A couple who love the work of Luigi Rosselli have bought a home with DA-approved plans by the star architect for $16.5m, and listed their current Rosselli-designed palace with a $23m guide.
Mystery has surrounded the purchasers of the Arts & Craft home in Wallaroy Rd, Woollahra, since its recent sale prior to auction via Alex Lyons and Hannan Bouskila of Raine and Horne Double Bay, after just three weeks on the market.
The vendors for the six-bedroom home on a 910sqm block with the treasured approved plans were Forbes Chambers barrister and legal academic Stephen Odgers SC and his wife Saraswati Sundrum.
The agents have been tight-lipped about the purchasers, leaving it neighbours to spill the beans that Investors Mutual CEO Damon Hambly and his wife Philippa Haydon had won the keys.
