You may not have been able to afford 652 London Road — a seven-bedroom Hollywood-style mansion in Chandler — but you do have the chance to own some of its contents, from a Versace sofa to a compost bin.
On the market since March, the home, which attracted more than half a million views on social media from buyers across Australia and the world, sold after auction to a young Brisbane family, who had been looking for a home for six months.

The property sold for more than the $3.85 million it was previously bought for.
The selling agent, Joseph Lordi of McGrath, said while he could not disclose the sale price, it exceeded the previous purchase price of $3.85 million in 2018.
Yet it seems the owner, film and television producer and music composer Hiwa Mahmodi, and the new buyers don’t have the same taste in decor, so after spending 15 months and more than $1.6 million turning the seven-bedroom Georgian-inspired home into an extravagant mansion, Mr Mahmodi has said everything must go.
Outgoing owner Hiwa Mahmodi spent $1.6 million turning the property into an extravagant mansion.
Nathan Dwyer, business development manager at Slattery Auctions and Valuations, which is handling the auction, said he had already registered more than 350 individual and grouped lots.
“It’s practically everything from the statues outside to the owner’s bed,” he said.
Some of the more attention-grabbing items include Versace furniture, more than 60 statues and feature pieces including two of life-size horses, and Mr Mahmodi’s prized grand piano.
“That’s basically his background, music, he’s a pianist and he owns a few sound studios so the piano will be a big-ticket item. And the Versace stuff, well it’s just going to go bonkers.”

Yet Mr Dwyer said there was definitely something for everyone, with some of the other lots listed including an air hockey table, pots of premium artificial flowers, fishing rods and reels, a foosball table, compost bin, an animal hutch and a wooden row boat.
“Most of the inquiries so far have been about the Versace stuff, but while there is lots of expensive stuff listed there is also a lot of not so expensive stuff,” he said.
The outgoing owner’s grand piano is one of the hot-ticket items up for grabs.
Mr Dwyer said most of the items will be set as unreserved, aside from some of Mr Mahmodi’s more prized possessions.
He said he had received hundreds of inquiries from buyers up and down the East Coast since the auction went online on Thursday.
The auction will be held on site at the property on July 26 at 1pm.
The Versace furniture has attracted a lot of inquiries.
