Former world's no.1 Roger Federer and perfect have always been synonymous. Perfect tennis career, perfect family life and now perfect home. On Wednesday, Yahoo Sports Europe has released photos of recently completed Swiss Villa of the 17-time Grand Slam winner, and boy, it was simple awesome.

According to Yahoo Sports Europe, Federer's real estate is worth as much as £6.5m and it has all the goods - picturesque views, sophisticated designs and cozy ambiance - anyone could dream of for a perfect family home.

"After construction delays, the Federer family are now about to finally move into their new villa in the Swiss Alps, reports Swiss newspaper Schweiz am Sonntag. The villa is 500 square metres, has three floors, a swimming pool, a glass dome around the dining room and views of lake Zurich," via Yahoo Sports.

"Swiss media reports claim that the villa will be split into two separate luxury chalets, one for Roger, his wife Mirka and their two sets of twins, and the other for his parents Robert and Lynette."

Federer, who is ranked by Forbes Magazine as the 16th richest athlete in the world with earnings of $55 million out of endorsement deals (Nike, Moet-Chandon, Wilson, Rolex and Mercedez Benz) and tournament winnings last year, has had a strong 2014 campaign with five titles - including two ATP Masters 1000 tournaments - and his first Grand Slam finals appearance in two years at Wimbledon Open championships.  

The Swiss almost reclaimed the top spot in the ATP world rankings, but Novak Djokovic came through with a strong performance in the last month of the season as he won the Paris Masters and ATP World Tour finals to end the year on top of the men's tennis standings.

Nevertheless, Federer's former coach Tony Roche believes the Swiss excellence on the tennis court will continue at least for the next four to five years.

"I think he can play as long as he wants to on the mental side. Physically, I think he can play for another four-five years without any problem," Roche said in a recent interview via Tennis Tonic "Another Slam definitely. Obviously, Wimbledon is his best chance but he's knocking on the door in last few Slams. As long as the guys still respect Roger, he is always going to be a threat."
