Retired St Kilda AFL star Leigh Montagna and wife Erinn are selling their smartly renovated Malvern home. The two-time All-Australian paid $560,000 for the 1905 Edwardian in 2005. It was a project for the couple who renovated about four years ago.
Set on 400sq m, the single-level home comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a wraparound deck opening from the living room. In 2016, after its renovation, it became an $800-a-week rental. Kay & Burton South Yarra agents Darren Lewenberg and Grant Samuel are marketing the Johnstone Street home for an October 27 auction with a guide of $1.6 million-$1.76m. The street record came two doors down when a renovated 1920s home fetched $3.4m in 2016. The Albert Park-based Montagna is now in the media working with Fox Footy and Triple M.
Victorian classic seeking $4.6m
Hong Kong-born Australian artist John Young and art director wife Kate Mizrahi are selling Girraween, their long-held Hawthorn home, which comes with arched hallway and classical ceilings.
The grand double-storey 1880s Victorian-era home on Power Street cost the couple $1.5m in 2003. They have since renovated the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home, which comes with library. There are double-glazed windows behind its high fence. The home sits on a 1190sq m block, and its rear yard comes with established kitchen garden and potager shed. Kay & Burton Hawthorn agents Sam Wilkinson and Scott Patterson have a $4.4m-$4.6m guide.

She launched her own self-titled fashion label in 1995.
Plumb position in Toorak
A Toorak home belonging to Melbourne’s billionaire Munz family has been listed for sale. The Reliance Group plumbing family paid $8.05m in 2015 when buying from BMF construction’s Ian Wright. Wright had bought it from Andrew Cannon, Australia’s honorary consul to Monaco, for $6.5m as a flip. It had been the longtime home of his late father, Dr Rob Cannon, since the 1960s. Dr Cannon was a celebrity dentist with American business tycoon Howard Hughes among his clients.
The now updated Albany Street home has a price guidance of $11.5m-$12.5m from Kay & Burton agents Michael Gibson and Robyn Feigen. Set in 1245sq m of gardens, it has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a number of reception rooms.
The Munz family joined the Melbourne billionaire ranks in 2016 after they listed Reliance Worldwide on the ASX.
