The footballer bid down the phone for the charming house in Collinswood, on Adelaide’s city edge, from the stunning Yorke Peninsula.

The buyer’s partner was kept in the loop as the bidding unfolded.

Ray White Prospect agents Stefan Siciliano and Adam Humzy handed the deal.

“The winning bidding lived around the corner with his partner but was on a footy trip on the Yorke Peninsula so he was bidding over the phone. His dad attended and was on the phone to the buyer’s partner,” Siciliano said in the agency’s weekend auction report.

“There were both couples and families looking at the property, and they ranged in age.

“They loved the land size, it’s massive, along with the large living areas. The general location was also fantastic.”

The property occupies a 1088-square-metre block and offered volume and scope, with not just one lounge room but the bonus of an additional sitting room and a formal dining room.

Casual dining was positioned next to a large kitchen, with french doors throughout, and a colossal backyard.
