His first home at Cannon Hill is now listed for sale.

The house is in a popular family friendly area with loads of potential for expansion.

The footy star debuted professionally with the Lions in the 2004 season after being signed as a 17-year-old during the November 2003 national draft. He joined the Gold Coast Suns for the 2011 season after a shock attempt by the Lions to trade him for Brendan Fevola.

Mr Rischitelli ended his professional player days after nine years with the Suns and has lived in Burleigh on the Gold Coast for almost a decade.

His Brisbane house has been up for rent over the past seven years, with prices varying from $585 a week during the pandemic to $675 a week in April this year – putting his gross rental yield around the low to high 6 per cent range.

The property has been rented out for the past seven years.

It has a large back deck among its charms.

The Cannon Hill home, which was built in 1960 according to property records, was listed by agents Piers Crawford and Benjamin Austin of Ray White Holland Park-Camp Hill as a “prime investment opportunity”.

“Spanning two levels, this family-friendly home provides ample space and is perfect for a growing family. It features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and one garage, making it a great fit for a growing family. At the back, a spacious deck is an excellent spot to enjoy refreshing breezes and offers a relaxing retreat.”

Move in ready, rent out or redevelop into something bigger.

The house is just 12 minutes drive to The Gabba and a couple more to the CBD.
