The property developer Lim Sen Yap and his wife Elizabeth Garbacz have sold Djirang, their restored 1940s Vaucluse trophy home to hotelier Anthony Medich for $12.8 million.

It was listed with $12 million plus expectations through Hamish Robertson at McGrath, who had the three storey Fisher Avenue home in conjunction with Christie's International agent Ken Jacobs.

The former chairman of retail property group Ipoh bought the historic F. Glynn Gilling-designed residence in 1996 for $3.4 million from restaurateur Harry Vardis. 

Ipoh Australia was the developer behind the QVB Building and Capitol Theatre restorations.
