Cricket legend Shane Warne lists Brighton mansion with guide of $6.8 million to $7.4 million

Former Australian one-day cricket captain and prolific property flipper Shane Warne has listed his grand residence in the prestige Melbourne suburb of Brighton with a price guide of $6.8 million to $7.4 million.

The luxurious five-bedroom home is an entertainer’s delight boasting a home theatre, wine-tasting room and nightclub-quality bar.

Warne paid $5.4 million for the spread in early 2018, public records show, meaning he could be in for a windfall of as much as $2 million in two years on the Newbay Crescent abode.

It’s another step for a busy property trader in the exclusive bayside enclave. His purchase of the home came soon after he offloaded an expansive near-$19 million block on the suburb’s sought-after Middle Crescent in another savvy deal.

It was a property so nice he owned it twice, dropping $3.6 million on the home in 2000 with ex-wife Simone Callahan and reportedly spending a similar sum in renovations before selling it for $8.8 million in 2007.

He bought it back for $14,249,999 in 2016, before selling again for $18,888,888.

Other addresses he has owned include a house at 16 Park Street, bought for $3.7 million in 2007 and sold for $6,775,000 in 2009, and 6 William Street – shared with actor Elizabeth Hurley after his separation from Callahan – bought for $7.55 million in 2009 and sold for $10.85 million in 2013.

His latest offering to the market offers top amenities within its French provincial design.

Aside from the entertaining spots, there’s an auto-clean pool and spa, Miele kitchen appliances and Calacatta benchtops, plus a basement room for a gym or children’s retreat.

Warne is rumoured to have bought into the new high-end Saint Moritz development in St Kilda, although details will not become public until settlement.

Selling agent for the Brighton home, Jonathan Dixon, of JP Dixon, was contacted for comment.
