An entity directed by HSN's Rafi Assouline and Rebel Property's Allen Linz has filed plans for an impressive new precinct in Woolloomooloo.

The major mixed-use development would transform a prominent William Street site into a new residential village anchored by affordable housing and a large public park.

The proposal, submitted as a State Significant Development Application, covers 164-172 and 174-194 William Street, a 6,398 sqm site between Forbes Street and Dowling Street on the southern edge of Woolloomooloo.

Designed by fjcstudio in collaboration with Bangawarra, Studio Bright and Tribe Studio Architects, the scheme would deliver 227 apartments across four residential buildings ranging in height up to 18 storeys, alongside retail space, public domain improvements and a new publicly accessible park.

It's another design scheme for Rebel, who took <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-rebel-property-group-takes-woolloomooloo-precinct-to-nsw-government">concept plans to the NSW Gov late last year</a>.

The latest plans will be a mix of 167 build-to-sell apartments and 60 affordable apartments, with the affordable housing component representing 15 per cent of the project's gross floor area. The apartment mix includes 12 one-bedroom, 53 two-bedroom, 89 three-bedroom apartments and 13 penthouses, while the affordable housing component would comprise 42 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3b3d4553-8a8c-4af5-aa8c-519ffb1e28c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.12%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=_Yb6ibN7eDnOtQjCNDK2eviORa4qzgv." />

Rebel Property is seeking to take advantage of the NSW Government's infill affordable housing bonus provisions under the Housing SEPP, which provide additional floor space and height in exchange for the delivery of affordable housing for a minimum of 15 years. The planning pathway allows a 30 per cent increase in floor space ratio and building height where 15 per cent of the development is dedicated to affordable housing.

&nbsp;

At the centre of the development is a 1,356 sqm sunlit public park designed to become a new community gathering space at the gateway to Woolloomooloo. The park would be complemented by a network of pedestrian laneways connecting William Street with the surrounding streets, improving permeability through what is currently a largely impermeable block.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="257af931-a393-4007-8c6d-7219796df58d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.51%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=KAHy94GrhaReFsWTGDKfy39EDJ8gEEv4" />

The design team says the public domain has been heavily influenced by the site's topography and Aboriginal cultural heritage, drawing on the escarpments, gullies and landscape characteristics that historically defined the area before urbanisation. The landscape design has been developed in partnership with First Nations consultancy Bangawarra.

The project would be delivered across four separate buildings. The William Street East and William Street West buildings, designed by fjcstudio, would contain the majority of the apartments. Melbourne-based Studio Bright has designed the Forbes Street building, while Tribe Studio Architects is responsible for the Dowling Street building.

Rebel had secured approval for the concept plans late last year.

First look: HSN, Rebel, advances Woolloomooloo precinct plans

A locally heritage-listed furniture showroom on Water Street is set to become the centrepiece of a new mixed-use residential development as local developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/keylin-group">Keylin</a> seeks approval for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lotus-on-water-street-290-water-street-fortitude-valley-qld-4006">Lotus on Water Street</a>, a 15-storey project on the Fortitude Valley side of Spring Hill.

The proposal spans 290 Water Street and 137-141 Warry Street, combining several properties into a 2,869 sqm site that sits between Fortitude Valley, Spring Hill and the rapidly evolving Victoria Park precinct. Keylin's plans would deliver 132 apartments alongside new retail, hospitality and commercial space, while retaining and repurposing the historic Brunswick Home Furnishers Showroom that fronts Water Street.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/jackson-teece">Jackson Teece</a>, Lotus on Water Street comprises a 12-storey residential tower rising above a three-storey podium and communal rooftop terrace. The development includes 76 apartments classified as multiple dwellings and a further 56 units proposed as short-term accommodation, designed to be flexibly used as either accommodation or permanent residences. The apartment mix comprises six one-bedroom, 54 two-bedroom and 16 three-bedroom homes.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9822bb79-6c49-49c9-95ba-319e8c8d81c3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20front.png?VersionId=ioW8zbN4UVebbLetTFuv92t.HkdgfR5e" />

Residents would have access to an extensive rooftop recreation level spanning more than 1,200 sqm of communal open space. Plans include a pool, gym, sauna, infrared sauna, yoga area, library, private dining room, barbecue facilities and landscaped entertainment spaces, making the rooftop the project's largest shared amenity offering.

At street level, the proposal focuses on the adaptive reuse of the heritage buildings along Water Street, where 518 sqm of retail and commercial space is planned across shop, office and food and drink outlet uses. A permeable residential lobby would be positioned between the retained heritage buildings, creating a pedestrian connection between the historic streetscape and the new tower behind.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="269cf3e0-7d13-48bf-a318-05a00deb5c10" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20podium.png?VersionId=DLXmTCLsp6GOcLpQ0h.0z7wKCw59EhN_" />

The heritage retention strategy is central to the scheme. The development application notes that the Brunswick Home Furnishers Showroom and adjoining heritage buildings will remain, with only non-significant structures on the site earmarked for removal under a previously issued Heritage Exemption Certificate. Levels one and two of the new podium are recessed behind the heritage façades to maintain their prominence within the streetscape.

Jackson Teece has drawn inspiration from the site's manufacturing history when designing the podium. The planning documents state that the façade incorporates perforated metal screening that references the woven and rattan furniture historically produced on the site. Cascading and climbing plants are integrated throughout the podium to soften the building's presentation and screen parking levels behind. The landscape strategy also informs the project's name, Lotus on Water Street, drawing on the historic Spring Hollow waterholes that once ran through Spring Hill and the blue water lilies associated with Meeanjin, Brisbane's traditional name.

The proposal also incorporates the neighbouring property at 141 Warry Street, currently occupied by a healthcare service. The existing building would remain, with nine dedicated parking spaces allocated within the new development to support its ongoing operation. In total, Lotus on Water Street proposes 117 car spaces, including 110 resident spaces and seven visitor bays, alongside 100 bicycle spaces.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="70cf07bc-4fd8-4e70-92dd-be8b21c4e4f0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20site.png?VersionId=txlxrJImM0Sm_vTzHVKh5DDUkyL_CiiA" />

The site sits within the Spring Hill East Precinct of the Spring Hill Neighbourhood Plan and is positioned around 650 metres from both Fortitude Valley Station and Exhibition Station. It is also within walking distance of the King Street precinct, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Herston Quarter and Victoria Park, which is earmarked to become a major venue precinct ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Planning documents describe the location as a key gateway between Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley and highlight the area's increasing importance as new transport infrastructure and Olympic-related investment reshape Brisbane's inner north. The development team argues the project will contribute additional housing supply while activating a section of Water Street that has historically received less investment than other parts of the Valley.

Keylin has become increasingly active across Brisbane and southeast Queensland, assembling sites in strategic inner-city locations. They are currently selling and delivering <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/oria-spring-hill-447-gregory-terrace-spring-hill-qld-4000">Oria Spring Hill</a>, just over 140 apartments due for completion in 2027.

Roseville is poised for a wave of new apartment development following the NSW Government's rezoning of land around Roseville Station under its Transport Oriented Development program.

The new planning controls have unlocked significant development potential within walking distance of the station, with a number of sites expected to be amalgamated and redeveloped in the coming years as developers seek to take advantage of the increased density allowances.

One of the more restrained developments in the precinct, and set among the first to be delivered having commenced well before the recent changes, is Hyecorp's Juliet. The boutique apartment project is already well under construction and remains on track to welcome residents by the end of the year, offering a markedly different proposition to many of the larger-scale developments now likely to emerge across the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278194]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/juliet-roseville-64-pacific-highway-roseville-nsw-2069">Juliet</a> will comprise just&nbsp;34 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments opposite Roseville Station. For Hyecorp, which has delivered projects across Sydney's Lower North Shore for more than three decades, Roseville presented a rare opportunity to address a growing gap in the market.

"<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/roseville-nsw-2069">Roseville</a> has long been one of the North Shore's most tightly held and desirable suburbs, offering a unique combination of village charm, established greenery, excellent transport connections, and proximity to some of Sydney's best schools and lifestyle amenities," Hyecorp said.

"We recognised a growing demand from local homeowners seeking to downsize without leaving the community they have built their lives around. The location presented a rare opportunity to create homes that cater specifically to that buyer profile."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278196]

The six-level development has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a> as a collection of residences that feel more like homes than apartments. The brief centred generous floorplans, abundant natural light, quality finishes, and strong connections to outdoor space.

PBD Architects drew inspiration from Roseville's established garden suburb character, creating a building that sits comfortably within its surroundings rather than dominating them. The architecture incorporates natural materials, soft forms, layered landscaping, expansive balconies, and generous setbacks to strengthen the connection between residents and the suburb's leafy environment.

"The focus was on designing spacious, house-like residences for discerning owner-occupiers and downsizers who wanted to remain on the North Shore without compromising on comfort, privacy, or design," PBD said.&nbsp;

"Every apartment was to feel considered, timeless, and highly functional."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278195]

Inside, residences feature engineered timber flooring, stone kitchen benchtops and splashbacks, integrated Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, ducted air conditioning, and large outdoor entertaining areas designed to take advantage of district and treetop views.

Residents will also have access to a rooftop barbecue and lounge area, alongside practical amenities including parcel lockers, EV charging capability, bicycle storage, a dog wash bay, and a basement car wash facility.

The majority of purchasers so far have been local owner-occupiers from Roseville, Lindfield, Chatswood, Killara, and the broader Upper North Shore, many of whom are transitioning from larger family homes.

"Buyers are looking for spacious, house-like apartments that allow them to downsize without feeling like they are sacrificing comfort or functionality," Hyecorp noted.

"They value large kitchens, generous living areas, ample storage, quality finishes, secure parking, lift access, and low-maintenance living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278204]

Juliet sits directly opposite Roseville Train Station and within walking distance of Roseville Village, while Chatswood's retail and dining precinct is only minutes away. The development is also surrounded by some of Sydney's most established schools, including Roseville College, Ravenswood, Pymble Ladies' College, and Knox Grammar, as well as nearby parklands and golf courses.

Juliet is currently more than 75 per cent sold ahead of its anticipated completion in late 2026.

Sherpa Property Group has unveiled the third instalment of its Flourish series, securing full approval for the two-tower, $500 million Flourish Soleira development in Palm Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-soleira-1150-1154-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Soleira</a> will rise from a prominent site in the commercial heart of Palm Beach, the long-time home of Cash Converters and a range of local retailers.

The project will introduce a new retail and dining precinct at ground level, beneath 286 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370959]

“We’re very committed to not only providing affordable residential offerings that are much needed in Palm Beach, but also delivering a vibrant new commercial heart that complements the extraordinary growth of the southern Gold Coast,” Sherpa Property Group founder Christie Leet said.

The development will sit under Sherpa's Flourish brand, which is aimed at providing a pathway into the beachside suburb for locals, first-home buyers and downsizers. In a move designed to assist first-home buyers entering the market, Sherpa has reserved all one and two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments exclusively for eligible first-home buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370964]

“Our vision through Flourish is to create a vibrant retail and lifestyle focal point within the Palm Beach centre zone, delivering thriving communities underpinned by lifestyle-rich locations,” Leet said.

“So far, Flourish has been an incredible success, and we hope to carry this momentum as we progress the next two Flourish projects in Palm Beach.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=371430]

Located across 1150-1164 Gold Coast Highway and 3 Sixth Avenue, the development will comprise two towers. The northern tower will deliver 154 apartments, while the southern tower will add a further 132 residences, helping address ongoing demand for new apartments in the tightly held coastal suburb.

Flourish Soleira will also feature the most extensive rooftop amenity offering ever delivered in Palm Beach.

The two towers will be connected by a skybridge, with residents gaining access to a rooftop recreation deck featuring a full-width swimming pool, hot and cold plunge pools, wellness spaces, a gymnasium, private dining facilities, massage treatment rooms, barbecue areas, a basketball court, golf simulator, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, sun lounges and extensive landscaping.

LPS Group is expected to start construction later this year.

Sherpa is already well advanced on construction of its debut Flourish project, Flourish Amargo, located just around the corner from Soleira. Meanwhile, Flourish Oasis, positioned opposite Amargo, recently commenced construction and has nearly sold out its collection of 47 apartments.

Are mortgage holders set to get a reprieve from the RBA in 2026?

Big Four bank NAB believes so. They are now expecting the next move from the RBA to be a cut, rather than a hike, which they had pencilled in for August. They are unsure of the timing of the cut however, they note in their latest&nbsp;NAB Economics RBA Watch.

NAB Chief Economist, Dr Sally Auld, said recent data suggests the economy has lost momentum and the outlook for rates has shifted, noting that the broader economic backdrop has changed since earlier in the year.

“The next move in the cash rate is likely to be down, but the timing is uncertain," Dr Auld said.

"In February, growth was above trend, the economy was operating above capacity and there was uncertainty over the restrictiveness of rates. None of these conditions exist today,” she outlined.

Dr Auld said recent data pointed to softer momentum across the economy while acknowledging that at the same time, uncertainty remains a key feature of the outlook.

“Both Q1 GDP data and the NAB business survey suggest momentum in the economy has slowed, meaning that growth has likely peaked for the cycle. That said, we are cognisant there is still considerable uncertainty around the outlook, both with respect to activity and inflation.”

Dr Auld said inflation risks and labour market outcomes would be important to watch.

“On the prices side, we are still forecasting above target core inflation through to mid-2027. Margins will compress and weaker labour market outcomes are a risk.”

She said tighter financial conditions are expected to weigh on housing and activity.

“Tighter financial conditions will be reflected in a slowing in house price growth and housing credit growth. In summary, we have greater conviction that the next move in rates is down, but less conviction on the timing.”

Christian Tana, of the luxury mens apparel brand Parker and Co, and wife Cassandra, are selling their Dalkeith home.
The couple paid $2.3 million for the 1940s built home in 2013 when they were moving from Claremont.
A barbecue alfresco adjoins the salt water, solar heated pool.
Ray White agent Jody Fewster says the backyard was its standout feature. 
Parker and Co has been a Perth fashion destination since its establishment in 1895.

Selling Houses Australia property guru Andrew Winter and wife Caroline have decided to go to auction to sell their redundant Sanctuary Cove home.
And have opted for their third agents to find the elusive buyer.
Its initial since was back in January when asking $3,995,000. The next agents came in April.
Charlon Delos Angeles and Alister Billingsley from Amir Mian Prestige Properties have a September 15 auction date.
Winter renovated the Marine Drive East home after paying $1.9 million in 2017.
The marketing suggests the home was subject to a renovation under the supervision of an architect, interior designer and landscape designers.
Each of the Tuscan-inspired home's five bedrooms open to the swimming pool.
The Winters have are trading in Sanctuary Cove for Mermaid Beach where they've spent $1,525,000 on a single storey, three bedroom renovation project.

Security consultant Craig Harwood and wife Natalie are trying to flip two Toorak properties they bought for $24 million just two years ago.
The couple are now asking between $27 million and $29 million for the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-toorak-131869450" target="_blank">Myvore Court residences</a>.
They occupy a 3,435 square metre combined space which now come with Chris Clout plans to create a mega mansion.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/8/14/2%20Myvore%20Court%202.jpg" alt="">
They paid $16 million for a newly built five bedroom home in Jack Merlo gardens with an infinity pool.
It was the home that sold for $19.1 million to expats in 2017 but they couldn't complete.
The Harwood's had been the underbidders at the 2017 private auction.
He spent a further $8 million for the neighbouring classic 1980s style home next door that has an entertaining whiskey bar opening to the pool, garden and tennis court.
In 2016, Harwood sold his security company Securecorp Australia and associated properties to Shanghai-listed China Security &amp; Fire for a reported $157.5 million.

It has taken a year, but the award-winning television dir­ector Peter Andrikidis, who ­directed the first season of Channel 9 crime-drama hit Underbelly, has secured the sale of Wellpark, his long-time Burwood home.
Shared with his wife Sue, the couple have been based at the home since 1993 when they sold in Balmain.
They paid $470,000 for Wellpark, a solid full-brick ­Edwardian near Burwood Park.
The two-level home with front and rear verandas has six bedrooms, dining and sitting rooms and a swimming pool in the private rear courtyard.
LJ Hooker Burwood agent Joe Murania secured the $2.45 million sale.
It had marketed the home as “built to a standard of excellence rarely seen today’’.
The stately residence is on the high side of one of Burwood’s most sought after streets.
Andrikidis has nine AFI Awards including best ­direction for Underbelly season 1.
One of his first works was The Flying Doctors, before he moved on to the ABC’s medical drama series G.P., which earned his first AFI Award.
There was also the police drama series Wildside, and more recently the ABC legal drama Janet King and the medical drama Pulse.

Masterchef semi-finalist Karlie Verkerk and her partner Adam Frazer are again attempting to sell their Paddington apartment.
They listed the art deco unit last year with a guide of $775,000 before pulling it midway through its marketing campaign.
Now it’s relisted through Ray White Double Bay agents Nic Krasnostein and Talia Levy with a guide of $750,000 for September 7 auction. But there was a recent revision to $700,000.
The one-bedroom apartment on the third level of a 1950s-built Gosbell Street block has been modernised with white floorboards and a new kitchen.
Verkerk and Frazer paid $670,000 in 2015. Verkerk made it to the semi-finals on the ninth series of MasterChef in 2017, coming third behind Ben Ungermann and eventual winner Diana Chan, with whom Verkerk has filmed a secret, upcoming project.
Verkerk still cooks and recently worked on a campaign with ILVE.

The young Melbourne-based entrepreneur Nick Bell and wife Fei are selling their Sunshine Coast holiday home he bought around two years ago.

Bell, who has a net worth of over $100 million having founded a number of start-ups, spent $7.6 million on the 2014-built home in the gated Beaches estate on Sunrise Beach.

He's only had the keys for 18 months but is now seeking $9.95 million after modernising the interiors.

The state of the art oceanfront terrace over two levels comes with a garden courtyard with resort-style pool with a 25 metre lap lane and a water slide.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26730]

It has four bedrooms, a home office, a Swedish sauna and a five car garage, which has been described as feeling more like a showroom.

Tom Offermann Real Estate selling agent Milan Markanovic, who sold Bell the home, is marketing it again.

Bell told the Weekend Australian the appeal was its beachfront access.

"It's quite rare, as is land and a house of that size. It was great for the family and one of the best beachfront blocks around," Bell said.

"Plus it had a waterslide - that sold me straight away. I'm a massive kid really... it wasn't for the kids at all, it was for me."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22057]

Nick and Fei have been based overseas in recent months, managing the expansion of their latest tech ventures in to Asia and South America.

They've only been to Sunrise Beach twice since January.

Bell founded WME, his first digital agency, with $400 in 2008 from his bedroom.

He sold it for $39 million in 2017, billed as one of the largest digital marketing agencies in the country.

The Darlinghurst investment property of former NRL star Jarryd Hayne has had its asking price trimmed a tad.

Initially offered with a $2.35 million asking price in July, the property is now listed with a reduced guidance, down $75,000 to $2.275 million.

There is still plenty of profit there for the two-time Dally M Medal winner who paid $1,585,000 for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom 1890s property six years ago when the median house price in Darlinghurst was $1.05 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6798]

The current median for three-bedroom Darlinghurst terraces sits at $2 million, according to realestate.com.au, which tallied 53 house sales last year at an overall $1.8 million median. It has always been a rental property.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/8/30/hayne%201%201.jpg">

Our Estates agents Adam Regan and Ellen Trojkovic are marketing the three-level terrace as “a chic inner-city haven”. The property has rear-lane access for a car.

The property is the priciest property in a once-imposing portfolio for Hayne that totalled around $5 million at its 2013 peak.

Hayne is currently in Perth, living and training with an evangelical Christian ministry organisation, Youth With A Mission, on a six-month course.

The Bondi Beach investment apartment of former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke ­has been listed for sale with $8 million hopes.
There were suggestions “Pup” Clarke was preparing to list the Cadigal apartment earlier this year, after he was seen welcoming LJ Hooker ­father-son agent duo Bill and David Malouf into the Campbell Parade complex.
Clarke, currently commentating on the Ashes in ­England, bought the 200 square metre, three-bedroom apartment for $6 million in 2009 from his mate and accountant Anthony Bell, which would mean an $8 million price would reflect a sub-3% annual price growth over the decade.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/8/30/clarke%201%201.jpg" alt="">
Bell had paid $3.2 million in 2005 on the building’s completion.
After briefly living there with then-fiancee Lara Bingle, the apartment became an investment in 2011. The couple had separated in early 2010.
Clarke, who now lives in an $8.5 million Vaucluse home with interior designer wife Kyly and their two children, saw his rental return deteriorate over the past eight years.
CoreLogic’s tracking of the asking rental price showed it had been offered at $3750 a week earlier this year.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/8/30/clarke%202%201.jpg" alt="">
It was at $5000 last year. Its initial asking rent was $2800 a week in 2011.
Given the influx of new prestige rental offerings, Bondi Beach rents are down by around 5% with Realestate.com.au executive manager of rent Kul Singh recently noting changes in rent reflected shifts in supply and ­demand.
In 2017 Clarke offloaded Roundhill, the family’s little used Southern Highlands retreat in Berrima for $4.75 million.
It came with its own cricket oval. He retains a townhouse at the Trinity Point project on Lake Macquarie.

Bloodstock boss James Harron and his wife Alison, having sold last year in Paddington, are now owners in Dural.
The couple have bought Aveley, which was marketed as one of Sydney’s finest equestrian acreages through Christie’s International.
The six-bedroom Hamptons-style home on two hectares came with a $6.5 million asking price but was secured for $5.75 million.
