Fox Sports commentator, and the newly-confirmed St George Dragons assistant coach, Michael Ennis and wife Simone have been on the move in the Sutherland Shire.

They’ve paid $3.085m in their relocation to Greenhills Beach, having recently offloaded their Lilli Pilli home for $3.19m.

Their former waterfront bushland home with views over Great Turriell Bay on Port Hacking had been bought in 2021 for $2.95m.

Their newly-built four-bedroom acquisition sits inland within the upmarket Greenhills Beach estate where PropTrack calculate the median sale price sits at a record $3.54m after 18 sales over the past year.

The house comes with multiple living zones, with a feature fireplace separating the formal dining and living zones. There are no views from the two-level home.

Earlier this month Ennis, who has been at the Manly Sea Eagles for the past two years, was confirmed as joining Shane Flanagan’s coaching staff at the Dragons. The appointment connects Ennis back with Flanagan, who was the head coach at the Sharks in 2016 when the duo won the premiership.

“I’m really excited to be joining the Dragons,” Ennis said in a club statement.

“It’s a proud club with a rich history, and I’m grateful to Shane and the organisation for the opportunity to be part of the coaching staff. I really enjoyed working with Shane during my playing days at Cronulla, and I’m looking forward to linking up with him again. He’s a coach I have enormous respect for, and I can’t wait to contribute alongside him here at the Dragons.”

Meanwhile, the Greenhills Beach record was almost challenged last month when an award-winning home on dress circle Shorebird Parade fetched $15m.

The house was designed by Chris Clout Design.

It fell just short of the $15.7m record set last year.

The record holder was Acqua Noir, the bespoke home sold early last year by the Khalil family.
