Ex-rower’s pad goes for $5m
A JAW-DROPPING mansion has set a new record for one of the Gold Coast’s hottest streets after selling for $5 million in a secret sale.
The Isle of Capri property at 110 Amalfi Drive, which was owned by ex-world champion rower Cy Pearson, was snapped up by a Melbourne buyer.
“It’s the highest sale ever achieved on the street,” said Kollosche Prestige Agents director Michael Kollosche, who handled the deal.
He said the contemporary house, which was built in December, attracted a lot of attention from house hunters despite not being listed on the market. Following negotiations with the owner, he struck a deal.
“A Melbourne buyer looking to relocate to the Gold Coast bought it,” he said.
“They rang me about something else and the other property wasn’t suitable.”
He declined to reveal any information about the owner but property records show the house belonged to Pearson.
Designer Jared Poole is the mastermind behind the house’s unique architecture and style.
He said its dark interiors gave it a smart and sophisticated edge. “That established the character of the house. There was a lot of attention to detail that went into the interiors.”
He said a large black and white painting by local artist Chanelle Rose was a standout feature.
“We talked (the owner) into having an art piece there,” Mr Poole said. “It’s quite a masculine painting. It just suited the style and personality of our client.”
Property records show the house at No.72 previously set the bar after selling for $4.12 million in September last year.
