Olympic champion Grant Hackett lists luxurious Brighton mansion for up to $8.4m

Australian Olympic swimming legend Grant Hackett and his wife Sharlene have placed their luxury five-bedroom, five-bathroom Brighton home at 11 Rothesay Avenue on the market, with price expectations ranging from $7.95 million to $8.4 million.

The couple bought the 1,040sq m property in 2018 and have extensively renovated it, transforming it into a stylish, wellness-focused family sanctuary.

Situated just 100 metres from the beach, the home is located in one of Melbourne’s most prestigious suburbs.

The Herald Sun reported Marshall White Bayside director Campbell Butterss praised the home, stating: โ€œGrant and Sharlene donโ€™t do anything by halves, and thatโ€™s reflected in this home. Every finish is of the highest standard, and the level of detail throughout is incredible.โ€

Selling via expression of interest, the Marshal White listing states that the architecturally striking five-bedroom, five-bathroom Brighton home has been sublimely transformed, creating a luxe, wellness-inspired, resort-style family sanctuary that will captivate with its gallery-like spaces and high-end bespoke appointments.
