Jono Deague snappily sells South Yarra home

Property entrepreneur Jono Deague and his wife, photographer Ella have snappily sold their contemporary South Yarra residence of seven years.

Set close to the CBD and a few minutes’ walk to Fawkner Park and Royal Botanic Gardens, the property came with $5 million plus hopes through Kay & Burton agents Michael Armstrong and Michael Gibson.

The couple undertook a major renovation on the Millswyn Street property when they moved into the Botantic Gardens precinct.

The four bedroom home became a three bedroom, opening up more space throughout the residence which was built on the 415 square metre block which cost around $3 million in late 2006.

It comes with a spa, pool, cellar, gymnasium, and four car underground garage.

Jono (Jonathan) Deague is the executive director at Asia Pacific Group, which owns the Art Series Hotel Group, a collection of boutique hotels that includes the renowned Blackman Hotel on St Kilda Road, Cullen Hotel in Prahran, and Olsen Hotel in South Yarra. Ella is a photographer, working in interior design and architecture.

No price has been revealed though the agency declared it as a "bullish" sale where the "good interest" matched up to "where the vendor was pretty accurately."
