BRETT LEE BUYS BOLLYWOOD-STYLE PALACE AT NORTHERN BEACHES SUBURB CLONTARF

The celebrity cricketer is a huge name in Indian film and a self-confessed singing tragic.

He starred in a Bollywood rom-com last year called UnIndian where Brett played the role as an English teacher falling in love with his Indian pupil.

The 39-year-old international cricketer already lives on the northern beaches in a waterfront home in Seaforth. He and his wife, Lana Anderson, love the area and have been looking for something with more lawn for a while.

Now the couple have bought a large tri-level home in the exclusive beachside cul-de-sac of Monash Cres, Clontarf.

The five-bedroom, five-bathroom home has all the attributes of a Bollywood palace. There are vast open rooms, harbourside terraces, impressive luxuriating daybeds and space for the largest of Bollywood dance parties.

Robert Klaric, of The Property Experts International, acted on behalf of the vendors of the home and said the 16-year-old property was a true luxury compound.

“It is extremely private with big views, it gets all the sun and the house was only on the market for a month,” he said.

The elevated house was on the market with Richard Harding of LJ Hooker Lower North Shore, who said earlier that standing at the property felt as if you were hanging off the water.

The Monash Cres home on 1138sqm of land came to market at the beginning of August with a guide of between $5 million and $5.5 million. It is believed it sold within that range.
