Slater & Gordon boss secures $11.2 million Kew trophy home sale

The Slater and Gordon managing director Andrew Grech has sold his Kew trophy home to the Shen family for $11.2 million.

The Grech family bought the Victorian era home in 2008 for $4.51 million.

Kay & Burton selling agent Sam Wilkinson said family reasons were the cause of the sale.

Designed by Stephens & Co Architects, in collaboration with award winning interior designers Tania Di Lizio, the fully renovated three level Victorian mansion has been viewed as one of Kew's best property renovations.

The five bedroom home sits on 1800 sqm of Paul Bangay landscaped gardens. The grounds feature a solar-gas in-ground pool and poolside gymnasium.

The property has a home cinema, an upstairs library, and a pool-view alfresco entertaining pavilion.

The Australian Financial Review's Rear Window column, which followed the listing with zeal, suggested it had been expected to sell for $10 million.
