Porto and Yuji Fujita, executive chef of Chi-Fu in Osaka. The chefs crafted a menu highlighting the appreciation of seasonal ingredients shared by the two countries. Chef Vasco presented refined takes on Portuguese classics such as seafood rice, beef tongue and his signature Portuguese French toast – the perfect sweet ending and one of our favourite dishes of the night. Meanwhile, chef Fujita showcased his twist of Japanese and Chinese cuisine with dishes including Ise lobster and lamb chops. The menu was complemented by a curated pairing of Portuguese wines and Japanese sake, highlighting the growing interest in Portuguese wines in Japan. Chef Vasco is a key figure in contemporary Portuguese cuisine, known for blending tradition with innovation across multiple acclaimed restaurants, including his very own Euskalduna Studio which renewed its Michelin star in 2025. In 2024, he contributed some of his signature dishes from Euskalduna Studio at Time Out Market Porto. Yuji Fujita, head of Chi-Fu since 2018, has elevated the Osaka restaurant into a leading name in fusion dining, combining Chinese culinary traditions with Western and Japanese influences. Chi-Fu was awarded a Michelin star in 2025.

Games Inbox: Why has the Nintendo Switch 2 been so successful?
The Thursday letters page tries to predict what might be in the next Nintendo Direct, as one reader thinks EA should've made a new franchise instead of Battlefield 6. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ Beyond the games Really is incredible how well the Switch 2 has done, smashing all records for sales in the US and Japan. And all with what I would call quite a weak line-up of games. Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza have reviewed well but they've not blown the doors off, and I doubt either are going to be getting any serious game of the year nominations. That's fine, some consoles don't get games of that quality in their whole lifetime, but that means there's got to be other reasons for it selling so well, beyond the games. I think it's a mixture of the idea of the Switch – the hybrid console – being just such a great concept, as proven by the Switch 1, and that Nintendo has earned such trust from the last console and its games. I do feel their lack of announcements so far is already playing a bit loose with that trust but so far there doesn't seem to be any sign of them being punished for it. People are buying the Switch 2 not just for what it can do now but for what they believe it'll do in the future, based on the Switch 1. And I think as long as Nintendo don't start resting on their laurels that's fine. Looking forward to the next Nintendo Direct. Onibee Home made Thanks very much for the Amiga top 20. I can think of a few games I would've added but not many I would've taken out, which is probably a good sign. Although I admit I've never heard of or played Warhead, Exile, or Starglider 2 before. The thing that stuck out to me was how almost all of the games were British, which I didn't really think of at the time. But now I realise that most of the games I was playing in my youth were either British or British companies porting over Japanese-made arcade games. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. I actually must've played relatively few American games in those days, which is wild when you think of the industry today, where almost everything is American and there are basically no British games at all. We can't turn the clocks back but clearly something has been lost and I agree that it's a nice treat nowadays to play something that hasn't been made in either the US or Japan. I don't know if we're going to get a flood of French games now, because of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but I'd much prefer that than another game where I have to save New York City. Columbo The penultimate ninja I recently invested into System 3's Last Ninja collection Kickstarter. I have hoped for an updated/new Last Ninja game for decades. While this collection is a way to keep the purchaser as a custodian of the game of sorts, I do think the inclusion of The Last Ninja 4 demo is proof that the game could be given a new lease of life. As Mark Cale has said, it takes a lot of time, effort, and not least money to make a game these days, so perhaps some rich individual/company might give the game a chance to be played by today's younger gamers and see what a fantastic experience it is. GHH69 GC: Oh, they've also got IK+ in there too. Email your comments to: gamecentral@ Slowly does it I have a feeling we're all going to be disappointed by the next Nintendo Direct. They have got far too much stuff that nobody cares about to talk about at the moment, that I don't think they're going to have time for anything else. We might get some new Mario Kart World content, but we know nothing about Hyrule Warriors and Kirby Air Rider at the moment, or Metroid Prime 4. Even if they split that off and give it its own Direct, I think next year's games are just not what they're bothered about at the moment. Maybe we'll get a mic drop teaser at the end, maybe, but I think that's much more likely in the autumn or at The Game Awards. From Nintendo's perspective everything has worked out perfectly with the Switch 2, I don't think they're in any hurry to move things forward. Grant Boomer extrusion I've got to say, that Fallout 1 remake you mentioned looks really amazing. I'm not familiar with the Doom engine it's made with, but it seems to have the perfect balance between old school and modern, and I'm very keen to see more games made with it. So-called boomer shooters have become quite popular in recent years, but they always seem kind of forced to me. But I really like this approach, of remaking an isometric game in the style of an old school first person game. It makes me want to see other games like Planescape: Torment and maybe even the original Diablo games? It would be cool, I think. Beniz Rainbow 12 I've bought and been playing recently Ready or Not, a cracking game that's just come out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox. It's a mission-based game where you have to storm a building/office/home and take out the bad guys. It can get played single-player with bots or online with friends or randoms. I guess it's a mixture of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six games and Rainbow Six Siege. It's a very tense game, knowing one wrong move can lead to death and a mission restart. The AI is impressive, especially the enemies who move around the maps very effectively and cause some unpleasant surprises. At £45 I thought this was money well spent – replay is high, as each time the enemies start in different places. All in all, highly recommend. Keep up the good work. Manic miner 100 (gamertag) GC: Thanks. Secret ending Surely there's going to be a Metroid Prime 4 Nintendo Switch 2 hardware bundle by Christmas as well? Which is going to make at least four different official ones. I would warn everyone though that the cheap Mario Kart World one is not going to be around forever. Nintendo hasn't said when it will stop but they have said it won't last past this year. I pointed this out to a friend who was weighing up whether to get one or not and I said to him it's not a good idea to wait until autumn because that deal could just disappear overnight. Lumpy Giving up If Battlefield 6 is as big a hit as EA wants I will be shocked. They've got four separate developers making this?! For a franchise that's always been an also-ran and where the last one sunk without trace within a matter of days? Are we sure this isn't a tax write-off or something? The big problem with the lack of new IP today is that companies would much rather flog a dead horse than just come up with something relatively similar, that has more freedom to try new things. We all know what a Battlefield game is and I'm sure that after the failure of the last one they'll try and paint the new one as being back to its roots or some such tagline. But why not just make something new that doesn't have all that baggage? What are the main elements of Battlefield? 64+ player battles, lots of vehicles, and destruction. There's really nothing beyond that, with no consistent setting, no unique game modes, and definitely no ongoing storyline. Surely it'd be far better to make something new in the same area then spend half your time defending yourself from rabid fans and the other half telling non-Battlefield fans that they shouldn't be scared because it's called Battlefield 6 and yet is actually the 13th sequel. Maybe I'm being naïve, but I think there comes a time where a name becomes more of a hinderance than a help, especially with a franchise that never quite made it to the big time. Lostem Inbox also-ransWhat I don't get with these next gen portable rumours is how much is it all going to cost? If you've got a PlayStation 6 home console and the portable, isn't that going to be the best part of £1,000. And then they turn round in a couple of years and try and push the PS6 Pro? No thank. Grondite I loved the Amiga. I would say Superfrog was my favourite game but then I played it again recently and it was awful. Nostalgia can be a hell of a kick to the head sometimes.
