The residence last traded in 2016 for $1,212,500, public records show, and has since had a dramatic transformation.

Bec Judd, a former TV presenter, speech pathologist and model, as well as seasoned renovator and self-taught interior designer, documented the transformation on social media.

She earlier described falling in love with the home during a Melbourne winter, highlighting the birdsong and kangaroos in the bushland surrounding the gently rolling three-hectare block.

“[It had] this bush Australiana vibe,” she said when the home was listed. “We felt like we were hours away from the city, but it was literally 59 minutes door-to-door.”

The couple previously listed the home on Airbnb and visited on weekends. Then last year she oversaw a fast transformation, in which the home was gutted and rebuilt in four months thanks to builder Dale Cheesman of The Melbourne Builder. Landscape architect Nathan Burkett redid the gardens.

The mid-century brick home now features Patagonia stone, smokey grey oak floors and bespoke joinery, with an open-plan living and dining space, including a wood fire heater, and an integrated fridge/freezer in the kitchen.

There’s an al fresco terrace with barbecue kitchen, a heated spa/pool and a fire pit.

The Marshall White selling agents were Ben Vieth and Adrian Calcedo. Vieth confirmed the sale, but declined to comment on the price or buyer when contacted.

The buyer was represented by Morrell and Koren buyer’s advocate Matthew Cleverdon, who also confirmed the sale but declined to comment when contacted.

Bec Judd earlier expressed interest in working on future renovation projects closer to home.

Chris is a former AFL player, and was the captain of Carlton and the West Coast Eagles.

The Mornington Peninsula’s property market has been trading sideways after coming off its lockdown-era boom, as potential home buyers look for options closer to their CBD offices and investors are discouraged by the Victorian government’s land tax on second homes.

The median house price on the Mornington Peninsula was $885,000 in the March quarter, down 1.7 per cent from a year ago, Domain data shows.
