Miner Basil Mcilhagga lists Paddington home

Businessman Basil Mcilhagga, the Hong Kong-based CEO of mining giant Stibium Group, has listed his long-held Paddington home with $5.5 million hopes.

Mcilhagga's first purchase was a 300 square metre landholding which had a three bedroom terrace. He paid $540,000 back in 1992.

Seven years later he paid $360,000 for the 120 square metre next door.

Now the Caledonia Street property comprises a main house and an adjoining cottage.

The main residence has three bedrooms, two marble bathrooms and an entertainers' terrace with swimming pool.

The cottage has two bedrooms.

Bradfield Cleary agents Bob Guth and Georgie Cleary have the listing.

Another multi-lot Caledonia Street offering is from cosmetic surgeon Alia Nasser and her dentist husband Nasser Elhage who have $7.5 million hopes.

The couple bought the 450-square-metre property with a central courtyard and swimming pool for $5 million in 2013.

It comprised three dwellings on three titles.
