Around $7.4 million has been secured by the former Microsoft executive Daniel Petre for his Lavender Bay 1886 mansion, Alta Mura.
Petre and wife, Carolyn bought the Lavender Bay property from Sydney barrister Clive Steirn for $6.4 million shortly after setting the Killara record for his $11.5 million sale in 2011.
They renovated the five bedroom Victorian home with swimming pool amid the landscaped gardens.
Alta Mura had an asking price of $7.7 million through Belle Property agent Tim Foote in conjunction with McGrath agents Nigel Mukhi and Piers van Hamburg.
Petre and his wife Carolyn have bought the nearby four bedroom Villa Medusa for $8 million after listing Alta Mura early last year.
REA Group chairman Hamish McLennan and his wife Lucinda are the reported buyers of Alta Mura.
