The Alex Popov-designed former home of the art collectors Ray Wilson and James Agapitos has been snappily resold at $475,000 more within six months of its last sale.

The house, designed for showcasing the pair's substantial art collection, recently fetched $5 million. 

It was only last August when the philanthropic art collector Ray Wilson - some six years after the death of his partner, James Agapitos - accepted $4.525 million.

The house, listed with $4.5 million plus hopes through Alison Coopes last August, was designed to showcase the pair's substantial art collection.

Wilson and Agapitos bought the 930 square metre Bellevue Road property in 1994 for $1.06 million.

Popov designed a two-storey house with whole-floor guest retreat. Wilson and Agapitos’s first collection was broadly based 20th century Australian art after they purchased their first James Gleeson painting.
