An architecturally designed-David Walker home in Vaucluse sold under the hammer for $5.15 million, making it this week’s most expensive sale, according to RP Data.

Located at 54 Olola Avenue, the five-bedroom sold on September 17.

The double level residence features four bathrooms, an atrium style entry, high ceilings, timber floors and wool carpets.

Situated on 759 square metres, the property also includes an entertaining terrace and pool with harbour views.
