Boxer Kostya Tszyu’s Carss Park mansion back up for sale

Jonathan ChancellorOctober 7, 2012

The Carss Park mansion of the champion boxer Kostya Tszyu and his wife, Natasha, is back for sale after the intending buyer did not proceed to settlement.

It had been listed with $3 million-plus auction hopes in July and passed in at $3.25 million through Mark Kourouche of First National Real Estate Greenacre.

It's now listed with offers over $2.85 million being sought.

The Benwerrin Avenue property was reportedly sold for $3.5 million a week after passing in at its July auction.

Tszyu's wife, Natasha, told News Ltd the deadline for a deposit to be paid passed last month with little word from the buyer, who was believed to be a friend of her husband's.

The highest price paid in Carss Park was $2.45 million in late 2008 for a five-bedroom, seven-bathroom house on a 1,865-square-metre Gnarbo Avenue block.

The Russian-born Tsyzu has since returned to his homeland to reside after the house was under offer in July.

His six-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence has been renovated and extended since the couple bought it for $785,000 in 2000. He had previously lived at Sans Souci.

The 2,400-square-metre Benwerrin Avenue property has resort-style facilities including a tennis court and heated saltwater pool.
