Melbourne developer Spacious Group has completed Voyage Altona, one of the closest new apartment developments to Altona Beach.

Off the plan purchasers have started moving into the 49-apartment project on Pier Street, with the remaining move-in-ready one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments starting from just over $500,000.

Display apartments have now been fitted out, allowing prospective buyers to inspect the completed residences by appointment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=372638]

The completed apartments feature open-plan living and dining areas which extend onto private balconies and terraces, while full-height glazing maximises natural light throughout the interiors.&nbsp;

Hybrid timber-look flooring, stone benchtops, Miele appliances, porcelain-tiled bathrooms and generous storage feature throughout the building which also features landscaped communal areas, expansive shared terraces, lift access and secure on-grade parking.

Drawing inspiration from its bayside setting, Voyage adopts a restrained palette of warm neutral tones and textured finishes. Many of the apartments take advantage of views across Port Phillip Bay, while the indoor-outdoor living spaces have been designed to make the most of the coastal outlook.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=3286]

Voyage was developed to address what Spacious Group identified as an undersupply of higher-quality apartment product in Altona, with a focus on owner-occupiers looking to remain within the bayside community.

"Voyage responds to very strong local buyer demand for quality, owner-occupier-focused product," says Barry Plant Projects Director Jarrod Farey, who has handled sales since the project's launch.

"The project delivers an elevated lifestyle proposition, with its design and quality of finish far exceeding anything previously produced in the area, as well as its proximity to Pier Street Village and the beach."

The majority of purchasers have been local downsizers and owner-occupiers looking to stay within the Altona community but who previously had limited opportunities to buy a brand-new apartment.

Homecorp has secured approval for a $360 million apartment development at Budds Beach, paving the way for one of the Gold Coast's most amenity-rich residential projects to launch later this year.

Gold Coast City Council has approved Lýon Residences, a 32-level tower that will deliver 178 two and three-bedroom apartments across a prominent corner site at 8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue.

The approval comes as developers continue to invest in premium lifestyle-driven apartment projects on the Gold Coast, where owner occupiers are increasingly prioritising amenity as much as apartment size and location.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/l-on-residences-25-27-oak-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Lýon Residences</a> has been designed around a resort-style wellness offering, headlined by a Moroccan-inspired spa precinct featuring treatment rooms, a Nordic sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, a soaking pool and a residents-only juice bar.

The rooftop will include a heated infinity pool and spa, residents' lounge with private kitchen and bar, gymnasium, yoga and Pilates studio, outdoor entertaining areas and barbecue facilities overlooking the Surfers Paradise skyline.

<img alt="Lyon" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2d3e29af-8793-486e-a684-52cef862241f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-15%20at%204.32.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ayG2zpLf3SS6Zy8XmKDcQods4kVWb0gm" />

Homecorp Founder and CEO Ron Bakir said Budds Beach provided the ideal location for the company's latest luxury apartment project.

"Budds Beach represents one of the most unique and sought-after pockets of the Gold Coast, and Lýon Residences has been designed to reflect that sense of rarity and refinement," Bakir said.

The project arrives as wellness continues to become a defining feature of new residential developments both in Australia and internationally.

The latest Global Wellness Institute figures show wellness real estate remains the fastest-growing segment of the global wellness economy and is forecast to exceed $1.8 trillion by 2030. Australia continues to rank among the world's 15 largest wellness real estate markets, with developers increasingly integrating health, recreation and community facilities into apartment projects.

Queensland is also experiencing strong population growth, with the Gold Coast continuing to outperform many other Australian cities as demand for new housing remains elevated ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Bakir said the project had been designed to respond to that shift in buyer expectations.

"Strong population growth and sustained demand across the Gold Coast continue to highlight the need for well-designed new housing supply. Lýon Residences responds directly to this demand while setting a new benchmark for residential living," he said.

Each apartment has been designed to maximise views across the coastline, the Nerang River and the Gold Coast hinterland.

Located just minutes from Surfers Paradise beach and the Broadwater, the development also offers easy access to the light rail network, Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads.

Early site works are underway, with construction expected to commence later this year.

New apartment developments with uninterrupted, north-facing views over Perth's Swan River are exceptionally rare.

Recognising just how limited those opportunities are, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/edge-visionary-living">Edge Visionary Living</a>, one of Perth's most respected builder-developers, targeted <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/applecross-wa-6153">Applecross</a>, assembling an unrepeatable 6,342 sqm riverfront site on the corner of Moreau Mews and Canning Beach Road to create one of Perth's only new north-facing apartment developments directly overlooking the Swan River.

Today, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/riviere-residences-applecross-59-canning-beach-road-applecross-wa-6153">Rivière Residences</a> offers buyers a unique opportunity to choose between completed residences ready to move into now and off-the-plan homes in the final stage, Rivière West.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=3823]

Across the completed East and Central buildings, residents are already enjoying the development's luxury amenity, while two of the precinct's hospitality venues are now open.

The completed component of the development gives buyers the advantage of experiencing the finished product firsthand, including its uninterrupted river views, while still having the opportunity to secure a residence in the final stage.

"People are wowed by the view and the quality of the apartments,"&nbsp;Edge Visionary Living Sales Executive, Holly McSweeney, says.

"They're looking for the convenience of lock-and-leave living, but they're not looking to downsize on quality."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=3826]

The rarity of the development hasn't been lost on prospective buyers, McSweeney says.

For McSweeney, it all comes back to a location that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate.

"Location, location, location," she says. "We are nestled right on the front of the Swan River. You can never get built out, so wherever you are in Rivière Residences, you've got views of the river forever."

The unique waterfront position has resonated particularly strongly with local downsizers. McSweeney says many buyers are long-time Applecross residents looking to transition from large family homes into a luxury apartment without sacrificing space, quality or the lifestyle they've enjoyed for decades.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N_FowNW0wu8?si=vb25XFq1wZ-iufAW" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

A major focus for Edge in recent years has been resident amenity. Across its apartment portfolio, from beachfront developments in Scarborough to luxury towers in South Perth, the developer has increasingly invested in the spaces beyond the apartment itself.

The strategy has largely been shaped by downsizer demand. Many buyers are moving from large family homes with swimming pools and established gardens. While they're looking to leave the maintenance behind, they don't want to compromise on lifestyle.

At Rivière, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hillam-architects">Hillam Architects</a> designed the resident facilities as an extension of each apartment. A 25-metre heated swimming pool takes advantage of the north-facing river outlook, complemented by a large gym, sauna and steam rooms, private dining spaces, residents' lounges, a cinema, games room, and dedicated wine and whisky rooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=372542]

The waterfront location has also proved to be a major drawcard. Residents are within walking distance of the Raffles Hotel, South of Perth Yacht Club, the Heathcote Cultural Precinct and the cafés, restaurants and boutiques along Ardross Street.

Beyond the location and amenity, McSweeney says many buyers take confidence from Edge's fully integrated development model.

Having delivered apartments across Perth for decades, Edge now designs, develops and constructs its projects in-house, giving the company greater control over quality, delivery and the finished product.

"What I love is when people walk through their apartment for the first time and say, 'This is better than what we imagined,'" McSweeney says. "We hear that all the time."

Completed apartments in the East and Central buildings are now available to inspect by appointment, while Rivière West, the final stage of the precinct, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.

North-facing Swan River views drive demand at Rivière Residences in Applecross

Nearly 60 per cent of apartments at McNab Group's $220 million The Tannery development in Brisbane's West End have sold ahead of the project's public launch, including a suburb-record $2.57 million sale for a two-bedroom apartment.

The early sales campaign has secured buyers for 50 of the project's 87 apartments, highlighting continued demand for larger owner-occupier apartments that combine generous floorplans with premium lifestyle amenities in one of Brisbane's most tightly held inner-city suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374768]

McNab Group Executive Chairman Michael McNab said selling more than half the project before launch reflected changing buyer expectations.

"Selling more than half the project before public sales open tells us buyers are actively seeking apartments that offer something genuinely different," McNab said.

"Today's buyers are looking beyond four walls. They want homes that genuinely enhance the way they live, with spaces that support health, connection and everyday wellbeing."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374767]

A key point of difference for the project is the adaptive reuse of the heritage-listed Dixon's Tannery building, which will become The Retreat, a residents-only wellness precinct rather than being redeveloped into additional apartments.

The Retreat will feature a sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, a commercial-grade gym, Pilates studio, cinema, library, co-working spaces and private dining room. Rooftop amenities will include a swimming pool, landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and dog-friendly spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374760]

Designed by Cottee Parker Architects with interiors by Tom Mark Henry and landscape architecture by Aspect Studios, The Tannery comprises 87 two, three and four-bedroom apartments across 11 levels overlooking the Brisbane River.

Cottee Parker principal Dee Passenger said preserving the original tannery building had been central to the project's design.

"The easy option would have been to maximise the site's development potential with additional apartments. Instead, McNab has chosen to preserve the original tannery as a shared wellness retreat, ensuring this important piece of Brisbane's history remains at the heart of the community."

Passenger said sustainability also played a key role in the design, with materials from the original industrial site salvaged and repurposed throughout the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374761]

Motiv CEO Carly Cottam said buyers had responded strongly to the combination of larger apartments, wellness facilities and the West End lifestyle.

"We are seeing more buyers looking for homes in the sky that provide the space and functionality of a traditional home, while benefiting from the convenience and lifestyle that apartment living brings," Cottam said.

She said purchasers included both owner occupiers and investors, with demand coming from local buyers as well as interstate purchasers.

Coinciding with the public launch, McNab also announced a partnership with Queensland Ballet, whose neighbouring Thomas Dixon Centre shares historical ties with the original Dixon family.

Located on a 4,465 sqm site at 439 Montague Road, The Tannery overlooks the Brisbane River and is around 10 minutes from the CBD.

Construction is underway, with completion expected in the second half of 2027.

Iwan Sunito's vision for a landmark mixed-use precinct in Sydney's Inner West has taken a major step forward, with approval granted for the $1.9 billion Five Dock development first unveiled earlier this year.

The approved scheme by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/one-global-capital">One Global Capital</a> will deliver an 80,500 sqm mixed-use precinct comprising 840 apartments, integrated hotel accommodation, commercial and retail space, alongside publicly accessible open space designed to create a new destination for the growing suburb.

"This is a significant milestone for One Global Capital and for the future of housing delivery in Sydney," Sunito said.

"The Housing Delivery Authority was established to identify major housing projects capable of delivering meaningful supply more efficiently, and we are delighted that Spencer Street has been recognised as one of those projects.”

He said the declaration reflected the rapid progress achieved since acquiring control of the site.

"In less than seven months we have progressed from taking control of the site to securing entry into one of the NSW Government's most important planning pathways. It reflects the experience of our team, the strength of our consultant group led by Urbis, and our long-term commitment to delivering transformational projects that contribute to Sydney's future."

When the project was revealed earlier this year, Sunito described the opportunity as one of the strongest development sites he had worked on.

"I probably hadn't appreciated the uniqueness of the site until more recently when putting together the concept plans," Sunito said.

"The proximity to the water, and the golf course opposite, is unlike any other part of Parramatta Road. We have a unique position and view corridors over the water that makes this one of the best sites I've worked on."

The development has evolved since its initial announcement, with the approved plans increasing the residential component from the originally proposed 750 apartments to 840 homes while retaining the project's focus on creating an integrated neighbourhood rather than a standalone residential development.

The precinct will combine apartments with hotel accommodation, commercial workplaces, retail offerings and public spaces, creating a mixed-use environment intended to serve both residents and the broader Five Dock community. The proposal also continues the collaboration between One Global Capital and internationally recognised architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, whose previous work with Sunito includes Infinity, Arc and Skye North Sydney.

Takada previously said the design was driven by a philosophy of integrating nature into the built environment.

"The concept for this development is born from our design approach to naturalising architecture," Takada said.

"The public realm benefits from biophilic design that integrates generous landscaping, and the development is optimised for natural daylight, airflow and water views to foster wellbeing, sustainability and spaces that foster community interaction."

Sunito has consistently described the project as a "city within a city", with a strong emphasis on creating a destination that extends beyond housing.

"We want to create a development that's not only to be seen, but to be experienced by the whole local community," he said.

The approval comes as Five Dock continues its transformation ahead of the opening of the Sydney Metro West line, with the new Five Dock station set to significantly improve connections between the Inner West, Parramatta and the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

The precinct will also benefit from its proximity to the Parramatta Road corridor, nearby waterfront parklands and established retail and dining offerings that have made Five Dock one of Sydney's most tightly held Inner West suburbs.

Coffee king Dean Merlo has emerged as the $8 million buyer of a New Farm riverfront which sold at auction in September.

Merlo, who runs the family-founded Merlo Coffee, was landbanking the property, having been a neighbour since 2003 when he paid $1,035,000 for a red brick home on 531 sqm.

<img alt="" height="1296" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/oxlade_new_farm_2.jpg" width="2000">

Merlo now owns two of just nine riverfronts on the Oxlade Drive dress circle. His recent purchase of a four bedroom post-war home on 835 sqm takes his total to 1,365 sqm. 

He paid $10,900 per sqm for his recent buy, compared to next door which was more like $1,950 per sqm 17 years ago.

Merlo doesn’t need approval to demolish the xxx home which was swapping hands for the first time in 45 years when the late Peter Bettson, the owner of Brisbane Motor Auctions, got the block in a land swap with a friend.

<img alt="" height="1333" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/oxlade_new_farm_3.jpg" width="2000">

Ray White New Farm agent Matt Lancashire secured the sale.

Dean’s father immigrated to Australia from Italy in 1958, bringing with his Queensland’s first espresso coffee machine to take pride of place in his Milanos restaurant.

Fintech investor Danita Lowes has bought into the Sydney 1920s apartment block The Astor. 

It’s the apartment recently sold by UK-based theatrical couple Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton.

Their little-used bolthole had $12 million hopes through Christie’s International agent Ken Jacobs.

Originally three apartments, the two-storey Macquarie Street abode was once home to entertainer Barry Humphries and then mortgage broker Mark Bouris.

Lower heads Euclid Capital Partners.

She owns at Longueville with husband David Fite.

The Astor is the 12-storey, 1920s company title block that once dominated not only the city skyline but Sydney society when Circular Quay was quaintly industrial and the Harbour Bridge yet to be built.

All of the apartments featured Jarrah timber flooring, high ceilings, large windows along with Queensland maple interiors by the controversial Francis de Groot.

Completed in 1923, the Astor was the idea of entrepreneurs John and Cicely O'Brien.

The building was designed by architects Stuart Mould and Donald Esplin with a rooftop garden and basement restaurant.

Back then there were butlers and maids provided by the house manager.

Despite being the city's oldest apartment complex - and facing serious competition from many nearby new developments – it continues to attract buyers, especially when a modernised Astor apartment comes with parking nearby.

Emerging South Sydney Rabbitoh star and NSW Blues Origin debutant Cameron Murray has become a first home buyer.
The second-rower has opted for the beach, spending $1.25 million on an apartment in Clovelly.
He bought it just after his recent 21st birthday.
The ground-floor unit, which comes with a private courtyard, was sold through Alexander Phillips and David Tyrrell at Phillips Pantzer Donnelley.
Last traded for $1.22 million in 2016, its spans 90 square metres including two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
It is set on the prized north-east corner in a block of four just 100 metres from the beach.
Murray played in the midweek game which saw the NSW Blues defeat the Queensland Maroons 26-20 in the State of Origin decider.
Murray has contributed to South’s season as they seek to get back on track.
Following the 2018 season, where he played 25 times, he signed a new three-year deal.

The former chief executive of Ferrari Australasia, Herbert Appleroth has listed his Rose Bay harbourfront garden apartment.

It goes to auction next February with $13 million hopes, a record for the suburb which has seen fresh records paid during 2020.

Appleroth paid $7.58 million off the plan for the three-bedroom garden apartment in the Bord De L’eau development in 2016.

He settled on the 218sqm unit in mid-2019, about six months before he departed Ferrari. 

The triplex apartment was designed by architects MHN Design Union. 

Appleroth, an heir to the Aeroplane Jelly fortune, then sought a bespoke design from interior designers Jo Lawless and Darren Palmer.

It is fully automated, with American oak floors.

It comes with Bang &amp; Olufsen sound system.

It comes with Vitroesa Italian sliders to its private garden designed by Will Dangar.

<img alt="" height="1469" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/appleroth_rose_bay_2.jpg" width="2000">

There’s also a marble kitchen with a New York-style bar.

It is being marketed as house-like by LJ Hooker Avnu agent Michael Coombs.

Another New South Head Road apartment offering in the nearby a penthouse in the nearby Wintergarden block sold for $11.25 million after it last traded for $7.5 million in 2016.

An inland Rose Bay penthouse apartment recently fetched $7.5 million in an off the plan sale through Ray White agents who secured a record $39,000 per sqm at 1 Carlisle by Fortis. 

Appleroth now manages venture capital fund The Appleroth Future Fund.

His previous abode was on Pyrmont Wharf, which sold for a then-suburb record $13.3 million in 2017.

Appleroth reportedly plans to buy on lower north shore and a second home in Palm Beach.

The former Channel 9 boss David Gyngell and his television presenter wife Leila McKinnon have bought back in the Sydney market.

Their $4.5 million Bellevue Hill purchase came a year after they pocketed $8.4 million from the delayed settlement sale of their Dover Heights home.

The couple spend most of their time these days in the Byron Bay hinterland, ­enjoying family life and attending to a Northern Rivers tourism property empire, focused around the Hotel Brunswick.

The Sydney bolthole was bought by a company directed by the pair, the same company which owns a Bondi investment apartment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7758]

Gyngell and McKinnon are expected to use the luxury apartment in the 1900s residential block Villa Rossmore as their Sydney base.

Marketed as a stunning residence with house-like propositions, the apartment spans 200 sqm with its own manicured private garden.

<img alt="" height="1336" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gyngell_bellevue_hill_2.jpg" width="2000">

The sale is the biggest in Villa Rossmore since mid-2017 when Alceon Group founding partner Morris Symonds spent $5.5 million on his four bedroom duplex-like apartment.

Gyngell, the son of the late legendary Channel 9 boss Bruce Gyngell, had bought the clifftop oceanfront Wentworth Street, Dover Heights home for $1.15  million in 1998 when it was a 1940s cottage.

His sister Briony Fitzgerald and mother Anne helped design the mansion after its $1.5 million 2014 rebuild, which was then ­featured in Belle magazine.

“Every room, including the bathrooms, captures views of the ocean, coast or harbour in the distance. On a clear day you can see from Palm Beach to Wollongong,” the ­magazine reported.

Their off-market buyers in the deal, done a year before its settlement, were Adam and Alex Somerville from North Bondi, who are in the business of retirement villages.

The media couple retain their renovated Bondi Beach investment property.

Businesswoman Katie Page’s Gold Coast boutique beachfront development at Main Beach, M3565 has secured its biggest sale to date.

A NSW buyer has spent $5.75 million on their 315 sqm fifth floor apartment.

The sale is the third in 2020, with two lower-floor apartments selling at $4.4 million and $4.75 million.

Robert Graham, of Ray White Prestige, advised there was just the one remaining apartment available in the complex where the Harvey's retain a bolthole given ongoing Magic Millions commitments.

<img alt="" height="1315" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/m3565_1.jpg" width="2000">

During its marketing Graham suggested M3565 had knocked Jade, previously the Gold Coast’s premier apartment block, from its mantle.

Like everything she turns her mind to, M3565 proved to be a cut above anything else seen on the Gold Coast.

Part of that stems from the fact that Katie Page and her husband, Gerry Harvey, are long time Main Beach devotees, so she knew the likely buyer needs.

There are seven apartments in the boutique Virginia Kerridge-designed building at 3565 Main Beach Parade.

<img alt="" height="1505" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/m3565_2.jpg" width="2000">

The typical whole floor apartments come with four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Excluding the two level penthouse, the apartments were initially priced between $5 million and $7 million.

The remaining sixth floor apartment will be marketed at more than $6 million.

The previously highest sale was $5.5 million for the fourth floor apartment in 2018 which ranked as the highest price paid for a beachfront apartment in the Gold Coast that year.

Page bought the 882 sqm site for $15.5 million in 2007 and when they formally hit the market in 2017, Page announced she was keeping the two level penthouse.

<h2>Developments Nearby</h2>

<h2>White, Main Beach</h2>

Less than 300 metres from the beach and offering a more affordable luxury apartment is White.

The McNab developed, WMK Architecture-designed tower is offering 325 sqm full floor apartments. Each apartment has three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, two living areas and a verandah.

Prices start at $2.2 million for the apartments which all feature a lift to lounge elevators and two side by side car parking spaces.

Set to spend more time in Sydney, the Melbourne architect Rob Mills has sold his award-winning Lorne weekender, Ocean House, for $4.8 million.

It's some way higher than the $3.65 million to $4 million guide offered when it was first listed back in mid-October.

The Trade Winds Avenue property went to private auction after a number of parties showed interest in that range.

Mills bought the 1.3 hectare Trade Winds Avenue property and built the home on a prohibitively steep site, combining the solidity of a cylindrical concrete form with the lightness and transparency of a glass and timber linear space.

“The two personalities of the house work together as one," Mills says.

"The concrete section, which houses the bedrooms is very purposeful, sheltering the house from the storms and deadening sound, in contrast to the connections with nature in the living section". The six bedroom property with rooftop entertaining deck was designed to function as two apartments, with two kitchens and a number of living areas.

It's been a $1,400 a night holiday rental.

“Ocean House is a spectacular property and we have had the pleasure of listing this on Airbnb for so many people to experience. With multiple zones in the home, it is perfect as a coastal escape, private residence or holiday rental. Nature and the land have been vital to the design and experience at Ocean House and I hope these can be enjoyed through the lens of the beautiful architecture on offer," Mills says.

Mills is still seeking a buyer for his luxury Melbourne residence at Armadale.

He has an $8.8 million to $9.4 million guide for the luxury home which Mills bought as a former cardboard factory.

It is now a five bedroom warehouse conversion, each bedroom with their own ensuite. 

There's a lift connecting the three levels, which includes a self-contained two bedroom apartment. There's marble floors, a black and white veined curved Italian marble staircase, one of Mills signature styles, a brass kitchen and a timber-lined 'winter-room' with a fireplace.

“Designing and living in this residence has given me so many fond memories and I am sure its bold architectural statement will endure," Mills says. "It’s exceptionally versatile and offers luxury and comfort for inner-city family living.”

One of South Yarra’s finest homes is set to sell in the next couple of days.

The Italianate Victorian home on Domain Road, set in Paul Bangay gardens, was built by the Henty family. It was once owned by the merino wool operating Falkiner family, of the well known FS Falkiner &amp; Sons, who in the earlier 1900's was ran by the former politician and grazier Franc Falkiner.

The two level home is currently made up of two apartments, both owned by HWL Ebsworth partner Leon Gorr and wife Judith.

They paid $1.6 million for the upstairs unit, bought from the late businessman Peter Smedley and his wife Christine back in 1999, and then the ground level residence cost $5.5 million in 2011.

Abercromby’s agent Jock Langley says the provenance of the property is second to none. “The scale and scope offered to restore and redefine as one of Melbourne’s most prized assets exist due to the current occupants having the foresight to acquire the two huge apartments and now offer as one,” Langley says.

The expressions of interest close December 10, with early suggestions the home could fetch $25 million.
