Basketball star Matthew Dellavedova and wife Anna are hoping their Sandringham house scores a $4.5m-$4.7m sale.

The ex-Melbourne United player signed a three-year deal with the Sydney Kings this year.

In 2016, Dellavedova won an NBA championship as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers alongside the league’s all-time highest scorer LeBron James.

Afterwards, the Aussie champion signed a four-year $US38 million (A$50.5m) to play with the Milwaukee Bucks although he returned to Cleveland from 2018 to 2021.

Dellavedova was part of the Australian mens’ team, the Boomers, that won bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

He also represented Australia at the 2012, 2016 and 2024 Olympics.

In March 2025, Dellavedova made headlines when handed his NBL finals’ MVP title to the Illawarra Hawks’ Will ‘Davo’ Hickey following a Melbourne United loss to the NSW side.

Dellavedova declined to accept the award, saying that it truly belonged to Hickey after “a hell of a series”.

The video went viral, amassing more millions views on social media, and Dellavedova was widely acclaimed for his show of sportsmanship.

The house dates back to the 1890s.

The Dellavedovas’ bayside home features a terrace, pool, spa and outdoor barbecue kitchen

on its 897sq m block.

Inside the circa-1890s, five-bedroom house there’s four living areas, formal lounge and dining rooms, a cellar and an office.

An open-plan kitchen opens to the landscaped garden where there’s a separate studio with its own bathroom next to the pool.

Adjacent to the pool is a studio with a bathroom, plus a terrace.

High ceilings, fireplaces and timber floors add a touch of period-style charm.

The house’s Victorian-era charms such as high ceilings and fireplaces have been retained but mod cons include airconditions and hydronic heating.

It’s also close to the beach, shops, schools and public transport.

Belle Property Sandringham principal director Fran Harkin declined to comment.

In 2022, Dellavedova listed a lakefront, Tudor-style six-bedroom house in Wisconsin with a $US$2.1 million (A$3.1m) price tag.

Expressions of interest in the Sandringham house close at 5pm on June 30.
