Basketballer Andrew Bogut is after a tenant for his Concord home.
Former NBA superstar Andrew Bogut and his wife Jessica have put their stunning Sydney bolthole up for rent after struggling to find a buyer.
The six-bedroom house in the inner west has been on the market since June with a rumoured $3.6 million price guide, but a private treaty campaign is yet to find a buyer.
While still listed for sale, the Concord home is available to rent from this Saturday for an undisclosed price.

Andrew Bogut has been trying to sell the home since announcing he was leaving the Sydney Kings in May.
The couple are looking to sell or rent the home after Bogut announced in May he would not be re-signing with the Sydney Kings.
Nicole Labra of DIB CHIDIAC has been given the job of securing a tenant for the property, while her colleague Dib Chidiac continues to find a buyer. Concord currently has a 4.8 per cent vacancy rate, which is up from 3.7 per cent in February, according to SQM Research.
Bogut, whose stellar 15-year career includes winning the NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors, acquired the property in an off-market deal for $3.5 million in 2018.
