Their most recent real estate deal was the sale of a luxury beach house that they\u2019d bought to be closer to their son Cruz\u2019s training program at KDV Tennis Academy on the Gold Coast in Queensland.<\/p>\n
They gave a $200,000 discount on their asking price for the property to sell for $4.9m but still gained close to $600,000 given they\u2019d paid $4.305m for it.<\/p>\n
Coastal agent Ed Cherry who sold the Hewitts the beach house said the celebrity couple had only stayed there three or four times since picking it up.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey bought it because of Bec\u2019s eye for architecture and their son Cruz\u2019s tennis commitments at one stage on the Gold Coast,\u201d Mr Cherry said. \u201cI ran into Lleyton once or twice at Tarte caf\u00e9 in Burleigh and he loved the area\u2019s village feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Palms was the most viewed home in the country when it went to market.<\/p>\n
The Hewitts had already moved on by the time the transaction occurred early this year, having bought their Glenhaven stunner renovated and redesigned by Three Birds Renovations \u2013 a firm run by a trio of friends Erin Cayless, Lana Taylor and Bonnie Hindmarsh who are all wives of former Parramatta Eels stars \u2013 Nathan Cayless, Jason Taylor and Nathan Hindmarsh.<\/p>\n
During the redesign Mrs Hindmarsh said \u201cthis house will really be me. It\u2019ll be exactly how I want to live and how I want my family to live for the next 10 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hewitts reportedly paid $10.3m for the sprawling home in 2021 which was redesigned resort-style with six bedrooms and loads of room for the growing family.<\/p>\n
It may have even been a cash deal, given the Hewitts had that same year sold their stunning Toorak home in Melbourne for $15.2m, a figure which no doubt paved the way well for their current homes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Toorak home was sold by the Hewitts for a whopping $15.2m in 2021.<\/p>\n
He has owned other property too including Palm Beach in Sydney, and grew up in West Lakes in a home with a tennis court that his parents have since put up for sale.<\/p>\n
During the hall of fame ceremony, Mr Hewitt paid tribute to his \u201cbeautiful kids\u201d as well \u2013 Mia, Cruz and Ava \u2013 for making it all \u201cincredibly special\u201d. <\/p>\n
The Australian Davis Cup captain, who played his last singles match in the Australian Open in 2016, is currently partnering with his teenage son Cruz in the New South Wales open.<\/p>\n
