Chris Judd's four bedroom family home in Melbourne set to go under the hammer for $2.8million

Chris Judd's former family home in Melbourne is set to go under the hammer with a price guide of $2.6million - $2.86million. 

The AFL great lived on the vintage Sandringham property until he began his career in first-class footy in Perth in 2002.

Situated on the Mornington coast 18km from the CBD the large and cosy vintage timber home boasts four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Chris' parents, Andrew and Lisa Judd, are now planning to move on after first snapping up the delightful pad in 1997 for $440,000, the Herald Sun reported on Friday.

According to the publication, the proud mum and dad decorated the home with pictures and memorabilia from Chris's magnificent footy career which saw him win two Brownlow medals. 

Built in the 1920s, the sprawling home boasts well tended gardens and a spacious layout. 

Highlights include a top floor 'rumpus' room and a bedroom boasting a private balcony.

The ground floor, meanwhile, hosts a large living room which opens out to a porch looking over the street.

There's also a private dining room and study and a large kitchen with breakfast bench.

Beautifully maintained the home retains many of its Edwardian stylings including timber highlights throughout, box windows and decorative ceiling fixtures.

Other features include a cellar, courtyard and veggie patch and private parking.

Known as one of the AFL's greatest players Chris Judd, 41, lived at the Sandringham home when was drafted to the West Coast Eagles in 2001.

He ended up as captain of the side, before finishing his career with Carlton in 2015, after kicking an impressive 228 goals over the course of his 14-years in the AFL.

Since leaving footy behind Chris has led a high-profile life on social media alongside his wife Bec Judd, 44, model, designer and former TV presenter. 

The pair recently turned heads amongst other A-listers at the Piper-Heidsieck 2025 Australian Open media event at Melbourne Park last month.

Chris attended Caulfield Grammar, a private school in Melbourne, from 1996 to 2001.

Last year, Chris revealed he decided to shave his head in 2006 when his mother Lisa Engel made a brutal comment about the state of 'flimsy hair'.

He said he was reluctant to go through a huge hairstyle change and wanted to keep his locks, but his mother Lisa intervened.

'I think it was my mum who sat me down about a week after the Grand Final and there was a picture of me in the newspaper and she said, 'I think it's time to shave it.' 'It was looking a little bit flimsy at the front, but I reckon I had another year or two in me to be honest.' he said on The Front Bar.

When asked by host Sam Pang why he didn't 'stay strong' and ignore his mother's advice, Chris confessed she may have been right in her brutal judgement.

'It's an uncomfortable conversation to have. If someone who cares about you has gone to the trouble to say, it's a fair chance they're on the money,' he said.

Chris then joked he still hasn't 'ruled out' getting a Turkey hair transplant.

The retired footy player shares four children with Queen WAG Bec—son Oscar, 13, daughter Billie, 10, and twin boys Tom and Darcy, eight.
