AFL great Luke Hodge and his wife, Lauren, have sold their home in Brisbane’s inner east after buying a luxurious trophy home in the suburb next door.
The former premiership-winning Hawthorn captain has paid $4.6m for a huge six-bedroom, five-bathroom stunner on more than 1000 sqm in neighbouring Bulimba — plenty of room for their four children.

They sold their former home at 70 Beatrice St, Hawthorne, for an undisclosed price believed to be circa $2.5m earlier this month.
It was sold by Tony O’Doherty of Belle Property, who declined to comment on the deal.
That property also had six bedrooms, but was on a smaller 576 sqm block.
