According to realestate.com.au QUEENSLAND rugby star Jordan Petaia has paid $1.78m for a post-war pad just down the road from where he went to school.
Born and raised in Brisbane, the 22-year-old went to Brisbane State High School in South Brisbane, so it seems fitting he should buy a home in the same catchment area.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in Loch Street, is in a quiet enclave of West End and offers plenty of character features.
Recently renovated, there’s a modern kitchen, open-plan living and dining, and a balcony along the side of the house.
The 450 sqm block has a low-maintenance yard with mature hedges and latticework offering extra privacy.
The location just 2km from the CBD is key, with Southbank Parklands, GOMA and Orleigh Park all within walking distance.
It’s a good thing he bought something easy to lock-up-and-leave because the Queensland Reds outside back is on his way to Argentina as part of the Wallabies squad.
Petaia has worn the gold jersey on 16 occasions and the maroon for Queensland 35 times, including starting on the wing in their 2021 Harvey Norman Super Rugby AU triumph.
He recently resigned with Rugby Australia through to the end of 2024, which puts him in a strong position to make the national squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
Records show Petaia also owns a house in Fairfield, which he bought for $790,000 in 2020.
