Renowned Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe has recently listed his Sydney-based Woollahra residence on the market with an asking price of $3.7 million.
Public records indicate that Thorpe, a five-time gold medalist, purchased the property in 2017 for $2.75 million, and he is currently seeking to downsize within this prestigious suburb.
This luxurious four-bedroom, three-bathroom dwelling is situated within a boutique security complex comprising just six units. Notably, Thorpe’s residence occupies a prime location at the rear of the building, offering complete seclusion from the bustling main street.
Olympic legend Ian Thorpe has put his Woollahra home in Sydney on the market.
Spanning an expansive 216 square meters across three levels, this abode boasts a bathroom on each floor and includes coveted double parking. The top floor’s third bedroom can double as a secondary living area, complete with an additional balcony, while the fourth bedroom can easily function as a home office.
The solid brick structure is discretely nestled behind the façade of a historic 1860s mansion, which was reconfigured into six residences during the 1980s. Modern amenities such as ducted air conditioning, a heated pool, and a spa enhance the property’s appeal. Additionally, its location offers the convenience of a short stroll to Queen Street village, Edgecliff Station, local dining establishments, and Trumper Park.
Ian Thorpe is considered Australia’s greatest ever male swimmer.
Lead selling agent Courtney Wong, representing Black Diamondz Property Concierge, described this residence as ideal for professional couples and families with older children. Wong emphasized its secluded position at the back of the building, which shields it from street noise and ensures complete privacy.
Thorpe’s intention to downsize within the Woollahra area is evident, and the property’s first open house inspection is scheduled for the upcoming Saturday. The auction for this listing is slated for Saturday, September 16th, at 1 pm.
The sale of this property is being managed by the real estate team at Black Diamondz Property Concierge, including agents Courtney Wong, Monika Tu, and Jad Khattar.
