Boxer Kostya Tszyu seeks Carss Park record with mansion auction re-bout
The Carss Park mansion of the champion boxer Kostya Tszyu and his wife, Natasha, is back for auction.
It had been listed with $2.88 million-plus December 14 auction hopes through Sasha Tasic and Greg Tsaprazis at McGrath Estate Agents.
Having been passed in at $3.25 million at its initial July 2012 offering, it was then sold but the buyer didn't proceed to settlement.
The agents hope the Benwerrin Avenue property will set a suburb record.
The six-bedroom, six bathroom residence has been renovated and extended since the couple bought it for $785,000 in 2000.
The 2,400-square-metre property has resort-style facilities including a tennis court and heated saltwater pool.
The highest price paid in Carss Park remains at $2.45 million for a late 2008 of a five-bedroom, seven-bathroom house on a 1,865-square-metre Gnarbo Avenue block.
The Russian-born Tsyzu comes and goes from his homeland.
