What would you pay for a Centennial Park mansion with features such as a solar-heated plunge pool with waterfall, a Gone with the Wind-style staircase; a 20-seat dining room and a 14-car garage?
Hoteliers Sandy and Angelo Elliott’s six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home at 18 Martin Road has all of these things and it’s just been listed with LJ Hooker Double Bay’s Bill Malouf and Margaret Morosi.
There’d been lofty ambitions of breaking the $16.5m suburb record when the property was previously listed in March with another agent.

The record had been set when tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes sold his Lang Rd mansion, Braelin, for $16.5 million, in 2018.
But these hopes have now been revised to simply exceeding the $13m offer the Elliotts — who have purchased a $20m+ apartment at One Barangaroo — have received previously.
. Among the Martin Rd home’s many other attractions are a continual water supply thanks to a bore and of course palatial interiors.
The house is simply too big for the empty-nester couple, who say they are now “right sizing” to One Barangaroo Crown Residences, which are in James Packer’s Wilkinson Eyre-designed landmark hotel tower complete next year.
Details about the apartment haven’t been provided, except it’s known it was purchased in the $20 million to $30 million range.
CoreLogic records show the Elliotts purchased the 802 sqm property across the road from Centennial Park for $950,000 — the price of some one bedroom apartments today — 32 years ago in 1988.
However, the original house was torn down 20 years ago with the current residence, built in the grand Victorian style, rising in its place.
The master suite has a sitting and living room with built-in TV and two balconies overlooking Centennial Park. The luxurious spa ensuite has gold fittings.
