Sydney Swans footballer Jeremy Laidler has secured $750,000 for his Moonee Ponds, Melbourne holding.
Domain reported earlier this month he expected $600,000 for the 30 Ngarveno Street weatherboard which appeared unduly cautious as he bought it for $590,000 in 2012.
It has three bedrooms and a balcony off the rear living area offering city skyline views.
Jeremy Laidler's property was a short walk to the Puckle Street shopping strip, sometimes described as the Toorak Road of Melbourne's north west.
Alex Carbon agents Charles Bongiovanni and Alex Puglia secured the sale ahead of today's scheduled auction.
Laidler played for Geelong and Carlton before joining Sydney last year.
