No Posh and Becks: It's Anthony Minichiello and Terry Biviano who buy in Vaucluse

Sydney celebrity couple Anthony and Terry Minichiello have bought a home in Vaucluse.

Selling agent Mark Meyer of LJ Levi listed the two-storey house two weeks ago with 2015 auction plans.

There were $3 million plus hopes for the late1970s/early 1980s, two storey, brick home. It was held by one family for 35 years, according to the marketing.

Vaucluse's median house price is $3.37 million, according to CoreLogic RP Data, down on its $3.78 million peak in 2010.

Since the birth of one year old daughter, Azura, the couple had been house hunting through buyer’s agents, Hastings Property, Title Tattle gathers. They only wanted to buy in Vaucluse.

The retired Sydney Roosters captain Anthony Minichiello and shoe designer wife Terry Biviano sold their Bondi Beach penthouse for just shy of $2 million in July on delayed settlement terms.

The two-storey apartment with ocean views was bought in 2005 for $1.35 million, a year before the couple met.

Sunday Telegraph columnist Ros Reines recently suggested, given their strong fashion and sporting ties, "it would be easy to consider Biviano and Minichiello as Sydney’s answer to Posh and Becks".

“No, not at all,” Terry advised Ros, who's best known these days as a fiction novelist.

Reines's fellow Telegraph property columnist Kirtsen Craze doesn't sound convinced by Terry writing the Vaucluse couple’s "plain Jane family home is a far cry from their designer lifestyle".
