Inside the Bartels’ heartbreak home: Former AFL glamour couple Nadia and Jimmy list their St Kilda property for $4million – a year after their bitter split
Nadia and Jimmy Bartel have listed their former marital home in Melbourne’s inner south, almost a year after ending their marriage.
The former AFL glamour couple have listed the five-bedroom property in St Kilda West with a price guide of $3.7million to $4million, reports the Herald Sun.
The Bartels had paid $3.76million for the home back in September 2017, a year after the Geelong Cats star retired from footy.

Nadia and Jimmy, who share custody of sons Aston, four, and Henley, one, spent the last two years of their marriage living at the Mary Street home.
Speaking about the property in 2018, Nadia praised its ‘traditional Victorian feel’.
She added: ‘There are lots of beautiful details that give the house character, such as timber-framed windows, detailed timber fireplaces, intricate leadlight windows, bay windows, and high ceilings with decorative plasterwork.’

The home is being marketed by Marshall White Port Phillip as ‘one of St Kilda West’s most elite properties’.
A year before buying in Melbourne, the Bartels had sold their Geelong home for $2.25million in December 2016.
Jimmy and Nadia announced their separation on August 15 last, but it’s believed they actually split two months prior.
Just days after confirming their break-up, the Brownlow winner, 36, was romantically linked to Melbourne socialite Lauren Mand.
They went public with their romance weeks later.
Fashion designer Nadia has made no secret of her heartache following her marriage breakdown.
Discussing the split for the first time in April, she told Stellar magazine: ‘This is never what I thought would happen. Every day is tough.’
The Henne founder added that her priority was making sure her sons were supported emotionally during the separation.
‘I want my boys to be aware of their feelings. And if they are feeling a certain way, they can show that feeling,’ she said.
‘They are allowed to cry and allowed to come to me and say what’s happening.’
Jimmy has remained tight-lipped on the separation, simply saying it was ‘not great’ during 3AW’s pre-match coverage in August.
‘I am probably not going to provide any commentary on it,’ he said at the time.
‘I know I am in the public eye and people are interested, but it is a private matter and I ask for a bit of respect because obviously Nadia and the boys [are] involved.’
Nadia and Jimmy first met in 2008 while attending the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix. The sportsman proposed four years later in Mexico.
The couple then married in an elaborate wedding on the Bellarine Peninsula in 2014.
