Liverpool owner knocks $10m off Florida mansion

Liverpool owner John W Henry has slashed a whopping $10million (£7.6m) off of the asking price of his Florida mansion - known as 'The House of Peace' - as he looks to sell the luxury seven bedroom property.

The Anfield chief, who has an estimated wealth of $2.7bn and also owns baseball side Boston Red Sox and the Boston Globe newspaper, has now set an asking price of $15m. He bought the six-acre plot in 1991 for $850,000 (£646,000) in 1991 so stands to make an astonishing profit despite his price-cut.

Pictures from inside the mansion show that Henry owns a table-football set branded with Liverpool's colours and club logo.

The estate agent tasked with selling the property, Senada Adzem, said: 'We looked at everything that's currently pending, available and what the competition is.

'We decided that we want to be priced very competitively because there is a relatively high supply of trophy properties on the South Florida market now.'

The property, based in the Le Lac neighbourhood in Boca Raton and has seven bedrooms and 14.5 bathrooms across 27,832 square feet.

On the main level, there's a foyer with a sweeping staircase and a two-story living room

Elsewhere, there is a home cinema, a sports bar, a library with cherry wood walls, a gym, a loft with card tables, an underground wine cellar and a recording studio.

There is also a swimming pool with cabana seating, an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, a clay tennis court and a pair of motor courts.

Henry took over Liverpool in 2010 through the Fenway Sports Group of which he is president.

Liverpool are currently first in the Premier League but have played one game more than rivals Manchester City in second place.

They are also in the quarter-final of the Champions League, where they will play Porto. They defeated the Portuguese side in the tournament last season, when they reached the final before being beaten themselves by Real Madrid.
