Former AFL star Tom Jonas is getting ready to offload his home in Adelaide.
The 34-year-old footy champ has listed the four-bedroom, two-bathroom pad in Norwood with a price guide of $2.3million.
Jonas, who was captain of Port Adelaide before hanging up his boots in 2023, bought the charming sandstone abode with his wife Millie in 2018.
The couple, who have two children under five, now plan to upsize reported The Advertiser on Saturday.
After moving in, the pair spent over six month renovating the heritage home which was built around the 1910s.
Tom told the publication improvements included restoring the classic ‘character’ to the home which had been removed over the decades by previous owners.

With the home set to go under the hammer at auction on February 1, Tom said he and wife Millie will find a larger property for his growing family.
Their plans include installing a trampoline for their children and building a chicken coop.
The couple welcomed their daughter Matilda in 2020 and their son George in 2022.
Tom also shared that their Norwood home was where he proposed to Millie.
Known as a star defender, Tom started his AFL career in 2011 with Port Adelaide and was later named co-captain.
In 2020 he captained the team solo until his retirement at the end of the 2023 season after 215 games.
A law graduate he says he has a number of post-footy career interests currently including a role in professional development with the Port Adelaide Football Club.
He also working with Hey Diddle Wines, a wine label he co-founded with former PA mate Brad Ebert and wine maker Ben Chipman.
Upon announcing his retirement, Jonas was praised by Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley.
‘He embodies everything around Port Adelaide – fearless, tough, aggressive, no prisoners,’ Hinkley said.
‘Tom has made absolutely the most with the talent that he was given.
‘And he’s achieved ultimately more than anyone else I would have seen in my time in football, with the level of talent, just through desperation and honesty.
‘He is the perfect person when it comes to giving your all.’
