Architect Paul McMillan's Surfers Paradise house sells for $6.6 million

The house of owner-occupier Paul McMillan has sold for $6.6 million.

The seven bedroom, seven bathroom house at 117 Commodore Drive in Paradise Waters was listed with a $7 million price guide.

Set on a 939 square metre plot, the house was designed by the Dubai-based hotel architect after he and his wife Aliya purchased the site for $960,000 in 1999.

The Gold Coast Bulletin reported that the couple bought the plot two weeks after spotting it on a family holiday.

The four-storey house has a five-car basement garage with a separate workshop, a gymnasium and a 500-bottle wine cellar. It also includes an 18 metre lap pool, limestone-floored living areas, and gas fireplaces. On the top floor, there is a lounge and deck, a steam room, a massage room and an office.

McMillan, based in Dubai, has worked on projects for international hotel developer Starwood, including the $600 million St Regis Saadiyat Island Resort in Abu Dhabi.

117 Commodore Drive's $6.6 million price makes it the second most expensive home to sell this week, according to CoreLogic RP Data.

Topping this week's sales was the $8.15 million Taynish, at 18 Victoria Road in Bellevue Hill.
