Sam Burgess sells first Sydney home at Rushcutters Bay

South Sydney Rabbitohs star Sam Burgess has sought to offload his former Rushcutters Bay home, the first property he bought when he arrived on Sydney's shores.

He paid $1,075,000 in 2011 for the apartment when he was just an NRL new-comer. It has been quietly listed at around $1.8 million.

Located in the Advanx building, the two bedroom, two bathroom apartment is complete with a full alfresco dining terrace.

The sale hasn't come as a surprise following his $3.8 million Maroubra mansion purchase in January. 

His newest acquisition where he and wife Phoebe Hooke reside is a four bedroom French provincial inspired home with swimming pool and home theatre.

Burgess retains an investment apartment on Bondi Beach. He paid $2.065 million off the plan apartment in the new Pacific Bondi blockin 2012, with settlement late last year.

Sam listed the Bondi two bedroom garden apartment for sale at $2.95 million, however instead then opted to put  it up for $1,950 a week lease.

His latest property manouvres come as he's been seen spotted driving a new $250,000 red Continental GT Bentley.
