Swans coach John Longmire moves up the street in Malabar
Sydney Swans coach John Longmire will be putting his feet up in a new Malabar home after his Swans sides finals run was cut short by a mauling from local rivals GWS.
Longmire and wife Shelley have not moved far, in fact they've stayed on the same street.
Having sold for $2.75 million (pictured above) in just nine days, the Longmire's secured their next home just 200 metres up the road.
They've paid $3,712,500 for a contemporary 2003 built home.
Spanning three levels, the home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study and a sauna.
The master retreat came with a spa ensuite, walk in wardrobe and dressing room.
The ground level living and dining areas open to the alfresco entertaining space which adjoins a swimming pool.
South Eastern Realty Malabar agent Angela Gladstone sold the home.
The Longmire's former home was bought shortly after he got the top job at the Swans.
They paid $1.7 million in 2011 and extensively renovated the two level, four bedroom home, adding a pool and cabana last year.
They opted against going through with the approval they secured for the home, which would have cost $1.1 million to turn it into a three level, five bedder.
Longmire, who played for NORTH MELBOURNE during his AFL career, won a premiership with the Swans in his second season in charge.
