The former Sydney investment banker Alastair Walton is selling the Leichhardt warehouse conversion which was bought in June last year for his four children.
It goes to October 15 auction with $1.8 million hopes.
It was bought for $1.55 million which was $255,000 over its reserve.
The property at 26 Mackenzie Street was the site of a sign-writing business. After the premises were stripped bare, there's been little more than a splash of paint.
The upper mezzanine level has been configured to host two bedrooms separated by a bathroom.
Walton, who was a major fundraiser for the Liberal Party, was appointed our first Consul General to Houston by the Federal Government last October.
More than 50 Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in Texas and the state exports A$2.5 billion worth of goods to Australia. More than 100 Australian companies operate in Texas, including BHP Billiton, Woodside, Santos, WorleyParsons, Macquarie Group, Pryme Oil and Gas, Lend Lease and Brambles.
Walton had most recently been the chairman of BKK Partners, the minnow corporate advisory firm which had Peter Costello briefly as a director, and before that been co-chairman and managing director of Goldman Sachs Australia, taking over from then merchant banker Malcolm Turnbull.

Leichhardt warehouse offering up for auction

Patrick Gallagher and John Daly have sold PJ Gallagher’s in Leichhardt for $14.5 million to the hotelier Peter Walker.
Situated on the corner of Norton Street and Parramatta Road, it was the first venue co-owned by Gallagher and Daly.
It has been sold to raise capital for a larger as yet undecided joint project.
Gallagher and Daly completed a three-year, $2 million renovation on the hotel last year. The hotel also has 28 gaming machines and a 5am trading licence.
John Musca, national director of JLL Hotels &amp; Hospitality handled the sale.
“Much like the recent contested sales of the Royal Exhibition Hotel, Surry Hills ($19m) and the Duke of Gloucester Hotel, Randwick ($16.25m), PJ's is another quality city fringe hotel which deservedly attracted strong interest," Musca told The Shout.
Last month, JLL Hotels &amp; Hospitality also sold the leaseholds in the Liverpool Hotel and Corner Pub for Gallagher Hotels for a combined $12.5 million, so that the group can focus on freeholds.
