New South Wales luxury real estate: Sydney home has a one-of-a-kind court

The buyer of a Sydney property will be able to follow an A-list trend at their own home.

At 12 Hull Road in Beecroft, New South Wales, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom house has a combined basketball and pickleball court in the backyard.

Pickleball is a paddle sport that originated in Washington in the US in 1965 and has had a resurgence in popularity. Celebrity fans include Leonardo DiCaprio, George and Amal Clooney and the late Matthew Perry.

The home sold on November 30 for $5.19 million, as stated on the listing, and is on the books of Belinda Hill and David Woods of McGrath Estate Agents Beecroft.

The pickleball court is located by the outdoor pool at the two-level residence.

A cross between badminton, tennis and ping pong, the sport is played on a badminton-sized court. The game is either played as doubles or singles, and uses a waffle-like ball.

The player on the right starts the game by serving the ball diagonally. The game continues until either team faults and is played to 11 points. Players must win by two points.

The home itself is renovated and displays an attention to detail in the form of luxury fittings. Agents suggest on the listing that the home offers “resort-style living”.

Interiors take on a neutral palette and include blackbutt floors, heated Italian tiles and plush textiles.
