London, Aug 28 (ANI): The ramshackle house where Muhammad Ali spent his childhood is up on the market for 50,000 dollars.

Owner Steve Stephenson said on Monday that he is selling the small white house with a sagging front porch overhang.

The house is situated along a tree-lined western Louisville neighborhood made up of mostly neat, modest homes.

A sign in front of the house says the property is for sale by owner, rather than through a realtor. Stephenson declined to provide further details.

According to the Jefferson County Property Value Administrator’s website, the house is assessed at 23,260 dollars.

In front of the one-story home is a state historical marker recognizing the residence as Ali’s boyhood home, when he was known as Cassius Clay.

The marker says Ali lived in the mostly black neighborhood with his parents and brother and attended local public schools.

It was at the home where the future boxing champion’s “values were instilled,” the marker says.

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said the city has an interest in preserving the home of a world-famous native son.

“Anything we can do to preserve and expand his legacy, we want to do that,” the Daily Mail quoted Fischer as saying on Monday.

“His home serves as an inspiration for people to look at that and say, ‘If this young guy, why not me?'” he said.

Ali kept his ties to his hometown. The Muhammad Ali Center, a museum and education center in downtown Louisville, is one of the city’s prime tourist attractions.

He came home for a 70th birthday bash early this year. (ANI)
