GWS midfielder Josh Kelly pulled his Coogee house from its auction on the weekend.
The two-storey, three-bedroom house was listed due to “a change of circumstances.”
It was bought for $3.45m in April, but estate agent Alexander Phillips, of Phillips Pantzer Donnelley, struggled this month to find enough buyer interest, despite marketing the Division Street home with a reduced $3.2m guide.

The house was listed due to “a change of circumstances.”
The two-storey house has three bedrooms.
The home has living spaces that open out to decks on both its two levels, one of which is adjoined to a sleek kitchen with a Calacatta marble splashback and a Caesarstone island bench.
Kelly was recruited from the Sandringham Dragons to GWS with pick two in the 2013 draft.
He won the Giants’ rising star award in his first year.
The 25-year-old then had his breakout AFL season in 2017, being selected in the All-Australian side and winning GWS’s best and fairest.

His father, Phil Kelly, played 61 VFL games for North Melbourne in the ‘80s and won two Sandover Medals in the WAFL.
Elsewhere in Coogee, the horse trainer David Hayes and wife Prue pulled their bolthole from Saturday’s scheduled auction too.
The three-bedroom Fernside garden apartment, bought for $2.3m in 2017, was listed through NG Farah agent Theo Karangis after their shift to Hong Kong.
