AFTER living in Wyndham his entire life, Australian pop music royalty Anthony Callea is selling his house.
Callea became a household name after being the runner-up in the 2004 season of Australian Idol and his debut single The Prayer is still the fastest selling single by an Australian artist.
Late last month he posted a link to his house’s profile on a real estate website on social networking site twitter.
“Know someone looking for a house in Point Cook? Well, I have the perfect one for you in beautiful Sanctuary Lakes,” Callea said.
The house, which was being sold by Sanctuary Lakes Real Estate, had an asking price of $649,000 but has since been advertised as under contract.
“Distinctive street presence with inspired architectural elements defines this Resort home which offers a relaxed family living environment in an exclusive, secure gated precinct,” the property profile said.
“Spacious interiors and first-class entertaining areas deliver sophisticated designer living with impeccable attention to detail and quality finishes throughout.”
The house includes four bedrooms and three designer bathrooms and it is directly across from the Sanctuary Lakes golf course.
“Light filled open plan design includes separate formal lounge with built in feature fireplace for winter ambience, a fabulous kitchen fitted with stone benches, upgraded stainless steel Smeg appliances plus ample bench space,” the profile said.
“The adjoining dining area flows through to a north-facing family room with full height windows providing a tranquil outlook across parkland.”
Callea’s management did not respond to questions about where he is planning on living.
