Olympian turned Fox Sports presenter Matt Shirvington buys back into Mosman

Former Olympic sprinter turned Fox Sports presenter Matt Shirvington and author wife Jessica have bought back in to the Mosman market, nearly a year after selling their former lower north shore home.

They've paid around $7.5 million for another Federation-era mansion, this one much bigger, coming with seven bedrooms, a tennis court and a swimming pool with spa.

There's also a self-contained studio above the garage. 

The Raglan Street home last traded for $322,000 in 1980 when it was bought by former WorleyParsons executive Emil Finn and wife Genevieve. 

The Shirvington's sold their former updated 1897 home (pictured main) for $4.15 million last August, scoring the pre-auction sale through McGrath's Michael Coombs.

It was the third time the couple tried to sell the home.

They had paid $2.5 million in 2008.

Fellow Fox Sports presenters have also been busy in the property market.

Louise Ransome and her partner Richard Bayliss bought a Federation home in Kensington this weekend.

Late last year Braith Anasta too was busy assembling the family homes with a couple of properties in Coogee. One for himself and one for his mum.
