The former Port Adelaide star built two mirror-image townhouses in 2019, before renting them both out and later moving into one of them, which is now up for sale.

Former Demons and Power AFL player Jack Watts is offloading one of his new Edithvale properties, which passed in at its Saturday auction on a $1.35m offer.

The ex-Port Adelaide star built the two mirror-image townhouses at 31A and 31B Ivan Ave in 2019, before renting them both out and later moving into the No. 31A pad, which is still for sale.

The four-bedroom home had a $1.35m-$1.485m price guide ahead of its auction, and Watts plans to move into his currently tenant-occupied house next door once it sells.

“They’re new builds so I can’t really see much value adding to them anymore, so hopefully will sell this and try and do the same again,” he said.

“A mate of mine is a builder and project manager so we’re looking down in Frankston at the moment to do a little development.”

Hodges Sandringham director Angus Graham said there were a couple of interested parties who weren’t able to attend the auction, and he was hoping it would sell in the 24 to 48 hours afterwards.

“We had a later offer of $1.4m and the reserve price is $1.45m,” Mr Graham said.

Dream homes topping buyers' searches

The home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and boasts proximity to the Chelsea Golf Course and local shopping strip. With four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a rear garden, the home is ideal for a growing family.

The master bedroom is plush and offers treetop views. The kitchen is well-equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and features stone benchtops. The highlights of the home also include zoned ducted heating and air-conditioning with an abundance of storage, and an auto-garage.
