Cash was splashed in Sydney's prestige suburb Bellevue Hill over the weekend, with two properties taking out this week's most expensive sales, according to RP Data.
A five-bedroom Hampton-style home known as Willowbrook in Bellevue Hill is this week’s most expensive sale, selling prior to auction for $12 million.
Located on Kulgoa Road, the circa 1930 classic Georgian home (pictured below) last traded in 2007 for $5.75 million and underwent a transformation in 2009.
Property Observer reported yesterday that the Kulgoa Road vendor was Mark Greig, son of the late cricket commentator Tony Greig, and his wife, Angela Roche.
