Ian Thorpe sets up his Woollahra unit for $3.7 million as retired Olympic champion ‘downsizes’
Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe is selling his Woolahra home for $3.7 million.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom luxury home on Ocean Street is perfect for those “looking for a private escape,” according to rental agent Black Diamondz.
Ian bought the property in 2017 for €2.75 and now hopes to make a profit of almost €1 million.
Speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald, rental agent Courtney Wong said the five-time Olympic gold medalist is selling the property because he plans to downsize.
Courtney said the home for sale is “the best in the building” of six complexes because it’s on the back side of the street.

“It’s completely private and secluded,” he added.
Despite the property’s $3.7 million price tag, the rental agent said the property is a perfect “stepping stone” for someone who can’t afford a home.
The 216 square meter house is modern and airy with an open plan living space and large sliding doors leading to the courtyard.
