Cricket great and prolific property flipper Shane Warne is taking his grand Brighton residence to auction next month, lowering his price hopes after an earlier attempt at a sale pre-COVID.
The stunning Newbay Crescent home was earlier listed in mid-March, just as the world began to shut down to curb the coronavirus outbreak, with a price guide of $6.8 million to $7.4 million.
But well-heeled buyers could see an opportunity, as the former Australian one-day cricket captain is now asking only $5.8 million to $6.38 million.
Set on 662 square metres of land in the sought-after bayside suburb, the house features five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and a four-car garage.
An entertainer’s dream, it boasts a pool and spa, a nightclub-quality bar, home theatre and wine-tasting room with space for 530 bottles.
The kitchen includes Miele appliances and Calacatta benches and there is an al fresco entertaining area past the open plan living/dining space.
Warne paid $5.4 million for the spread in early 2018, public records show.
He announced the listing on social media, tweeting, “Yes we are selling our family home … Sad but I know this amazing house will make a family very happy and they will create their own amazing memories!”
