Footy star Curtis Taylor selling Moonee Ponds home

Ex-Kangaroos’ forward Curtis Taylor is looking to punt his Moonee Ponds home for $1.68m-$1.78m.

Taylor, who made his AFL debut in 2019, took part in 76 games across six seasons with North Melbourne.

In 2025, he officially signed with Collingwood’s VFL side after being delisted by the ‘Roos following a 12-month period in which he sustained both back and calf injuries.

Taylor, 25, said he and his partner Hannah Ilhan were planning to potentially put the money from the abode’s sale towards buying a home together.

Ms Ilhan is the daughter of the late Crazy John’s mobile phone retail empire founder John Ilhan and businesswoman and philanthropist Patricia Ilhan.

Taylor purchased his four-bedroom townhouse at 85 Ardmillan Rd, which has no owners’ corporation, about four years ago.

He bought the low-maintenance pad through Rendina Real Estate director Lou Rendina who is also managing the latest sales campaign.

Taylor said the home’s location close to train stations, schools and Puckle St’s and Aberfeldie’s cafes and shops made it “the perfect home in the perfect spot for my first home”.

The three-level property features an open-plan living and dining area that opens through black-framed stacker doors to a terrace.

In the kitchen there’s Bosch appliances, stone benchtops, an island bench and soft-close cabinetry.

Taylor said one of his favourite rooms was the second living area that he had used as a home theatre to watch films, football finals and State of Origin games.

The abode’s layout with separate living areas and three bathrooms, plus a powder room, was ideal for entertaining, he added.

“I got to host a family Christmas there once, that’s a really good memory with my Dad’s side of the family,’ Taylor said.

“A lot of other memories are having friends over and cooking dinners, that was something that I loved doing for them.”

Frequent visitors included his best mate from the Kangaroos, Cam Zurhaar, and their teammates Jaidyn Stephenson and Charlie Comben.

The home’s other highlights range from polished timber floors to a video intercom, garage and the main bedroom with an ensuite spa bath and north-facing balcony.

Taylor updated the townhouse, painting the interior and exterior, re-staining the balcony’s wall panels and installing artificial turf in the outdoor area.

He said Ardmillan Rd was a welcoming street with friendly neighbours who offered to help mow the nature strip.

Mr Rendina said the home would suit buyers including couples and families with older children.

“The property speaks for itself, it is a well-presented and beautiful home,” he said.

“It’s within walking distance to everything.”

Mr Rendina said with Moonee Valley City Council placing a heritage overlay over parts of Ardmillan Rd, there would not be many more opportunities for homes to be demolished to make way for townhouses in the future – making this address a rare offering.

Expressions of interest close at 3pm on Tuesday.
