Dionnie Fahour: Ex-wife of Ahmed Fahour sells Elwood home

Dionnie Fahour, the ex-wife of former Australia Post boss Ahmed Fahour, has sold her Elwood home in a deal behind closed doors.

An undisclosed result was also secured for 84 Ruskin Street, which originally hit the market with a $3.1-$3.4m price guide.

But Ms Fahour was forced to discount her asking price during the 60-day campaign to $3-$3.19m, before scoring a sale.

84 Ruskin St, Elwood has been sold by Dionnie Fahour.

Ahmed and Dionnie Fahour split in 2018.

Abercromby’s agent Simon Curtain would not comment on the vendor’s identity or the final sale price, but said both buyer and seller were “delighted” by the result.

“It sold shortly after a private auction, which was directly impact by COVID-19 restrictions,” Mr Curtain said.

“We had two or three buyers hovering around the property at all times, with one being a standout who eventually bought the home.”

The property sold for an undisclosed price.

He said the buyer was from Melbourne. The four-bedroom house featured a glamorous kitchen, large pool, separate garage and self-contained studio.

Ms Fahour only bought the property in September last year for $3.222m, according to CoreLogic.

Realestate.com.au data showing the suburb’s median house prices dipped by 2.6 per cent to $1.9m in the past 12 months.

The property sold in a private deal.

The vendor split from the former NAB and Australia Post chief executive in 2018. They previously owned a Hawthorn penthouse together at 603/862 Glenferrie Road, which had been on the sales and rental market earlier this year before being taken down.

Mr Fahour also owns two other Hawthorn properties: landmark manor Invergowrie on Coppin Grove, which he bought for $22m in 2013 and attempted to sell for $40-$44m in 2018, and a Kinkora Rd mansion he paid $16.25m for in 2018.
