Intrigue has surrounded the house ever since the owners walked out a few years ago with teacups left on the kitchen bench and shoes lying by the front door.
The owner of T & R International games and furniture retailer is selling in Turramurra for $10 million.On the Hunters Hill waterfront there is a grand European villa-style mansion that last sold for $9.
Locals, who call it the “abandoned mansion”, say it was as if the owners went out unexpectedly one day and never returned. There were teacups on the kitchen bench, shoes lying by the front door, the letter box overflowing, and the lawn left unmowed.Adding to the intrigue was a notice stuck to the door earlier this year that stated: “The property is in possession of the mortgagee acting under power of sale.
The Mas have listed it with Ray White Kingsgrove agent George Boghos, who said the owners are in China now and do not want to talk about the sale. He added that he has had cash offers of $10 million and $11 million but will not set a guide until after this weekend’s first open inspection., founder of touring company and artist booking agency Niche Talent, is set to emerge as Marrickville’s $6 million record-setter in coming weeks.
The seven-bedroom mansion gives no indication of the financial troubles of its owners. The 10,000-square-metre property is set behind a gated driveway and boasts park-sized gardens, as well as a championship-sized tennis court, swimming pool, fully equipped cabana with pizza oven, and garaging for 10 cars.
