Fresh from committing to another year with the GWS Giants, veteran player Callan Ward and his expectant wife, Ruby Keddie, have listed their North Bondi home.
Bought for $4.866m in 2022, it has a guide of $4.8m through Sydney Sotheby’s Double Bay agents James Ball and Edward Quince, who have the conjunctional listing with Ray White’s Dion Markovics.
The 1920s home on Midelton Ave, which was renovated fully in 2021, hasn’t been touched in the past three years.
It is being marketed as being “influenced by the renowned modernist school of architecture, with sweeping geometric curves, generous proportions and seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living spaces”.

Ward, 34, last month signed on for his 18th season in the AFL, but had been weighing up a move back to his native Melbourne, according to some reports. He has spent the past 14 years with GWS, having initially been with the Western Bulldogs.
Ward told AFL.com.au earlier this year that he had been contemplating retirement but that the arrival of coach Adam Kingsley ahead of the 2023 season reignited his love for the game.
