NRL star Nathan Cleary embarked on a high-end renovation of his Western Sydney home, purchased from his father and coach, Ivan Cleary, for AUD $1.7 million in mid-2023.
The home is a 15-year-old contemporary property situated beside the Nepean River and close to BlueBet Stadium, featuring ample indoor-outdoor living spaces.
The refurbishment, valued at approximately AUD $2 million, embraced a “moody” aesthetic that balances masculine urban sophistication with modern luxury.
Key Features & Design Highlights
Interior Design Direction
Completed by Alicia Xiberras Interiors (AXI), the renovation includes a standout urban masculine bathroom, defined by a contrasting color palette, refined yet unique shapes, and high-end finishes.
The bathroom is designed to feel both contemporary and luxurious, embodying a bold, moody tone.
Other Notable Spaces
The home now features a “chill room”—a TV/recovery area designed for relaxation post-match, reinforcing a laid-back, comfortable vibe.
There’s a seamless flow from the indoor living areas to outdoor entertaining spaces, including balconies and a BBQ area.
Additional amenities featured in the home include a pool and even a putting green, marking a distinct blend of relaxation and recreation.
Home Context & Background
The property spans 892 square meters, acquired via a family-internal transfer.
Ivan Cleary had originally bought the home for AUD $1.175 million in 2013, which Nathan later acquired.
Located in a leafy and relaxed neighborhood, the house leverages floor-to-ceiling windows for natural light and features both casual and formal zones.
For comparative context, the median house price in Penrith is about AUD $840,000, well below Nathan’s home value.
