The retired cricketing champion Shane Warne has bought again in Brighton, not far from the one recently sold for about $20 million.
The spin king reportedly paid about $5.5 million for his new Melbourne home.
It was the home of AFL legend Matthew Lloyd for almost 10 years.
Lloyd sold the lavish five-bedroom property to private investigator Anthony Thompson for $4.2 million in 2015.
Warne's recent circa $20 million sale of Melville made a nice profit on that property, after paying $14,249,999 to buy it back in August 2016, CoreLogic records show.
It was the second time Warne had sold the 1880 bluestone mansion on a 3014sq m block.
