Imagine a house designed to fit a giant, with lofty ceilings that mimic the owner’s stature. This is not a scene from a fairy tale; it is the real-life Essendon home of Nelson Asofa-Solomona, a towering figure in rugby league. Asofa-Solomona, known for his outstanding achievements in the NRL grand finals with Melbourne in 2017 and 2020, is about to make his next big move as he puts his beloved home up for sale.
The property at 85 Bradshaw St, purchased six years ago, is more than simply a house; it is a testimony to Asofa-Solomona’s accomplishments and a refuge from the rigors of professional sport. With a design that accommodates his 2m frame, the house has high ceilings and big interiors, featuring a huge living and dining room close to a modern kitchen. This place, which is frequently filled with family laughing and the excitement of football games on TV, serves as the heart of the home.
The home doesn’t skimp on luxury, with a study, a sitting room with built-in bookcases ideal for quiet periods, an upper parlor, a rumpus space for more energetic recreation, and three well-appointed bathrooms. The big rear yard provides a lush sanctuary for calm afternoons or spirited events.
