The home also features a granny flat-style guest bedroom on the lower floor, with ensuite.
According to CoreLogic, it was sold after 26 days on the market.
Selling agent, Monique Field from Monique Field Property said the "beautiful, high-end" and brand new home was built by local firm GN Williams.
Ms Field said the star centre had bought the property due to its lifestyle and location, including being within walking distance of the marina and Shellharbour Village.
"He just loved the home, and the location more than anything," Ms Field said.
"It's brand new, turn-key... He can walk straight in.
"He was looking at a block of land, and then once he saw this house, he said he wouldn't bother going through the build process when this place was just so nice.
"It's got everything - four bedrooms, three living areas, pool, yard, plenty of parking. It just ticked a lot of boxes."
