Past Carlton team member Stephen Silvagni and wife Jo have listed their Balwyn North home.

Former Carlton fullback Stephen Silvagni and his television personality wife Jo’s Balwyn North mansion is set to smash the suburb’s record house price with a $8m-$8.8m price guide.

The resort-style, six-bedroom pad featuring a pool and tennis court looks likely to overtake the area’s existing $7.6m benchmark, set by a five-bedroom house 9 Chelmsford St in 2022, according to CoreLogic.

Silvagni, ex-Blues’ player Sergio Silvagni’s son, made his Carlton debut at the age of 17 in 1985.

He became known by the nickname “SOS” which stands for “Son of Serge”.

Silvagni’s 312-game career included being a member of Carlton’s 1987 and 1995 Premiership sides.

In the latter grand final he was famously credited with helping to keep Geelong’s Gary Ablett from scoring a goal.

Silvagni won the inaugural Jim Stynes Medal in 1998 and played as an Australian International Rules team goalkeeper multiple times.
