The Turnbulls’ investment house (designed by architect Michael Suttor and featuring a yellow facade) is rented to mining entrepreneur Chris Kyriakou and his wife, Phoebe, who last week paid almost $8 million for a Woollahra residence that had been on the market for more than 18 months. The lavish, five-storey house was completed in 2004.
Two weeks ago, another home in the street sold for about $9.75 million. The superbly appointed four-bedroom house is owned by stockbroker John Bowie-Wilson and his wife, Sally, who intend to move to an apartment in Double Bay. Incidentally, the amount of NSW stamp duty payable on a $44 million residential sale is a whopping $3,020,490. The Fingers’ neighbours in the Buckhurst Avenue block will include Sue Ingham and mining executive Ian Stolyar. The Tilleys are moving around the corner to a Wunulla Road house bought for about $13.5 million from Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull. The deal was negotiated by agent Brad Pillinger, whose website boasts the $18 million sale is the highest non-waterfront transaction this year. He and his wife Linda, the daughter of Lowe's clothing stores founder Hans Mueller, sold their Bellevue Hill house (which, like Villa Veneto, was designed by celebrated architect Michael Suttor) just over a week ago for $23.5 million.
