The former home of AFL great Paul Roos is on offer with grand price expectations.

Located in the inner Melbourne suburb of Elwood in Victoria, the four-bedroom abode at 92 Ruskin Street, is listed with a price guide of $4.6 to $4.9 million.

Paul, who coached both the Sydney Swans and the Melbourne Football Club prior to his retirement, sold the property for a cool $3,270,000 back in May 2016, according to Pricefinder.

It’s understood Paul and his wife Tami bought the three-bathroom home in February 2014 for $2,525,000.

Domain’s latest data reveals the median house price for Elwood to be $2,402,500, an increase of 11 per cent from last year.

The property at 92 Ruskin Street is listed by Sam Gamon and Rhianna Hoyle of Chisholm & Gamon Elwood, and very much takes on an industrial-style aesthetic.

There is instant kerb appeal with the home’s angular roof and box-like concrete shape.

Interiors feature natural timber, a very on-trend sunken lounge, as well as an elegant dining area in neutral tones with a few splashes of bold colour.

A central staircase and dramatic pendant lights add touches of pizzazz, while the timber floorboards, curved walls, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows complement the overall vibe.

Those with culinary enthusiasts will be in awe of the contemporary kitchen with its marble benchtop and splashback, sleek black cabinetry and top-tier appliances such as the Bertazzoni oven.

There are also multiple entertaining areas with an alfresco deck, pool, manicured gardens, and private terrace off the generously sized master bedroom.

Expressions of interest for the contemporary abode close by 4pm on November 28.

Paul was a senior coach for the Sydney Swans from 2002 to 2010, before joining the Melbourne Football Club as a coach from 2014 to 2016.

He was also inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
