AFL: Shane Crawford and Olivia Anderson list $9million Brighton mansion

Footy legend Shane Crawford and his partner Olivia Anderson have listed their Brighton mansion for sale, following the family’s move to New South Wales.

The four-bedroom Victorian estate, which the couple completely renovated after buying it for $3.05million in 2009, has a price guide of $9million to $9.9million.

The Ninja Warrior host, 46, told The Herald Sun he’d been travelling back and forth between Victoria and NSW since the family bought a new property there last year.

But now he’s ready to sell up in Melbourne, and hopes to spend more time up north with Olivia and their sons, Charlie, Ben and identical twins Jack and Harry.

‘Covid has brought a lot of change, and the family has made a sea change, so it’s a waste living in such a big house here,’ Crawford said.

The 1887-built property, known as ‘Ellesmere’, features a 20m pool, a tennis court, a gym and a steam room.

While it still has some traditional fittings, the home has been thoroughly modernised with marble fireplaces, Italian marble benches and hydronic in-floor heating.

The rooms also boast soaring ceilings, huge bay windows and Tasmanian Oak parquetry flooring.

The home is just a short distance from Church Street, known for being the shopping, dining and entertainment capital of Bayside.

‘We have had 12 amazing years there and restored it back to its prime,’ Anderson said, adding that it was time to ‘pass on our home for another family to enjoy’.

‘It’s the childhood home of the four boys, so it’s sad. But times have changed and we are so excited about the next chapter.’

The property was previously home to Brighton mayor Thomas Wilson.

Locals previously described the estate as ‘the paddock’ because of its sprawling land size.
