The beachfront mansion, which was constructed in the 1930s but has had substantial renovations since then, is located on a particularly desirable stretch of beach, directly next to a house that sold to billionaire Ron Burkle last year for “only” $13.5 million. McEnroe purchased the home in 1984 for an unspecified sum that appeared to be less than $2.5 million; according to tax records, the house’s most recent assessment was $4.7 million.
