A new 25-storey apartment tower proposed for Mercer Street would push Geelong’s western gateway skyline higher, with Morphy Birrell Property Group lodging plans for a project directly beside one of the city’s most significant heritage streetscapes.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia">FK</a>-designed development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/65-67-mercer-street-geelong-vic-3220">65-67 Mercer Street</a> has now been referred to Victoria’s Planning Minister. The site sits opposite the Geelong rail corridor and immediately south of the heritage-listed St Peter and Paul’s Catholic Church and Ashby Hall precinct.

Rather than compete with the neighbouring ecclesiastical buildings, the proposal adopts a sculpted podium intended to reference the materiality and scale of the heritage context. Planning documents note the design draws cues from the “dark stone brick” church and surrounding masonry buildings, while the tower above transitions into a softer, curved form oriented toward Corio Bay and the Geelong waterfront.

The development forms “Stage 5” of Morphy Birrell Property Group’s broader Mercer Street precinct strategy, following the completion of the 21-storey Miramar tower on Cavendish Street and several additional approved redevelopment stages nearby. Planning consultants Ratio said the proposal “represents an exemplary development outcome” aligned with the strategic ambitions for Central Geelong’s continued urban renewal.

The mixed-use project would replace an existing low-rise commercial building and surface parking area on the 3,320 sqm corner site. FK’s urban context report describes the proposal as a residential development comprising apartments, resident amenities, commercial space, and integrated landscaping positioned to maximise bay views and northern sunlight access.

Renders show a deeply articulated tower with curved balconies stepping above a lower masonry podium that frames a landscaped forecourt facing Mercer Street. The design intentionally preserves sightlines toward the adjacent church buildings, with the podium scaled to reinforce the heritage edge before the tower recedes upward.

The planning report highlights the site’s strategic location within 400 metres of key Geelong destinations including Cunningham Pier, the Geelong Station precinct, Deakin University, and the convention centre. Bus services run directly along Mercer Street, while the Corio Bay foreshore sits around 100 metres north of the site.

The proposal arrives amid accelerating redevelopment across central Geelong, where planning policy continues to encourage higher-density housing close to transport infrastructure and the waterfront. Mercer Street in particular has emerged as a focal point for taller apartment development due to its proximity to Geelong Station, the bay, and major civic infrastructure.

Morphy Birrell Property Group targets 25-storey Geelong tower beside landmark church precinct

Development giant&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hamton">Hamton</a> and joint venture partner Hostplus have revealed the next residential stage of their $3 billion Moonee Valley Park masterplan, lodging plans for 512 more apartments within the precinct on surplus racecourse land at 110 Wilson Street, Moonee Ponds.

The proposed development, dubbed&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/trackside-house-110-wilson-street-moonee-ponds-vic-3039">Trackside Gardens</a>&nbsp;in the planning application, follows the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/vic/first-look-exclusive-hamton-and-hostplus-reveal-sixth-stage-of-moonee-valley-park-masterplan">recent unveiling of the sixth-stage Cox Place Precinct</a> and continues the long-running transformation of the Moonee Valley Racecourse into one of Melbourne’s largest urban renewal projects.

Positioned on the north-eastern edge of the racecourse adjacent to CityLink, Trackside Gardens will comprise three residential buildings rising between 61.8 metres and 86.4 metres within a heavily landscaped precinct shaped by Hamton’s Nature Based Cities framework.

The project forms part of the broader Moonee Valley Park redevelopment being delivered by Hamton, Hostplus and the Moonee Valley Racing Club, which is reshaping the 40-hectare racecourse site into a mixed-use neighbourhood with housing, retail, commercial space, hotels, parkland and community infrastructure.

Trackside Gardens sits separately to the recently proposed Cox Place Precinct, a five-building stage comprising around 1,100 residences, two build-to-rent buildings, two build-to-sell towers, retail, office space, and a hotel overlooking the racetrack. Together, the projects continue to accelerate housing delivery across the precinct.

<img alt="First look: Hamton expands Moonee Valley Park masterplan with 512-home Trackside Gardens precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5fc1941e-52d3-41c6-abc4-0f13fe8ae5ea" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/DA%20Edits%20%281%29.png?VersionId=7qwRHq5dcvXWNot2hNOgoQhN2GIWudNK" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dko-architecture">DKO Architecture</a> with landscape architecture by Tract, Trackside Gardens has been conceived as a botanical-style residential precinct prioritising canopy planting, communal green space, and vertical landscaping.

“The architectural vision for the proposed development centres around buildings in a botanical park setting that champions the important role of nature,” the planning submission states.

“The proposal incorporates principles of biophilic design, with landscape and environmentally sustainable development influencing the ultimate design response of the buildings and prioritising the ground plane to ensure a high amenity for both occupants and visitors.”&nbsp;

Trackside Gardens will deliver 512 apartments across the three buildings, alongside 518 basement car spaces and 523 bicycle spaces. Around 20 per cent affordable housing is proposed across the broader North East Precinct, equating to around 158 dwellings.&nbsp;

The affordable housing component will be concentrated within the Wilson East building, while the remaining apartments are expected to be delivered as build-to-sell residences.

Trackside Gardens has been designed around Hamton’s Nature Based Cities initiative, founded by Executive Chair Paul Hameister OAM in partnership with the University of Melbourne, Urbis, Ark Resources and Tract. The initiative promotes integrating higher-density urban development with significant biodiversity, tree canopy and landscape outcomes.

A comprehensive landscape strategy would introduce deep soil planting, vertical greening, communal gardens, and new pedestrian links throughout the site.

Planning documents state the development is targeting a 5 Star Green Star Buildings rating, a 7.5-star average NatHERS rating, and “Exemplary” Nature Based Cities certification.&nbsp;

The proposal joins an expanding pipeline of approved and proposed buildings within Moonee Valley Park, including the recently launched Eveline apartments and the approved Grandstand North and South towers.

Hamton has increasingly focused on precinct-scale, nature-led communities across Melbourne’s middle-ring suburbs, with projects spanning Hawthorn, Kew, and Moonee Ponds.

Hampton unveils Trackside Gardens, latest stage of $3 billion Moonee Valley Park masterplan

The Paul Gedoun-led <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ss-projects">S&amp;S Group</a> has achieved another milestone in its $1 billion transformation of Rainbow Bay on the southern Gold Coast with the completion of the company’s third project in four years, the $160 million <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Esprit</a> residences.

Delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/hutchinson-builders">Hutchinson Builders</a> and designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cottee-parker-architects">Cottee Parker Architects</a>, Esprit buyers have now moved into the 94 apartments across two interconnected buildings at 217-227 Boundary Street.

The successful settlement of Esprit marks another astounding chapter in the S&amp;S story, which launched its highly successful Flow apartments three years ago and created its own ultra-luxury branded fingerprint on an area craving new luxury residences.

Most early purchasers have secured gains of well over $1 million since the project launched in 2021.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172129]

S&amp;S Projects Founding Director Paul Gedoun said the completion of Esprit reflects sustained demand for premium apartments in tightly held coastal locations.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 
“Esprit has attracted buyers seeking a combination of quality design, considered amenity and a location that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate,” said Gedoun.

“We identified some years ago that Rainbow Bay is a unique market where supply of luxury residences is limited, and we see the settlements in Esprit further underpinning this thinking - that for both owner-occupiers and investors.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172174]

A key feature of the development is ‘Club Esprit’, a 1,000sqm residents-only rooftop level combining wellness and recreation, believed to be a first for the Gold Coast, and which is fast becoming a signature of the S&amp;S brand.

Positioned to capture views across Snapper Rocks, Rainbow Bay and the Tweed River, the rooftop includes a 25-metre lap pool, gym, yoga lawn, sauna and steam facilities, ice bath, private dining spaces, outdoor cinema and landscaped areas for residents.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a> Director Jayde Pezet, who led the sales campaign for Esprit and S&amp;S’s Flow and Awaken apartments, said the project’s performance reflects both the strength of the product and the depth of demand for premium apartments on the southern Gold Coast.&nbsp;

“In some cases, we’ve seen values double since launch, which is a clear reflection of how tightly held Rainbow Bay has become and the level of demand for well-executed projects in this market,” said Pezet.&nbsp;

“Buyers recognised early what S&amp;S Projects was delivering here, and that conviction has been rewarded as the project has progressed towards completion.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=214819]

Esprit offers a mix of two- three and four-bedroom apartments and sits within walking distance of the beachfront, cafés and local amenities, reinforcing its appeal as both a lifestyle and investment destination.

The project is the third completed by S&amp;S Projects in Rainbow Bay, following Flow Residences and Awaken Residences, which together have contributed to the suburb’s emergence as one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after coastal pockets. &nbsp;

S&amp;S Projects is continuing its investment in the area with Radia, a $215 million development currently under construction.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172175]

Gedoun said the completion of Esprit signals continued confidence in the southern Gold Coast market.&nbsp;

“We’ve seen strong interest in well-located, high-quality apartments, particularly in areas where future development opportunities are limited."

“That’s been a key factor in the performance of Esprit and the broader Rainbow Bay market”.

Owners move in as Esprit completes at Rainbow Bay

Few developers can boast a portfolio across South East Queensland's luxury markets quite like <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic Property Group</a>.

The builder-developer, founded in 2004 by Managing Director Brook Monahan, has projects in planning, on the market, and under construction, from Burleigh Heads and Broadbeach to Kangaroo Point and South Brisbane.

With a pipeline exceeding $2 billion, Mosaic remains highly selective when it comes to development sites, having spent years refining its strategy around feasibility research and product planning. The group is set to continue growing into 2026 and beyond.

In Brisbane, Mosaic currently has three projects in the market. It is in the final release stage at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-bedford-by-mosaic-16-30-prospect-street-kangaroo-point-qld-4169">The Bedford</a> in Kangaroo Point, which is approaching complete sellout ahead of its late 2027 completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134792 project_image_fid=328123]

Designed in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, The Bedford comprises 128 two- and three-bedroom residences. A selection of ultra-luxury Masterpiece Series Skyhomes, positioned across the top levels, offer expansive floor plans and sweeping views of the river and city.

High-end inclusions, such as natural stone benchtops, bespoke cabinetry, and Miele appliances, feature throughout all apartments, alongside the Rooftop Recreation &amp; Retreat Sky Terrace. This includes a resort-style pool with sun deck and loungers, spa, cold plunge pool, sauna, steam room, private dining room with a full kitchen, residents' lounge, multiple barbeque and relaxation zones, an outdoor viewing deck, and landscaped gardens with water features, all oriented to sweeping city and river views.

A gym with indoor and outdoor zones, and a golf simulator, further enhances recreational choice within the building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134792 project_image_fid=328119]

A defining feature of the development is its integrated mixed-use component, which will deliver Kangaroo Point's first major supermarket, alongside a café and liquor store, bringing long-awaited convenience to the peninsula.

Monahan says The Bedford represents the culmination of a near-decade-long journey, after first identifying the A-grade Prospect Street site in 2016. While they came close to acquiring it at the time, the site was ultimately purchased by Woolworths' development arm, Fabcot. The opportunity resurfaced in 2024 when the site, vacant for nearly three decades, was brought back to market.

Monahan says Mosaic projects often begin years before any formal plans are drawn. Their new South Brisbane development is no exception, with the site first earmarked in 2018.

"We aren't opportunistic," Monahan says. "Every site purchase is carefully considered. As seen with Kangaroo Point and South Brisbane, it can take years to eventuate. There are sites we're looking at now that we may not secure for several years."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141711 project_image_fid=353495]

A similar story unfolded at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-carter-by-mosaic-77-linton-street-kangaroo-point-qld-4169">The Carter</a> in Kangaroo Point, opposite The Gabba. Like The Bedford, it is also approaching sellout of its 125 two- and three-bedroom apartments. The majority of sales are attributed to returning customers and referrals, with a balanced mix of investors and a strong majority of owner-occupiers.

BDA Architecture was again engaged to design the 22-storey building, which will feature a suite of wellness and lifestyle amenities, including a golf simulator and cinema, a commercial-grade gym, and a rooftop recreation level with a pool, steam room, sauna, cold plunge, teppanyaki bar, private dining spaces, and landscaped terraces.

Construction is on track for completion in mid-2027.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151614 project_image_fid=362759]

Mosaic's latest offering is its most ambitious yet, boasting a rare, north-facing riverfront position on Montague Road in South Brisbane.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-riversdale-by-mosaic-south-brisbane-91-montague-road-south-brisbane-qld-4101">The Riversdale by Mosaic</a> is a 39-storey tower comprising just over 200 residences and Masterpiece Series Sky Homes. Designed in partnership with Bureau Proberts, it will feature nearly 3,000 sqm of genuine, internationally benchmarked six-star, hotel-style amenities, including a wellness precinct, pool, gym, massage and treatment rooms, cinema, golf simulator, and extensive outdoor dining areas across a two-level rooftop deck.

Early works are underway, with full construction expected to commence in the second half of 2026, and an anticipated late 2029 completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151614 project_image_fid=362759]

Since 2012 alone, Mosaic has completed more than $2 billion in projects and is set to deliver another $2 billion worth of developments, comprising hundreds of luxury apartments, each defined by Mosaic's signature standards of quality, detail, and delivery.

"We never arrive, there is no finish line," says Monahan. "Our ambition is to keep evolving what luxury means, creating design- and lifestyle-led residences in incredible locations, places people genuinely aspire to and want to live, homes that are loved deeply and endure long beyond their moment."

Bellevue Hill

<html><body>
The long-time Bellevue Hill home of the late Australian film animator Yoram Gross AM is being sold. Mark Goldman at Sotheby's has the May 14 auction listing.
Gross made 16 animated features and a dozen television series, bringing to life characters including Dot and the Kangaroo and Blinky Bill.
The Cranbrook Road property was bought by the Polish-born producer in 1999.
<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/2018/3/28/B%20HILL%202.jpg" alt="">
He paid $2.91 million when buying from then Westpac chief, David Morgan, and wife Ros Kelly through Walter Antonelli and Bart Doff. 
Yoram and his wife, Sandra set up their first film studio in Israel in 1962, and later founded Yoram Gross Film Studios in Paddington after migrating to Australia in 1968.
In 1977 they secured international acclaim with the animated film, Dot and the Kangaroo, only the second animated feature ever made in Australia.
Gross established an unenviable worldwide reputation for the adaptation of children's characters from books to animation.
In 1992 he diversified into making animated series for television, with the popular Blinky Bill.
The studio also did laminated versions of Skippy and Flipper.
He released his autobiography My Animated Life in 2011.
His family lived under the Nazi regime in Poland. According to his studio bio, his family “was on Oskar Schindler’s list, but chose to make their own risky escape, moving hiding places 72 times”.
Surrounded by gardens on its 955 square metre parcel,<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-bellevue+hill-127849354" target="_blank"> the Georgian family home</a> spans two stately levels with lift access.
<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/2018/3/28/B%20HILL%203.jpg" alt="">
It features a timber-panelled home office and grand formal living and dining rooms.
Outside there's a garden studio, heated pool and a garage, converted in to a pool house. 
Sydney Sotheby's agents Mark and Barry Goldman are marketing the home.
Cranbrook Road house sales have ranged between $3.25 million and $28 million over the past five years. Bellevue Hill's median house price sits at $5.45 million according to CoreLogic.
Gross, who passed away in 2015 aged 88, also had property at Wentworth Falls.

The collection of Sydney businessman John Schaeffer will be offered in Sydney on April 29.
The paintings by Frederic Leighton, Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Edward John Poynter cover the walls of his recently acquired Bellevue Hill mansion, Bonnington (above).
 A highlight will be an Edward John Poynter oil painting from 1887 in spectacular neoclassical gilt frame.
Depicting female models in a classical setting, 'A Corner of a Marketplace', is the potential best-seller of the sale at $450,000 to 650,000 (below).
<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/2018/4/18/schaf.jpg" alt="">
A 2 metre marble sculpture of Orpheus by William Wetmore Story that stands in Schaeffer’s front yard is also among the 56 lots that Schaeffer has decided to sell.
He built and re‐built a collection of predominantly high Victoria art over many decades, after a visit to the exhibition The Pre‐Raphaelites at the Tate Gallery in 1984 that represented what he called “a defining and life‐altering moment.”
A sale of his earlier collection was held in London in the early 2004 attracting attention from UK collectors Andrew Lloyd Webber and Isabel Goldsmith.
This month’s offering come with an estimate of $3.3 million to $4.4 million.
John Schaeffer was born in Amsterdam and migrated to Australia in the 1950s, later buying a contract cleaning company that became one of the top companies in Australia.
Last month he sold a Dover Heights house for $9 million.
He told The Australian he has a new obsession involving plans for the Tudor-style Bonnington.
In 2016 he bought a collection of 120 classical sculpture and architectural details from English collector Peter Hone that are yet to be unpacked from a container.
Inspired by Sir John Soane’s Museum in London,Schaeffer wants to build a conservatory in the garden at Bonnington to house his new collection.

Having emerged as the $21,165,000 buyer of Belhaven at Bellevue Hill, ASX boss Dominic Stevens and wife Emma are selling their now redundant $16 million home nearby.
The couple paid $8,715,000 for the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-bellevue+hill-127579638" target="_blank">Kambala Road property</a> in 2005 when it was bought from David and Linda Penn.
Set on 1,500 sqm, the family home has four bedrooms, a study, state of the art media room and a separate self-contained guest pavilion.
The lounge and dining areas open to wisteria draped pergola, sandstone outdoor entertaining terrace and a full-size tennis court. 
A heated swimming pool is surrounded by manicured gardens.
<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/2018/2/13/asx2.jpg" alt="">
Sydney Sotheby's are marketing the property.
Dominic and Emma recently settled on Belhaven, the home of Brambles chief executive Stephen Johns and wife Michele Bender.
They had $27 million hopes for the home that sold through Sydney Sotheby's, hopes which fell well short.
The Victoria Road home, updated by Howard Tanner, costs Johns $4.5 million in 1989. 
It was built for the Sunday Times newspaper owner and showbiz entrepreneur Hugh “Huge Deal” Macintosh. From 1942 to 1948 it was run as the Belhaven Babies Home.
Belhaven has been redundant since Johns paid $16 million for the Darling Point apartment of Silicon Valley software billionaire David Doyle.
The unit in the Burley Katon Halliday designed project was minimalist in design.

Sydney art collector John Schaeffer is set to return to Bellevue Hill.
He is the mystery buyer of the Tudor-style Bonnington, the $20 million plus home of the late businessman Neville Christie that sold through Richardson &amp; Wrench agent Michael Dunn,
The 1930s <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-bellevue+hill-125459770" target="_blank">six bedroom home </a>was designed by acclaimed architect F. Glynn Gilling.
The home of the Christie family for 56 years sits on over 2,200 sqm.
John Schaeffer has resisted his prized 1930s Dover Heights home for February auction through Ric Serrao, of Raine &amp; Horne with hopes of around $10 million.
Schaeffer and his film producer partner Bettina Dalton bought its two years ago for $4.85 million from locksmith Jason and Haley Carr, then had high-end finishes throughout, installed by Thomas Hamel.
The Kippara Road property was the reportedly the Chinese embassy until World War II.

Pricey Bellevue Hill ranks as Australia's dearest rental suburb

<html><body>
Kharkov, a 1914 Bellevue Hill trophy home transformed into an artful 21st century home, has been listed for sale. 
The architectural firm Collins and Turner have juxtaposed the classic with an avant-garde design, which begins from its Beresford Road entry.
A striking cantilevered frameless glass lift is set within an exposed sandstone cliff-wall that leads to the five bedroom home.
Sandstone blocks cut out of the cliff were used to build the soaring semi-circular retaining wall constructed by Mardini Constructions.
<a href="https://www.domain.com.au/bellevue-hill-nsw-2023-2013914332" target="_blank">The 2012-redesigned home</a> features a number of formal living areas. The formal lounge has a gas marble fireplace, amid the interiors restored by designer Donald Campbell.

Retractable glass doors open to stone-paved terraces with sweeping harbour views.
The attic retreats' views seek out Bondi.
An 18 metre lap pool that traverses the entire width of the property comes a cabana which is being marketed as futuristic.
The bronze and black cabana features an outdoor kitchen, shower pod and mirrored periscope skylight. 
Alison Coopes at Agency by Alison Coopes has the listing.

Bellevue Hill trophy home, Kharkov listed for sale

<html><body>
Eastern suburbs property developer Eduard Litver has spent more than $18 million on Sundorne, the Bellevue Hill trophy home sold by the Cranbrook School.
Litver has been based in one of the apartments in the Bondi Pacific, the Campbell Parade project he developed with Rebel Property Group's Allen Linz.
Cranbrook School were set to expand when they paid $15.5 million in 2013 at auction, but the plans never eventuated. It sits on 2,550 sqm across the road from the school.
<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/2017/11/24/Sundorne.jpg" alt="">
Built in the 1920s, the English manor-style residence had been the home of the late arts philanthropist Claire Dan.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-bellevue+hill-126518154" target="_blank">Victoria Road home</a> has six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a swimming pool and tennis court on the parcel.
Ray White Double Bay agent Elliott Placks sold the home in conjunction with LJ Hooker Double Bay agent Bill Malouf.
Litver has plans to renovate the house, or either build a new home, before leaving Bondi.
Litver and Allen developed the old Swiss Grand Hotel at Bondi Beach.
Apart from previously holding the top price record for an apartment in Australia, the likes of Gina Rinehart and NRL star Sam Burgess own in the Bondi development.

Property developer Eduard Litver buys Bellevue Hill trophy Sundorne

<html><body>
Sutton car dealership executive Scott Sutton has sold his luxury Bellevue Hill home.
Sutton, an heir to the Suttons Holden fortune, paid $5.3 million for the home in 2015.
It fetched $7.25 million plus.
The home which began as a 1960s Harry Seidler designed abode has hit the market through Raine &amp; Horne Double Bay daughter-mother sales team, Denise and Gillian Cameron.
The Bennelong Crescent home comes with a modernist refurbishment enhancing the harbour views across to Manly from its three levels.
Seidler started the design, but the client could never agree, so it did not proceed as intended. 
The home with double-brick and concrete slab construction has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a self-contained apartment.
Sutton recently sold a nearby Cranbrook Road building block parcel for $6 million to hedge fund boss Russell Aboud and his wife Lucinda.
He had approved plans for an Xpace Design home with pool on the 845 sqm parcel that cost him $4.2 million in 2014.
