Retired St Kilda footballer and coach Grant Thomas and his wife Kerry have sold in Brighton.
They had $9 million-plus hopes for their non-waterfront that was bought by Nicola Rivett for $9.1 million.
The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom abode came with a separate studio on its 1443-square- metre block.
The 23 Moule Avenue, also configured with a pool, spa and tennis court, was built after the block cost $2.44 million in 2001.
Its build features on the website of Loewe Projects, a prestige building company owned by another St Kilda ex-footballer, Stewart Loewe.
Kay & Burton marketed the home.
Thomas has enjoyed a media career on the AFL since his retirement in 1985. He was coach at St Kilda for five years until 2006.
The couple retain a Great Ocean Road property in Johanna.
