Shark Tank judge Andrew Banks and wife Andrea have increased their foothold in the Sydney property market.

They've spent $6,065,000 on the Double Bay home of recruitment king Joel Barbuto, who restored the 1890s Victorian Italianate manor during his short ownership.

It's been promptly leased at $3,500 a week, reflecting a three percent yield.

Barbuto, the managing director of Gough Recruitment, paid $4,425,000 for the Cross Street landmark in 2016 when offered for the first time in 50 years.

Set on 335 sqm, the two-storey home has three bedrooms, two with balconies, three bathrooms and a landscaped north facing garden. 

The home has been bought under a company name, with the directors including Stephen and Patricia Stevens, who recently spent $6.2 million on the Double Bay home of socialite interior designer Nellie Tilley.

Andrew and Andrea are now based at Point Piper having spent $21 million on a non-harbourfront home, having sold in Beverly Hills for US$15,995,000.

Earlier this year they were approved for a renovation for the Point Piper property.

It was a return to Point Piper for the couple, who previously called Villa Veneto, the Point Piper waterfront, home for before selling for a reported $52 million in 2010.

Their latest purchase isn't as grand, but is the third most expensive house sale in Double Bay this year.
