69 Fitzwilliam Rd, Vaucluse sold for more than $50m last week.
Last week was a big week for trophy home sales and two of the biggest were by Highland Double Bay Malouf director David Malouf.
One was worth more than $50m for the Fitzwilliam Rd, Vaucluse waterfront home of Dawn Lincoln-Smith, which last traded for £19,500 in 1958 when bought by Lincoln-Smith and her late husband Paul Lincoln-Smith, the former chairman of Magnum Gold and Magnum Resources.
Done in conjunction with the Sotheby’s director, Michael Pallier, it was the fifth-largest sale of the year. Neither agent would discuss the deal.
That transaction was reported on over the weekend, but one that slipped completely under the radar was the circa $22m sale of a knockdown rebuild home at 3 Gilliver Ave, Vaucluse ahead of this Thursday’s scheduled auction
It came with DA approved plans for a new home by Stafford Architects.

The mega price for the rundown five-bedroom property on the 707sqm block, which has gun barrel views over Sydney Harbour, is particularly strong given that a far superior home nearby sold for not much more last week.
The grand designer home at 10 Queens Ave, Vaucluse, described as “reminiscent of a Hollywood Hills mansion”, also had panoramic views of the harbour and it went for $26m via Alexander Phillips of PPD.
That’s still considerably more than the guide $20m+ guide when it was first listed in 2020.
