The Point Frederick apartment rented by the world’s fastest man Usain Bolt while trialling to become a footballer on the Central Coast has hit the market.
Bolt rented the luxury apartment, less than three kilometres from the Mariners’ stadium, last year at around $1,800 a week.
To live like the champion will cost the buyer around $2.5 million or so.
The sprawling 1,090 square metre private rooftop apartment crowns the whole of the Araluan Apartments building.
He could see his home ground from the elevated rooftop penthouse, which was developed by the Klumper group.
The resort-style apartment last traded for a suburb record $1.9 million in 2017.
It features a number of open plan living zones which flow to multiple outdoor entertaining areas, lawns, gardens and courtyards. One on the outdoor areas has its own spa.
There are five bedrooms in total, including a grand master retreat with walk in robe and ensuite and a separate self-contained one bedroom guest suite, set on an elevated level with its own bathroom, kitchenette and living and dining area. 
LJ Hooker Terrigal agents Tim Andrews and Tara Heley are <a href="https://20-43masonspde-pointfrederick-nsw.ljhooker.com.au/" target="_blank">marketing the apartment</a> with a $2.5 million to $2.7 million guide.
The Point Frederick penthouse, dubbed The Sky House, was Bolt’s rental home for a couple of months.
Bolt first graced the Central Coast Stadium field with 15 minutes to go in a 6-1 victory over Central Coast Select.
His first goals for the club came over a month later, where he scored a brace in a 4-0 win against Macarthur South West United, who will be introduced into the A-League next year.
Bolt celebrated his goals with his iconic lightning bolt pose.
A professional contract failed to materialise, with the Jamaican believed to have not been willing to accept the $150,000 salary offered.
Following his retirement in 2017, the 32 year old former sprinter, one of the world’s most decorated athletes with eight Olympic gold medals to his name, took his legs to soccer.
After a handful of trials and training sessions in Europe, Bolt headed Down Under and was training with the Mariners in the hopes of earning a professional contract. 
Bolt, who is the face of Optus, has been spending more time recently in the US and South Africa.

My Kitchen Rules host, celebrity chef and author Peter Evans and his wife, the former glamour-model turned nutritionist Nicola Robinson, have finally upgraded in Malabar.
The couple are selling their now unneeded previous home (above and below).
It was back in 2014 when they bought a 1960s knockdown home with the intention of creating their family residence. The couple paid $1.27 million and have since built on the 580 sqm parcel at a cost of around $1 million.
The two-level, Metricon-designed home, which they moved into late last year, features a roof terrace. They’ve also got a dedicated ping pong room — Evans says the whole family are dedicated ping pong players.
It sits in exotic gardens that feature aloe trees, Mexican lilies and a climbing fig tree.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/2/4/Evans2.jpg" alt="">
They have also installed a magnesium swimming pool, beside the enclosed trampoline for Evans’ daughters, Indii and Chilli. And their dog, Shikoba, is a fan of the pool, judging by their Instagram posts.
Evans and the family spent time over the summer break at their farm in Pottsville, in northern NSW between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. They recently added an outdoor ice bath to the farm.
Evans has been in the spotlight in recent weeks, as MKR celebrates its 10th season. He has also created headlines when he recently reiterated his 2016 suggestion there was no need to wear sunscreen.
The controversial health food couple have now listed their redundant five-bedroom home which is just a few streets back from the beach.
NG Farah Little Bay agents Peter Goulding and Nick Ujvary have the old family home going to auction on February 23. Buyers have been told similar homes are fetching prices between $2.5 million and $3 million.
The 2008 modern home on 330 sqm comes fitted with a designer commercial kitchen which opens on to a ground level wraparound ­courtyard.
Evans and Robinson have ­enhanced the size of the courtyard, which now features a swimming pool along with more entertaining space complete with barbecue and fireplace.

The upper level terrace, off the curved media room and master bedroom, has ocean views.
The couple, who wed in a secret ceremony in late 2016 on their farm, paid $1.44 million for the now redundant home in 2013.

Archerfield Farm, the Hawkesbury River enterprise of entrepreneur CM Murphy, renowned for taking INXS from a Sydney pub band to the international stage, has an official $5 million asking price.
The marketing is now being conducted by the family.
Murphy bought the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-other-nsw-richmond+lowlands-7950970" target="_blank">Richmond Lowlands farm</a>, which dates to the 1820s, about 13 years ago. It is currently set up under Murphy's guidance as a polo horse breeding venture.

He recently acquired Joe Curran's broodmares including the stallion, Hermitage, adding to Chris’s branded bloodlines.
Some of Murphy's current crop are playing under Australia’s best polo players.
Set over 16 hectares, the Edwards Road property comes with a charming four-bedroom, 1930s three-bedroom home with wraparound balcony.
There’s also a four-bedroom Queenslander, plus horse barn with six stables and 12 fenced horse paddocks.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/11/27/Arch3.jpg">
The grounds, with a 9 metre saltwater pool and cabana, come with a citrus orchard, fruit trees and an established rose garden.
Murphy, who grew up in Shellhabour, ran his late father’s theatrical booking agency with his mother in Wollongong before shifting his focus to rock music acts which included AC/DC, Marcia Hines, Cold Chisel, Skyhooks, Old 55 and The Angels.
Murphy, who first managed INXS from 1979 to 1995 and then returned in 2009, will retain his Ballina stud holding, Sugar Beach Station.

Acclaimed chef Greg Doyle and wife Jenny have listed their longtime hillside Palm Beach home, but only with the intention of moving closer to the beach.
The couple have owned <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-palm+beach-122077854" target="_blank">the Norma Road home</a> since they paid $500,000 in 1989.
They came to prominence after their 1991 purchase of Pier, Rose Bay's famed waterfront eatery.
The now sold restaurant was once a date restaurant for Kylie Minogue and Michael Hutchence.
The home is available through Debra Zakharoff of McGrath Avalon who suggests a price guide of around $3.8 million.
Set on 818 sqm and surrounded by Simon Oxley landscaped gardens, the home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large entertaining deck.
There is a sandstone framed fireplace, a lower level rumpus room with separate entry and a rear dining area which overlooks the north facing pool.
A Luigi Rosselli extension was added in the late 1990s which included a surfboard shaped island bench in the kitchen.
Zakharoff says there is a fluid indoor/outdoor layout.
Doyle is a keen surfer and plans to stay local, hopefully within walking distance to the Whale Beach.
He has a residential project in Lombok, Bali which is high on his priority list.

The Brunswick cottage made famous for its feature in Beyoncé's music video 'No Angel' is for sale.
The 141 sqm property is due to go to auction on February 27 with a $470,000 to $510,000 price tag.
The pop queen graced the porch of <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-brunswick-121803930" target="_blank">20 Beith Street</a> dressed in a leotard, fur coat and heels in the 2013 music video.
The video was shot during her Australia leg of 'The Mrs Carter Show World Tour' and was the only scene which was shot outside of Houston.
Nelson Alexander agent Luke Sacco highlighted the homes use in the music video in the advert, suggesting the buyer would fall 'crazy in love' with the property.
He also admitted the two bedroom Edwardian house isn't flawless and said it needs to be completely renovated. 
<img src="https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/3157b2b394bda410dbc4c121b9b825ea?width=650" width="406" height="305">
The first open for inspection for the house is scheduled to take place on Saturday afternoon and Luke is hoping the Beyoncé connection will create interest.
The 80 year old owner at the time admitted she didn't know who Beyoncé was and was given $300 to allow permission for her house to be used in the shoot.
The median price range for a house in Brunswick is $787,500, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/property-observer" target="_blank">according to CoreLogic RP Data.</a>
