Ex-AFL chief lists renovated Melbourne mansion
Former AFL chief executive officer Andrew Demetriou and his wife, Symone Richards, have listed their 1930s Marcus Martin designed home.
The pair are expecting $15-$16.5 million for 5 Tyalla Crescent, Toorak.
They paid $6.775m in December, 2007 – just into the Global Financial Crisis.
Recently the mansion underwent a swank David Hicks renovation.
Sotheby’s International Realty’s Antoinette Nido and Max Ruttner are the agents.
The listing comes three years since another ex-AFL CEO, Gillon McLachlan, paid $13.5m for a historic Prahran East home – an upsize from a contemporary dwelling around the corner in the suburb, sold in 2023 for $8m – a $3m discount.
Six bedrooms, three studies
Spreading 616 square metres – or 66 square – 5 Tyalla Cr contains six bedrooms and three studies.
There is also a six car garage adding 123 sqm.
The site covers 1066 sqm with a pool and garden with firepit.
The pocket is walking distance to Heyington station, St Catherine’s and Scotch College, the agents said.
Mr Demetriou quit as AFL CEO in 2014 after 11 years.
Toorak, Melbourne’s most expensive suburb measured by median house value, is six kilometres south east of the CBD.
