Hawkins paid $345,000 in 2008, a year after she signed her reputed $4m deal with Myer.

The single-level brick and tiled home on 664sq m features a back deck that overlooks a large lawn with a “man shed”. The home backs on to a reserve.

The marketing by First National Lake Macquarie Edgeworth agent Troy Duncan suggests the potential rental return could be $700 a week for an investor.

She’s also built homes with her husband, builder Jake Wall, who heads construction company J Group Projects.
