And NRL star Ben Hunt, 28, and his nutritionist wife Bridget have finally relocated down to New South Wales from their former home in Queensland’s Brisbane.

The sun-drenched four bedroom home sits on stilts, and is located only a stone throw away from the pristine beaches of the city’s Sutherland Shire. 

The upmarket home is large enough for the family of three, with an open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area. 

The home blends indoor and outdoor living seamlessly, as it features a private back deck off the kitchen and dining area.  

Contemporary: The stunning home is reminiscent of a Queenslander, with double volume ceilings and polished concrete floors giving the abode a light and airy feel 

Room to move: The renovated property features an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge room, showing a clever use of space for the young family

Perfect for guests: Even the home’s bedrooms feature hardwood floors and double volume ceilings

Taking advantage of the coastal locale’s warm weather, the home features the extensive use of louvre windows, which give it a tropical feel.  

The home offers plenty of unique design elements too, with stunning bi-fold doors and double-volume ceilings to create a modern mood throughout.

Hardwood floors are also present within the home, along with polished concrete which adds to the luxe contemporary feel.  

Simple yet chic: The main bathroom features a long double vanity, along with a clever use of white and grey tiles to compliment the modern feel of the rest of the house

Perfect for entertaining: The home features a large deck on a 865sqm parcel of land, with it big enough to install a sparkling swimming pool

The home’s spacious backyard has plenty of grass for the couple’s toddler son Brady to run away, along with their two pooches, Leeroy Brown and Rowdy.  

The property sits on a sizable 865sqm parcel of land, with a potential allotment for a sparkling swimming pool for the young family in the future.

Ben and Bridget are known as a golden couple of NRL.

The couple still own a four bedroom home in Brisbane, which is currently being rented for $670 a week.
