AFL champion Dyson Heppell kicked a big real estate goal on Saturday when his astonishing inner-city Melbourne pad was auctioned off for $3.46 million.

The 30-year-old Essendon captain sold the beautifully renovated three-bedroom, two-bathroom home to the highest bidder after listing it for $3.3-$3.5 million, reports the Herald Sun.

Located in Albert Park, the property is an inspired blend of old world charm and ultra-modern luxury.

Heppell enlisted the help of prestigious architects Adam Kane and sought after builders Nik Spartels and the Hardwick Build Co. in for the spectacular renovation.

Retaining the original Victorian-era iron lace and wooden frontage, the interior of the house is a beautiful open-plan creation.

Highlights include a two-level layout, a gallery foyer that opens to the entrance, and heated concrete floors.

A spacious gourmet kitchen features china and stone countertops, induction cooktop and a hidden butler’s pantry.
