Beloved Aussie icon Jana Pittman lists her family home for sale
Former Olympian Jana Pittman is selling her family home purchased at the beginning of the pandemic following the birth of her twins earlier this year.
The six bedroom Beecroft home was the perfect place to spend months of lockdown and Pittman made the most of it by renovating the kitchen and adding a butlers pantry after she purchased it in July 2020 for $4 million.
She also put in solar panels and new air-conditioning while revamping the flooring.
While the house has a large floorplan that includes a playroom and a retreat, it could still prove a squeeze as her six kids grow. The selling agent Kevin Dearlove from Stone Real Estate Beecroft said in addition to the need for more space, the move could potentially be work-related.
The champion athlete was the first Australian woman to compete in both the summer and Winter Olympic Games and was the last woman standing in last year’s season of SAS. She also studied at medical school as a single mother and is now a doctor working in women’s health.
It is understood that she plans to purchase a base in the city and a family home locally or in the Hills District.
Pittman’s favourite thing about the house was its floorplan and the way the family room overlooked the pool, as well as the community feel of the suburb.
Sustainability is an important feature for Pittman, who installed a 5,000L rainwater tank under the house and solar panels that link to a battery.
The property also has home automation and electric gates, heated towel rails and heated flooring in the upstairs bathroom.
The kitchen has marble benchtops and splashbacks, carbonated water on tap and three Miele wall ovens, if you’re interested in this luxurious property the home goes to auction on the 9th
of July with a guide of $5 million.
