Owner Rose Stevens told the publication: ‘We found balls all over the place,’ after moving into the pad, which they purchased from Pat 2007 for $7.75 million.
Pat – who hails from Mount Isa – is married to Lara Feltham, who he shares two children with, Joshua, 15, and India, 12.
Last month, Pat expressed a number of regrets about his dealings with Australian tennis star Bernard Tomic, 24, and conceded that his four-year tenure as Davis Cup captain was largely unenjoyable.

Pat spoke on KIIS FM’s Hughesy & Kate Show in response to Bernard’s television interview, that month.
In it, Bernard labelled the two-time US Open winner as ‘not that much of a nice guy’ and said that he likes to ‘put on a show’.
The pair had worked together on the Australian Davis Cup team, where Bernard was booted by Pat in 2015 in an effort to ‘teach him a lesson.’

While not offering an olive branch to the troubled tennis player, Pat felt he could have handled Bernard better during his time with Tennis Australia (TA) as Davis Cup captain and then head of performance.
‘One of the things I said publicly was that he was pretty disgraceful out there,’ Pat said, recalling the aftermath of a US Open match Bernard played against Andy Roddick in 2012, where he appeared to tank in the third set.
‘Maybe I shouldn’t have said that. Maybe it should have been said between him and me.’
