Melbourne’s most powerful streets home to rich listers and celebrities — and their multimillion-dollar mansions — have been unveiled.

Buyers really know they’ve made it when they secure a piece of Toorak’s Albany and St Georges Roads, where properties carry eye-watering price tags of up to $80m.

Billionaire trucking magnate Lindsay Fox owns a sprawling mansion valued at more than $40m on Albany Road, which Abercromby’s director Jock Langley dubbed one of Melbourne’s “finest streets”.

Chadstone Shopping Centre part owner John Gandel’s estate is rumoured to be worth up to $70m on the stretch, where business tycoon Solomon Lew and Australia’s Honorary Consul to Monaco, Andrew Cannon, are also former homeowners.

Andrew Baines & Co director Andrew Baines said only deep-pocketed buyers would be in the running for St Georges Road real estate, where he has listed an unfinished mansion on a huge 7200sq m block worth about $80m, on behalf of developer David Yu.

The exclusive street was previously home to late Prime Minister Harold Holt.

It also contains Melbourne’s second priciest house at No. 18, which fetched $38m in 2017, and a vacant 4000sq m block at No. 16, which was listed for $40m last year.

Property developer Harry Stamoulis also famously spent an estimated $70m building his palace at 39 St Georges Road.

Hawthorn’s Shakespeare Grove is also stacked with elaborate mansions, including the nine-bedroom, seven-kitchen Avon Court that’s on the market asking $40m.

High-profile sport and entertainment manager Ralph Carr sold his spectacular home on the street for $9.6m last year, CoreLogic records show. The wealthy Laidlaw family and Peter Gordon — Western Bulldogs Football Club president and Gordon Legal founder — are other notable residents.

The U-shaped road flows into equally renowned Coppin Grove, where ex-Australia Post chief executive Ahmed Fahour owns Invergowrie, which he bought for $22m in 2013 and attempted to sell for $40-$44m in 2018.

Many mansions along Brighton’s Seacombe Grove offer direct beach access, which may have convinced late Crazy John founder John Ilhan to buy two waterfront blocks worth $20m-plus there. The prime real estate is still owned by his wife, Patricia.

Late 7-Eleven co-founder Beverley Barlow broke the Bayside residential sales record by buying 39 Seacombe Grove from former St Kilda Football Club president Rod Butterss for $22m in 2015. The benchmark still stands.

Nick Johnstone director Nick Johnstone said the strip’s large landholdings rarely came up for sale, as they were often passed down through families.

He said star power from younger high-flyers had flung St Kilda West’s Mary Street into the spotlight.

The stretch is the site of Nadia and Jimmy Bartel’s former family home at No. 44, which they listed last month for $3.7-$4m, and fashion designer Alannah Hill’s “mini Versailles” at No. 16, which she sold for $2.475m in 2017.

The leafy east is epitomised by Canterbury’s Monomeath Avenue, where former opposition leader Andrew Peacock, ex-NAB managing director Frank Cicutto and businessman Anthony Podesta have all lived.

Pop princess Kylie Minogue bought her parents a home there for $2.43m in 2002.

Other historic havens include Fitzroy North’s Edinburgh Gardens-adjacent Alfred Crescent, where Red Symons’ former house achieved a record $5m in 2018, and Albert Park’s St Vincent Place, which encircles a private park.

The inner west’s priciest street, Williamstown’s The Strand, rivalled Brighton’s Golden Mile by offering spectacular city views, Hocking Stuart Yarraville’s Leo Dardha said.

Geelong’s glitzy Western Beach Road is home to one-time mayor Darren Lyons, Cotton On chief executive Peter Johnson, and former Geelong Football Club president and businessman Frank Costa.

Barry Plant Highton director Kieron Hunter said its “irreplaceable” historic properties often sold in the vicinity of $3m.

Ballarat’s lakeside mansions on Wendouree Parade and Webster Street have also attracted high-flying chief executives and hometown hero, marathon champion Steve Monaghetti, according to Biggin & Scott Ballarat director Francesca Nichol.

When Ron Klingler bought his riverfront plot in Broadbeach Waters 19 years ago, home was a modest 1950s unbreakable abode.

It was the kind of house where kids could ride bikes inside and jumping off the roof into the pool was all part of the fun.

“It was all one level, with lots of big rooms, multiple lounge areas, a detached garage and a massive pool,” said Mr Klingler.

“It was great when the boys were young.”

However, in the back of his mind Mr Klingler – the son of an architect – had a bigger vision for the prime main river parcel.

The original house was eventually demolished and the block divided to pave the way for the luxury three-level residence now being offered to market.

“When you compare the old home to this, I am so proud of how it has turned out,” he said.

Two years in the making, Mr Klingler worked closely with builder Ryan Coleman, of Rycol, to bring the Stuart Osman Building Designs plan to fruition.

“The goal was to create something extraordinarily modern,” said Mr Klingler, who operated What’s New novelty gift shop at Pacific Fair for 17 years before setting up Sensational in the Mermaid Waters Q Centre.

A classic monochromatic palette creates a sophisticated feel throughout the home while timber flooring adds warmth in the main living zones.

The overall attention to detail is impressive, with careful consideration given to storage opportunities, subtle lighting and well-placed windows offering glimpses of green at every turn.

Sleek black cabinetry creates drama in the kitchen where a super-size marble island holds centre stage and the butler’s pantry a generous support act.

But the lift ride to the rooftop terrace reveals the true star of this show.

Partially enclosed to cover a built-in barbecue kitchen, the terrace faces north to capture spectacular views of the Glitter Strip’s most recognisable landmarks.

“This is the place for sunset drinks,” said Mr Klingler, who has used the adjoining room as a private studio in which to practice his music. “At night it’s just magic up here.”

When the day is done, the master suite offers a welcome retreat with its own private balcony looking over the pool and main river.

While the river provides a water sports playground, sprawling Albert Park opposite lends itself to more recreation in nature.

“When the kids were here we would be in the park every chance we could,” said Mr Klingler. “The PCYC across the road has tennis courts, a gym and plenty of activities.”

With one new build under his belt, Mr Klingler admits he enjoyed the process and wouldn’t rule out an encore.

“There are always problems along the way, but I would do it all again,” he said.

“It will be wonderful to see a family or a couple enjoying what’s been created.”

Kollosche’s Jay Helprin and Michael Kollosche are taking expressions of interest until August 27.

An Aldgate home offers a peaceful escape from working life just a short walk from the very best the Adelaide Hills has to offer.

Catrina Orr’s mother Betty Melville bought the home in 1981, and has since transformed its surrounds into a tranquil wonderland.

“Mum’s a very artistic lady and loves its privacy and its ability to be a canvas for her to put so much artwork and floristry in there,” Ms Orr says. “She was a florist herself and really loved the arts. She would have a twig fall from a tree in the garden and make an arrangement around it, because she loved its mossiness or whatever. She really loved that garden, and a lot of it she planted herself.”

The home has three bedrooms, a central kitchen and numerous indoor and outdoor entertainment areas. Perfectly liveable and enjoyable as is, it offers scope for further renovation.

“It’s a big family home, but it was only ever lived in by two people,” Ms Orr says. “It would be perfect for a large family, and, having two distinct ends, it would be perfect for an Airbnb, or if you were to renovate it, you could update one half while you live in the other and vice-versa. Both ends are so disconnected from each other.

The original part of the home is an 1800s cottage – the walls are over a foot thick, and then the rest was added around it.”

Ms Orr says the home is a great entertainer and handles a crowd with ease.

“Where the dry stone wall is, just outside the kitchen, we would put trestle tables all the way down like an Italian alfresco lunch and have 20 people around the table,” she says.

With the home now too much for Mrs Melville to look after, the time has come to sell.

“It will be really sad to say goodbye to it because it’s just been so loved by all of us, but what do you do?” Ms Orr says. “She’s lived in it alone and maintained these big beautiful gardens by herself for many years now. I’d like to see a family in it, it really suits a family. The location is great too. I had a couple of girlfriends that wanted to see what it looked like and we parked there, walked down to Aldgate and then walked to Mylor and back and then had something to eat at Fred’s Eatery – it’s such a lovely location.”

WELCOME to the Sunshine State’s power streets.

These are the streets where some of Queensland’s wealthiest CEOs, celebrities and sporting legends own multi-million dollar mansions.

From Olympians and billionaire business owners to property tycoons and former politicians. you know you’ve made it if you own a home in one of these exclusive addresses.

When it comes to power streets, the Gold Coast’s self-proclaimed ‘millionaire’s row’ Hedges Avenue needs no introduction — just deep pockets.

The exclusive beachfront strip at Mermaid Beach is home to the likes of Clive Palmer, who paid $12 million for a five-bedroom mansion at 9 Hedges Ave in 2018 and Harvey Norman executive Steve Cavalier, who bought 213 Hedges Ave for a whopping $19 million in 2006.

More recently, oil mogul Peter Mitchell sold an 810 sqm double block at 67 & 69 Hedges Ave to Village Roadshow CEO Clark Kirby and his former television presenter wife, Sara, for $10.3 million.

Other high profile residents include Gold Coast businessman Jack Ray and his TV personality wife, Natalie Gruzlewski; former Tourism Queensland chairman Terry Jackman; and members of the Tristram family who founded the Tristram’s soft-drinks business.

Mermaid Beach has a median house price of $1.585 million and is one of the most in-demand suburbs among potential home buyers, according to Realestate.com.au.

Cohen Handler Queensland managing director and buyer’s agent Jordan Navybox said his clients wanted to live as close as possible to the “hotspot” of Mermaid Beach.

“Everyone wants to be in Hedges Ave — even if they can’t get into it,” Mr Navybox said.

The equivalent power street on the Sunshine Coast would have to be Seaview Terrace in sought-after Sunshine Beach.

A high-profile couple paid $17 million for a mediterranean style mansion in May this year, while breakfast TV host Karl Stefanovic and his wife, Jasmine, bought in the street for $3.6 million in January.

Television and film producer Jude Bailey and Russian hemp trader Evgeny Skigin also own homes in Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach, which has a median house price of $1.54 million.

Adrian Reed, director of Reed & Co Estate Agents, said it was no surprise that buyers loved Sunshine Beach — especially Seaview Terrace.

“The elevation from the beach offers privacy and a sense of seclusion, and one of the most spectacular beach and coral sea views on the eastern seaboard,” Mr Reed said.

In Brisbane, Aaron Avenue in Hawthorne is a magnet for the well-heeled, with mining magnate Gina Rinehart the owner of $18.5 million worth of house and land.

Finance wizard Noel Whittaker also holds prime real estate in the street adn Goodlife Health Clubs co-founder Leon McNiece did until recently.

Properties are also owned by a property developer, a lawyer and business identities.

Also on the river, King Arthur Terrace in Tennyson made headlines late last year when Brisbane Broncos CEO Karl Morris sold his property in the street to Canstuct International CEO Rory Murphy for $17.6 million.

The street is also home to the son of Super Amart founder John Van Lieshout.

Place Estate Agents managing director Sarah Hackett is marketing a 10 bedroom, eight-bathroom Great Gatsby-style mansion at 121 King Arthur Tce owned by Mark Brodie, the former owner of Queensland takeaway-chicken chain, Brodie’s.

Mrs Hackett said she had recently received an offer of more than $10 million for the luxurious riverfront estate, which had attracted interest from a number of successful “under-the-radar” business owners.

“(King Arthur Tce) is a north facing street, it’s elevated and looks over the golf course,” Mrs Hackett said.

“You could be anywhere in Queensland with that view, it’s just magical.

“People do pick streets just because usually they’re attracted to the similar type of homes there and the feel of it.

“Quality neighbours are important too. With so many high-end sales in a street, you’re not going to overcapitalise if you invest there.”

Sutherland Ave in the affluent suburb of Ascot has always been regarded as one of Brisbane’s most prestigious addresses.

With only 16 houses in the street, property records show some of the homes have been held by the same owners for more than 40 years.

High profile residents include renowned fashion designer Keri Craig, Sentinel Property Group managing director Andrew Beaumont and Swissport vice president Glenn Rutherford who bought the former home of Domino’s Pizza boss Don Meij.

The record sale price for the suburb was broken earlier this year when ‘Windermere’ at 14 Sutherland Avenue fetched $13.14 million.

Down the road in blue-chip Hamilton, Dickson Terrace is the ultimate address.

The street is famous for the extravagant mansion built by disgraced businessman Christopher Skase, which was bought by hotelier Steven Shoobridge for $10.13 million in 2018.

The owners of uniform manufacturer, Weareco, fourth generation jeweller Margot McKinney and property developer, Anthony Barakat, also own mansions in the street.

In the same suburb, Harbour Road is home to fitness empire queen Lorna Jane Clarkson.

An eight-bedroom, nine-bathroom masterpiece built for developer Don O’Rorke of Consolidated Properties at 33B Harbour Road is for sale.

The statement residence, which is called Balaam, sits on a 1609 sqm block with 48m of river frontage and is for sale for offers over $6 million with Ray White New Farm principal Matt Lancashire.

Mr Lancashire is also marketing a home in the tightly-held Oxlade Drive in New Farm, which he regards as a definite ‘power street’, occupied by CEOs and old money families.

The property for sale at 36A Oxlade Drive is one of just nine riverfront homes on the strip, with direct access to the boardwalk.

“The last house that sold along there was in 2013,” Mr Lancashire said.

“It’s very prestigious… with generally larger blocks with direct river frontage and pontoons. It’s just unbelievable territory.

“As soon as something comes up there, it is the talk of the town because it just doesn’t happen.

“The prices along that strip could challenge Brisbane’s (house price) record.”

Property records show the cheapest residential sale along Oxlade Drive was $5.6 million.

Mr Lancashire said Teneriffe Drive in the neighbouring suburb of Teneriffe was also streets ahead of the competition.

“It has some of Brisbane’s most exclusive homes, with city views, and only 1km from the CBD,” he said.

Mr Lancashire said demand for prestige property in Brisbane was stronger than ever, despite the impact of COVID-19.

“The wealth at the moment is outrageous,” he said.

“I’ve got seven active buyers looking to spend over $10 million. I’m talking to them every couple of days.

“The stock in the top end of town is really tight.

“I was nervous when COVID started, but now we’re having a party in the top end.”

There is no doubt the COVID-19 pandemic has hit Australia hard, and the property market has not been untouched.

But one upper north shore agent has defied the odds, selling 18 properties in July for a combined total of $51.751 million.

Leading the sales was 27 Cherry St, Warrawee, which sold in just seven days for $5.35 million.

David Walker, director of Way White Upper North Shore, said the key to success was pricing properties realistically to attract competition and urgency.

“We had 33 individual inspections during two open homes and the buyer was a young family who have been renting in the area while waiting for the right property to purchase,” he said.

“The appeal of this home was its north orientation on the block, and the quality of the full brick, custom Felton Constructions build.”

Mr Walker said demand was outstripping supply and the lack of stock was working in the vendor’s favour.

“In an area where there’s still strong demand, buyers who are looking to upgrade or downsize are able to take advantage of historically low interest rates,” he said.

“All indications are that low stock numbers will continue, and with a shortage of properties available for buyers to choose from, I believe sellers can still achieve a great outcome for the balance of the year.

“We don’t know what’s around the corner, but we do know that right now buyers are plentiful, interest rates are low, and stock is still limited, creating high demand for particular homes.”

And if a seven-day sale was not impressive enough, Mr Walker ended the month on a massive high.

“Our quickest sale of the month came at 15 Coolabah Ave in Turramurra, where the newly built home, that was meant to hit the market on the weekend, sold in three hours,” he said.

“We showed one buyer through prior to our first inspection, and within three hours, we were signing contracts.

“After a 12-month build process, and the vendors spending countless hours preparing it for sale, all their hard work paid off with an incredible sale result of $4,400,000.”

$2M BRACKET A HIT

Sales on the upper north shore around the $2 million mark were flavour of the week in both auctions and private treaties.

Four of the top five auctions results were just under the mark or over it, and four of the five top private treaty results were more than $2 million.

Among the results was the $2.25 million sale of 26 Awatea Rd, St Ives Chase for $2.25 million.

The 921sqm property had a guide of $2.2 million and came with its own indoor heated swimming pool, as well as a four-bedroom house with multiple living spaces.

Katheryn Purdy, of Di Jones North Shore – Wahroonga, said there had been strong interest in the home, particularly from families wanting to be in the catchment of the popular St Ives North Primary School.

She said the buyer was a local who loved the design of the home. The vendors had originally bought the property to knock it down and start again with a new home, but then decided on a full renovation.

“Anything around the $2 million mark is going like hot cakes at the moment,” Ms Purdy said. “There’s still not much stock around so that’s definitely helping sales.

“I think we’re in a bit of a bubble at the moment.”

FAMILY SHIPPING OUT

SBS director of sport Ken Shipp has set a September 5 auction date for his Greenwich family home.

Mr Shipp, his wife and their two daughters are downsizing from the four-bedroom home at 3 Valleyview Cres. They have owned the 898sqm property for 10 years.

The single-level home has multiple living zones, with the family room opening to a deck overlooking the pool and rear yard.

Other features include high detailed ceilings, neutral interiors, timber floors, Caesarstone kitchen, single garage and separate carport.

The property is located within walking distance of Greenwich Public School, and is also close to Greenwich village and St Leonards train station.

The street is very tightly held – there have only been two sales in the past five years, the most recent earlier this year.

The sale of 18 Valleyview Cr in March for $2.75 million also set a new price record for the street, smashing the previous one set in 2018 by $550,000.

James Bennett and Baxter van Heyst, of Belle Property Lane Cove, are marketing the property with a $3 million price guide.

What Aussies want in their dream homes has become as varied as anytime in recent memory as house hunters ratchet up their search in increasingly uncertain times.

According to a fascinating look into Australia’s most popular streets, today’s home buyers are searching for big blocks, bargains, luxury and sentimentality as the key drivers to discover the abode they desire.

Search data from the last three years provided by realestate.com.au has revealed Australia’s most wanted streets and a window into the mind of buyers.

Australia’s hottest growth suburbs

In Sydney, the exclusive eastern suburbs have a lion’s share of the most popular streets, in Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills dominate, in Brisbane, the inner city suburbs bordered by the Brisbane River are highly sought-after and in Melbourne, many of the blue chips also areas dominate.

So what is motivating buyers in searching for their perfect street?

“There is a certain percentage of those searching, that are sticking beaking and want to check out certain homes and certain streets,” realestate.com.au chief economist Nerida Conisbee said.

“That is only one part of it though. Often those streets in those suburbs are particularly nice, even for those affluent areas. They might have a much better view, nicer houses or something else desirable that tends to lead to higher levels of interest.

“It might be close to the water, or be on a big block or have something unique about it.

“In some cases affordability is the key.”

There is also the aspiration lure of the big name streets that we come to know in the cities we live.

“If you have lived in these cities you get to know these streets,” Ms Conisbee said.

“They are aspirational. There are good schools close by and there is a lifestyle available there that people want.”

And if you want to buy in these streets, or you have a home to sell you can expect a premium price.

“You’re going to be up against more competition in these streets,” Ms Conisbee said.

“As a result of that you will likely pay a higher price than for houses in other less popular streets in the same suburb.”
