Nixon and Mr Jacks, a builder and property developer, sold their Victorian-era home earlier this year with records showing the deal was finalised in June.
In 2013, Nixon purchased the abode for $4.6m, meaning the $9.1 sale resulted in a seven-figure profit for the couple minus any renovation costs.
And it was just two years earlier that Nixon sold a Middle Park terrace for $2.35m.
The renovated Brighton property features a leafy garden with established trees, a solar-heated pool, poolside gym and sauna, and barbecue.
There’s a 6m-long island bench, butler’s pantry and Miele appliances in the kitchen.

The abode is surrounding by a verdant garden with a firepit and a cubbyhouse.
In the kitchen, a 6m-long island bench, butler’s pantry and Miele appliances including dual ovens and an induction cooktop take centre stage.
A fitted office, rumpus room with a dedicated study area, a movie and games room, bathroom with a freestanding bath tub, guest powder room, and a laundry with a heated drying rack are among the other highlights.
Two of the bedrooms have ensuites, and one bedroom offers a walk-in wardrobe.

Brighton’s median house price is $3,237,500, according to PropTrack.
Nixon’s former TV gigs include co-hosting Temptation, the Logies Red Carpet Arrivals and Test Australia: The National IQ Test alongside Eddie McGuire, plus appearances on Carols by Candlelight, the Today show and Micallef Tonight, a variety show hosted by comedian Shaun Micallef.
She also co-hosted the iconic Australian variety and comedy program Hey Hey It’s Saturday from 1997 until 1999, and graced the screens again for its 2009 and 2010 reunion specials.
In her early acting days, Nixon played a nurse on the police drama Blue Heelers.
Her radio work has covered presenting on Nova, Mix and Smooth FM, along with 3AW on the AM dial.

The children’s book, illustrated by Heath McKenzie, was named as a notable book in the Picture Book of the Year category at the 2018 Children’s Book Council of Australia’s awards.
Following the 2004 tsunami in Asia, Nixon travelled to Thailand and Myanmar as an ambassador with the humanitarian organisation World Vision.
