St Kilda legend Nathan Burke is hoping to handball his picture-perfect Sandringham family home.

The former Saints captain and Hall of Famer played a total of 323 games across his decorated 16-year AFL career, which included winning three best and fairests and being named All-Australian four times.

Burke now coaches the Western Bulldogs’ AFLW team and his daughter, Alice, has followed in his footsteps to play for St Kilda’s women’s side.

The Agency Port Phillip’s Simone Tindall said Burke and his wife Fiona had listed their five-bedroom Victorian with plans to find a smaller property.

“They have three adult children now, so they are just downsizing,” Ms Tindall said.

“It’s an amazing entertainer’s house and the perfect place for a family to enjoy.”

The Burkes have $3.5m-$3.75m price hopes for the period residence with a white picket fence.

CoreLogic records show the family purchased the property for $755,000 in 2002, the year before Burke retired from the AFL.
