Radio’s Tom Joyner sells Florida home with a boxing ring for $19 million
Radio host Tom Joyner has cashed out of Golden Seashore, Fla., promoting his waterfront mansion for $19 million.
Joyner, who retired in 2019 after 25 years of internet hosting the nationally syndicated “Tom Joyner Morning Present,” paid $10.5 million for the property in 2015 and spent $7.5 million on a dramatic renovation with one purpose in thoughts.
“I wished it to be very straightforward to see the ocean from most locations in my home,” he advised Architectural Digest in 2020.
He tore down archways to open up sight strains, introduced in colourful accent items and added a number of customized touches — most notably a boxing ring within the basement and a bath surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass within the rest room.
The villa spans three tales on a 3rd of an acre, scattering three bedrooms and three.5 loos throughout 7,340 sq. ft. A sculptural staircase sweeps by the art-filled lobby, and different highlights embrace a gymnasium, chef’s kitchen and front room lined with glass.
A second-story terrace overlooks the oceanfront yard, the place leafy landscaping and a louvered cabana encompass a swimming pool. On the fringe of the area, a grassy garden leads straight to the seashore.
Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman dealt with each ends of the deal.
A local of Alabama, Joyner is finest recognized for internet hosting “The Tom Joyner Morning Present,” which ran from 1994-2019 and featured information, sports activities and R&B music. He was inducted into the Nationwide Radio Corridor of Fame in 1998, and a decade later, he was inducted into the Worldwide Civil Rights Stroll of Fame.
