An AFL fan's dream house with views across the iconic Waverley Park grandstand is poised to score a $1m-$1.1m sale.
BigginScott's Ming Xu and Jing Chen star in a Hawks-themed online listing video showcasing the four-bedroom home at 60 Waverley Park Drive, Mulgrave.
The property also has views of an oval at the Waverley Park complex that served as Hawthorn's base from 2006 until recently.

Ahead of the Hawks' move to a new base in Dingley, the club sold Waverley Park back to the AFL in a deal believed to be worth about $20m, in June.
To celebrate the residence's connection to the sporting complex, Mr Xu dons a Hawthorn uniform, runs around the oval and tosses a footy to Ms Chen who is standing on one of the abode's two balconies, in the listing clip.
'I think there are only a few properties around Waverley Park with three levels and oval views,' Mr Xu said.
'Every time Hawthorn do training there are a lot of Hawks fans standing there watching, by owning this property you can sit and watch from your balcony while having coffee.'
The clip is not Mr Xu's first foray into creative marketing.
In February, he had the listing for a house owned by an assistant director's family who know Hollywood actor Liam Neeson.
They recruited the Taken star to voiceover their listing video as a humorous tribute to the hit franchise.
And earlier this month, Mr Xu and colleague Eric Liu donned matador and bull costumes to film a clip for a house that has a Spanish Mission-style facade.
As a keen Hawthorn supporter, Mr Xu already owned the outfit he needed for the latest video.
The Mulgrave house would suit a variety of buyers, he added.
'I think it would be great for a family with one or two kids as there's four bedrooms and multiple living areas, or a couple who enjoy having a healthy and active lifestyle as locals can use the oval when footballers are not training,' he said,
The main kitchen is fitted with stone-topped benches, a 900mm Smeg oven and gas stove, Haier dishwasher and an island breakfast bench.
Sliding doors open onto a balcony, while an indoor entertainers' area includes a second kitchen with a Goldline gas stove and gas log fire.
Upstairs, is a lounge room, study nook and two bedrooms with balcony access, including the main bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and dual vanity ensuite.
Head to the lower level for a terrace and garden with oval views, bathroom and laundry with a walk-in linen press and chute.
Other highlights include a powder room, ducted heating and airconditioning and a double garage with internal access.
The house will be auctioned at midday on August 2.
