The former Tiger bought the Kerferd Rd home in 2013 for $990,000, but it goes under the hammer with a $1.8m asking price.
The three-time Premiership winner is also a Norm Smith Medallist who claimed the 2017 Brownlow and retired at the end of the 2024 AFL season.
He lived in the three-bedroom Victorian terrace for a number of years, before making it an investment property that he rented out until recently.
Nick Johnston Real Estate’s Rachael Cavallaro is handling the sale and said there had been good interest in the property since it was listed for sale early in November.
Ms Cavallaro said most of the buyers were being drawn in by the renovation of the character home that set it up for modern tastes, as well as its convenient location.
And Martin could soon be in for a further property windfall, with plans to sell a number of commercial properties he bought as part of a syndicate including manager Ralph Carr.
A 401-407 Victoria St, Abbotsford, property being sold by the former footballer has been listed with hopes of a more than $9m sale via Paul Jones Real Estate.
Mr Jones said the property had attracted international interest as well as local buyers so far.
An expressions of interest campaign for the property ends at 3pm, December 11.
A second commercial property at 367 Victoria St that Martin part owns is expected to be sold in the new year with $4m-$5m hopes.
While it’s unclear how much of the sales Martin will claim, if sold in line with expectations the commercial properties would have gained more than $7m since they were purchased.
