Ex-Carlton player Adrian De Luca’s Brighton East home sold for about $3m.
Former Carlton football player Adrian De Luca has booted his Brighton East house for about $3m after it hit the market in March.
De Luca played 46 games across three seasons for the AFL team before his retirement in 2006, after which he was appointed head of finance for St Kilda football club and later, general finance manager of the NBL.
Earlier in his career, he also played in the VFL for Port Melbourne alongside his brother and ex-Port Adelaide player Fabian De Luca.

The 1920-built property still retains many period features.
It also boasts a stylish, modern kitchen.

The five-bedroom pad at 7 Agnew St sold in late May for an undisclosed price understood to be just above the top end of its initial $2.75m-$2.925m asking price.
Marshall White Bayside director Matthew Pillios helmed the sale.
“(I’m) very happy for Adrian and Krista,” Mr Pillios said.
“A very strong result in the end and very happy purchasers.”
It comes after the home passed in at its auction in early April on a $2.875m offer that wasn’t quite sweet enough to seal the deal.
De Luca bought the 663sq m property for $1.78m, according to PropTrack records.
Originally built in 1920, the house has since been renovated but still retains period features such as its leadlight entrance door, ornate ceiling roses and original fireplaces.

The property comes with a solar-heated swimming pool.
And a covered, outdoor entertaining area with a built-in barbecue.
At the front, a formal lounge sits across from the spacious main bedroom, complete with a custom walk-in wardrobe and terrazzo-tiled ensuite.
Further in, three additional bedrooms are found alongside a study with a built-in desk, while a glamorous open-plan kitchen, living and dining area opens out to the covered outdoor entertaining deck.
The deck boasts a built-in barbecue and a solar-heated, glass-mosaic tiled swimming pool, surrounded by bamboo trees that line the fences of the private back yard.
Plus, an attic provides extra storage, accessed via a pull-down ladder.
