Glamour sports couple ex-pro surfer Luke Egan and Fox Sports presenter Jessica Yates have offloaded their $5.5m Cronulla home, prior to auction.

The home was listed earlier this month with $5.5m price hopes and was snapped up on Wednesday prior to its November 2 auction.

The stunning, newly built Wanda Beach pad has been home to Egan and Yates’ growing family for the past four years.

Given the challenging market, and that nationally home prices have suffered their biggest fall on record, the quick sale is a great result for both the vendors and sales agents Highland’s Laura McKay and Mitchell Wynn.

“The home generated fierce enquiry from locals and buyers outside the area,” Ms McKay said.

“Highland hosted private appointments throughout a two-week period and in the end, a local secured it.”

The 5-bed, 4-bath, 4-car home is a short walk from Wanda Beach and the shoreline of Cronulla’s Bate Bay. It features a saltwater pool and sustainable building design.

“The residence features a beautiful contemporary design that offers a commanding high-set position and a superbly finished family home inspired by resort-style living and entertaining,” said Ms McKay.

“The vast array of sun-washed living zones and alfresco settings in this home are perfectly in tune with the beachside location, while living areas throughout are carefully crafted to create a sublime sense of light and space.”

One of Australia’s most famous surfers, former world No. 2 Egan competed on the world stage for more than two decades. The 52-year-old now works as surfing coach.

Jessica Yates has been a leading presenter on Fox Sports for 5 years. She is the face of Fox Sports V8 Supercars and F1 coverage as well as hosting NRL game day coverage on Fox League.

“The decision by the owners to sell this magnificent property offered a new buyer the rare opportunity to take advantage of unique coastal lifestyle in a premium home that is ready to move into,” said Mr Wynn.

“From the timeless marble kitchen and butler’s pantry to the indulgent master retreat with opulent ensuite, walk-in robe and sun-drenched north facing deck, this home has the best of everything. At the top of my list is that the sand can be between your toes, or you can be on a surfboard within a few minutes’ walk from your front door.”
