The Stables, converted Clovelly warehouse passed in

There was a $3.3 million vendor bid when The Stables, the converted warehouse at Clovelly went to weekend auction.

Investment banker Jamie Garis, who until earlier this year was co-head of Greenhill Australia, and Artspace board member Julie Garis bought the two-storey home for $2.4 million in 2004 from the former TV producer and resort operator Henry Crawford and his wife, Nina.

Retaining the original hardwood ceiling beams, timber floors and a trapdoor for hay, it became a four-bedroom home with an office space, gymnasium, tandem garage, separate living areas and a plunge pool.

The Garises added a home cinema, a snooker room downstairs and a poolside sitting area.

McGrath's Chris Volpatti had issued a guide of $3.25 million plus.

The current owners have decked the four bedroom conversion out with contemporary Australian art, including pieces by David Bromley and Bill Henson.

With Asian-inspired interiors, the home features a variety of undisguised materials, including original timber flooring, timber crossbeams and exposed brick walls.
