Lleyton Hewitt's Yve penthouse under offer

The Yve penthouse of tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt and wife Bec is under contract.

The apartment has sat idly on the market for three years, changing agency's a number of times before its recent likely sale.

White Fox Real Estate agents Marty Fox and Ryan Fisher were the agents to secure the offer, after drastically changing the decor when they took over the listing in June.

When first listed in 2012, the apartment was listed with $15 million hopes. Despite no public price listing, these hopes were reduced to around $10 million.

After quietly securing a $12.7 million Toorak mansion earlier this year, the Hewitt's were ready to sell as soon.

An agent e-mail suggested there had been "a price reduction from the vendors and the motivation to sell is still very substantial." it read.

Overlooking Albert Park lake, Hewitt purchased two apartments and merged them into a mega six bedroom penthouse.

The apartment on levels 19 and 20 of the iconic building spans 710 sqm internally and 443 sqm of outdoor space.

Controlled by a world-leading AMX Smart System that includes remote-controlled sheer and blackout blinds, plasma screen in each room, zoned music and an exntesive video library.

The penthouse had become problematic in recent times, with consistent reduction in price guidance.

Late last year the couple sold their Sydney acreage, emptying their property portfolio in the Harbour city.
