Tim Gurner lists trophy home in Toorak
Tim Gurner, the rich lister who told young people to stop buying smashed avo brunches so they could afford to buy a home, is selling his Toorak trophy home.
Property developer Tim Gurner and wife Aimee are selling with price hopes of $8.3 millions to $9.1 million.
They have called the 1930s English-style six-bedroom Christopher Doyle-designed house, which is in Ms Gurner’s name, since 2014 when it cost $5.3 million.
Offers for the property close on September 19 with Marshall White agent Marcus Chiminello.
Gurner controversially suggested young people needed to stop “buying smashed avocado for 19 bucks and four coffees at $4 each” if they wanted to own a home in a 60 Minutes interview in May.
“When I was trying to buy my first home, I wasn’t buying smashed avocado for 19 bucks and four coffees at $4 each,” told the television show.
Gurner was ranked 157 on this year’s Financial Review Rich List.
Set on a 1204sq m block with a separate guesthouse, lush gardens and a heated pool and spa.
