Dylan Alcott celebrates his new home in Collingwood.
WHEELCHAIR sports champion Dylan Alcott has hit a property winner in Collingwood.
The 26-year-old triple Paralympics gold medallist celebrated a post-auction purchase with double shakas on Instagram, posting a photo outside with the caption “Kick ons at mine!”
Kay & Burton agent Rebecca Edwards would not comment on the sale, but the Herald Sun understands the stylish pad sold a touch above its $1-$1.1 million indicative selling price.
The charming two-bedroom renovated Victorian features an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, updated bathroom and rear deck — perfect for after parties.

It’s not far from vibrant night spots on Smith St, Johnson St and Brunswick St.
Alcott is now a presenter on Triple J radio after returning home from Rio 2016 with gold medals in Men’s Quad Singles and Doubles tennis.
He’s also won the Australian Open three years straight, becoming the first wheelchair player to win the Newcombe Medal, the sport’s highest accolade in Australia, in November.
Previously, he competed in the men’s wheelchair basketball team and won gold in Beijing 2008 and silver at the London 2012 Paralympics.
Alcott is also known for his love of music and crowd-surfing at gigs and music festivals.
At Meredith Music Festival in 2014 he joined legendary Wu-Tang Clan rapper Ghostface Killah on stage to rap a verse of the group’s track ‘Protect Ya Neck.’
