The sportsman’s parents have resided in the property since 1994, when Steve was five years old.
A young Steve would have spent plenty of summer days practising his batting and bowling in the backyard of the suburban home.
In 2017, he released an autobiography titled ‘The Journey: My Story, from Backyard Cricket to Australian Captain’.

The Smiths had originally bought the home from a developer for $170,000. It’s believed Steve’s parents now want to downsize.
Peter and Gillian are understood to have built a new house on the NSW South Coast.
They had previously organised an auction in March for their Alfords Point property, but this was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
