A SIX-bedroom award winning home has set the suburb record for Waverley in Sydney’s east, after selling for $11.7 million.
61 Victoria Street, winner of a Word Architecture Festival award, boasts 498sqm of luxury living on a 473sqm corner block with sculptural architecture by CplusC Architects and landscaping by Secret Gardens, as commissioned by Mark Winder and Emma Cowan.
The four-storey home includes six large bedrooms, including two ensuites, a 25-metre mosaic tiled lap pool in a moat-like design, ocean views, a six-metre breakfast island in the state-of-the-art kitchen, a sunken lounge with fireplace, plus landscaped courtyard.
This in addition to a dedicated entertainer’s level with a gym, a sound proofed-media room and billiards room. As well as triple garaging with internal access.
Alexander Phillips and Kenji Fukushima from PPD Real Estate managed the sale via auction for the home, with the $11.7 million sale price breaking its own record set in November 2022 at $11 million.
The new owner, Michael Nebenzahl, managing director at venue operator Playbill, will take the keys from Pippa Downes former executive at Goldman Sachs and Nicole Evans.
Winder and Cowan, who sold the property in 2022, purchased the home in 2011 for $2.75 before overseeing the redevelopment of the original 1890 residence in 2024.
Sydney’s prime residential market continues to see top figures across the rental market also, recording 13.9% of growth and outpacing of 15 global cities on, according to Knight Frank’s Prime Global Rental Index (PGRI) for Q2 2024.
