The master bathroom, meanwhile, features a luxurious freestanding bathtub.

Design features include high ceilings and a private living room.

The super sized master bedroom houses a tall suite and walk-in closets.

The house was the main residence of Hugh’s family and his wife, Kjiersten Straub-Greenwood, just before they made the move to the Gold Coast.

Standing at a height of 191cm, the Tasmanian-born Hugh first made headlines after moving to the United States in 2011 to build a promising basketball career.

He played college ball with New Mexico until 2015, when he left the United States to return below after enrolling with the Perth Wildcats.

However, in a dramatic move, the talented athlete left the position for a chance to start in the AFL.

He joined Adelaide Football Club and played with the team between 2016 and 2019.

After playing with the Gold Cast Suns between 2020 and 2021, the strong middle fielder finished his career with North Melbourne.

Hugh left the club and hung up his boots at the end of 2024 after signing with the Roos in 2022.

He touched his fans when he started wearing the number one guernsey when playing with North Melbourne in tribute to his late mother who died of breast cancer in 2017.

The passing of his mother inspired Hugh to take on the role of ambassador for Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) in 2018.

In 2015, Hugh hit his first Slam-Dunk in years playing for New Mexico against the University of Nevada (UNLV).

College basketball said it was motivated to score 22 points, believed to be close to a career-best, after seeing trolls make foul-cancer jokes before the game.

“There’s a line and it’s crossed,” Courtside said. ‘I was motivated tonight.’

“I got my first dunk since my freshman year and I attribute that to getting a win tonight because that’s what motivated me.”

Australia’s official basketball association congratulated him on a ‘great game’.

“Australia is right behind you and your family,” Basketball Australia tweeted.

Hugh, who was at the time in his final year in college, had become a key player on the New Mexico Wolves side.

The athlete left home when he was 14 to live at the Australian Institute of Sport.

He played 121 games of first-class football in his career.

Hugh shares two sons, Titus and Tahj, with his wife Kjiersten.
