1870s Woollahra trophy home fetches $7 million-plus
A six-bedroom Victorian terrace on Ocean Street in Woollahra sold recently for more than $7 million, and possibly close to $7.25 million.
The circa 1870 home has been redesigned by Tanner Architects and features three-metre-plus ceilings, American oak floors and marble fireplaces.
Vendors David and Louise Glen bought the property in 2009 for $4.9 million.

The 765-square-metre home features three bathrooms and a marble island kitchen with Miele and Wolf appliances.
Outdoors, the property boasts Will Danger landscaped gardens, a glass-fronted swimming pool and an outdoor terrace.
The property was sold through Ben Collier of McGrath Edgecliff.
In 1988, the Victorian terrace was used as a Yugoslav Consulate and was involved in a diplomatic incident.
The Glens purchased Eltham, a circa 1880 home on Egdecliff Road in Woollahra in 2011 for $9 million.
The Victorian Regency-style home was purchased from the Roulstone who purchased the property in 2006 for $9 million.
Eltham boasts five bedrooms and four bedrooms over two levels and features a hanging chandelier in the kitchen.
The property is set on 1,518 square metres and includes a swimming pool, cabana and full sized tennis court.
Channel Seven director Bruce McWilliam purchased the two-storey property for $5.15 million in 2004 and renovated it, before selling it to the Roulstones.
The median house price in Woollahra is $1.84 million, according to RP Data.
