Former Collingwood star Alan Didak is selling his luxury Kew home.
Former Collingwood star Alan Didak is hoping to kick a big goal at auction, listing his luxury Kew home with $3.95m price hopes.
Property documents confirm the premiership forward’s four-level pad is a limestone-clad showpiece that was completed just three years ago, designed by acclaimed architect Coy Yiontis.
Set in the heart of Studley Park, the residence offers lift access to every level, a north-facing garden, a solar and gas-heated pool, and a deluxe basement speak-easy complete with a cocktail bar, wine display and plush built-in seating.

The outdoor area features a built-in barbecue, manicured gardens and heated pool.

Didak played 218 games for Collingwood between 2001 and 2013, and was renowned for his dazzling left foot, matchwinning flair and ability to deliver in big moments.
A former number three draft pick, he was a key part of the Magpies’ 2010 premiership side that broke a 20-year flag drought, won the club’s Copeland Trophy as best and fairest in 2006, and earned all-Australian honours the same year.
Known for being part of the Magpies notorious ‘rat pack’ alongside Dane Swan, Ben Johnson, Heath Shaw, and Chris Tarrant., Didak was a crowd favourite among Pies fans.
The north-facing backyard features a gas and solar-heated pool, manicured gardens and built-in barbecue.
A hidden speak-easy-style bar and wine cellar is one of the home’s standout features.
The location is within easy reach of Kew Junction’s cafes and shops, private schools including Xavier College and Methodist Ladies’ College, and Yarra River parkland and cycling trails.
Other features include zoned heating and cooling, heated bathroom floors, a remote double garage, ducted vacuum system, security cameras, alarm system and remote blinds.
The deluxe main bedroom includes a walk-in dressing room and a marble-finished luxury ensuite.
Marshall White Boroondara director Chris Barrett declined to comment.
The home is scheduled to go under the hammer at 12.30pm on May 17.
