Demons star Christian Salem’s Brighton East home could fetch $2.45m

Premiership winning Demons star Christian Salem is looking for a slick disposal after listing his Brighton East home for a multimillion-dollar auction this month.

The Melbourne defender has played 199 games since debuting for the side in 2014, after becoming the number nine draft pick in 2013.

A strong run on the field in 2021 saw Salem selected for the All Australian squad, and culminated with his side winning the AFL Premiership, as well as the 2021 McClelland Trophy — which the Demons cemented again in 2023.

After almost six years in his Brighton East home, he’s now selling up.

The four-bedroom house has been renovated, with updates to the kitchens and bathrooms as well as the installation of a home cinema.

The overhaul also refreshed paints and carpets, and is expected to help deliver a $2.3m-$2.45m result when it goes under the hammer this month.

Kay & Burton Bayside director Matthew Pillios is selling the home in the “heart of Brighton East” where Salem and his family have loved the location and the easy-care block.

“But it’s still got the house size, even though it’s a low-maintenance allotment,” Mr Pillios said.

A cleverly landscaped, north-facing garden provides a paved patio lined with greenery for outdoor enjoyment.

The interior is also a winner for families, according to Mr Pillios.

“It has a really nice flow and a really good floorplan for a young family,” he said.

“From the beautiful kitchen to the two living zones, they have made it really nice.”

The double-storey home has a ground floor guest bedroom, that could suit as a home office if desired, with the rest upstairs — including a sumptuous main suite that showcases multiple walk-in wardrobe spaces and an ensuite.

The open-plan rear living zone has the kitchen at one end, and sliding glass doors at the other.

A formal lounge room is warmed by a fireplace, while the home’s double garage provides direct access to the laundry.

Located an easy walk from Brighton Public Golf Course, it’s located in a street with Dendy Park at one end and the Dendy Street Beach at the other.

Kids can walk to school at nearby St Leonard’s College or Haileybury.

Brighton Grammar, where Salem went to school, as well as Middle Brighton Train Station and the Church St shops and eateries are also conveniently close.

Sales records show Salem bought the home for $1.8m in 2019.

It is set to go under the hammer at 2:30pm, October 25.
