A home formerly owned by Parramatta Eels player Zac Lomax in the Illawarra suburb of Mangerton has sold under the hammer.
The four-bedroom home, which sits on 569 square metres, changed hands for $1.37 million.
It features a large entertaining deck off the main living area, providing views over the escarpment, as well as a family room featuring a fireplace, a renovated bathroom, and an in-ground pool in the backyard.

CoreLogic records show that in 2020, during his tenure at the St George Illawarra Dragons, Lomax bought the Mangerton property for $890,000.
Less than 18 months later, he sold the home for $1.2 million.
The selling agent for the latest transaction, Jordan Andonovski from The Agency Illawarra said there were two registered bidders for the auction.
Bidding kicked off at $1.29 million, with a handful of bids placed.
Mr Andonovski said the Illawarra-based buyer liked the home's "pool, being double-storey, being in a good location and offering good value for money in Mangerton, while also being close to schools and shops".
According to CoreLogic, currently the median sales price of houses in Mangerton is $1.3 million.

Lomax's property portfolio
Lomax has made headlines in recent days, first by breaking the hearts of fans of his former club when his extra time field goal sealed a win against the Dragons last weekend.
It's since been reported that he has suffered a fracture in his foot, with Parramatta confirming the news on Wednesday.
However, the NSW Blues representative has made some deft moves in the property world.
In 2018, the then rookie Lomax bought his first property, spending $650,000 on a two-bedroom apartment in Wollongong.
The first-floor apartment was located in the Stadia complex. It was later listed for rent at $650 per week.
However, CoreLogic records show Lomax sold the property in 2023 for $750,000.
In 2021, Lomax snapped up a new home at Shell Cove, setting a short-lived suburb record in the process.
Lomax bought the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home for $2.2 million.
Features of the home include double glazed windows and doors; polished concrete floors to living areas; in-ground pool with frameless pool fencing; and a home theatre.
The home also features a granny flat-style guest bedroom on the lower floor, with ensuite.
Lomax reportedly bought the property due to its lifestyle and location, including being within walking distance of the marina and Shellharbour Village.
He's also retained ownership of the home since signing with Parramatta.
