Vandenberg and his wife, Jasmin, bought the Victorian weatherboard in 2002.

They are moving with their three children to Melbourne’s Bayside region to be closer to family. 

Since purchasing the house 19 years ago, the footy couple have overseen a complete renovation of everything apart from the façade.

The four-bedroom home boasts separate entertaining areas for the kids, multiple studies and a butler’s pantry.

There is also a sitting room with an open fireplace, plus a wine cellar so spacious ‘you could actually have a dinner party down there if you wanted’, according to the real estate agent.

Outside is a large backyard, plus a deck and covered outdoor entertaining area with a wood-fire pizza oven. 

Vandenberg played 145 games for the Hawks between 1998 and 2007, serving as skipper from 2005.
