Sir Rod Eddington sells 1930s Toorak home for $10.1 million
The Melbourne businessman Sir Rod Eddington has sold his renovated 1930s Toorak home of the past eight years.
More than $11 million was expected for the Ledbury Court property which came with pool and tennis court.
But Title Tattle gleans Chinese buyers paid $10.1 million.
The 2,154 square metre holding was bought by Sir Rod and his wife, Young Sook Park for $7.85 million in 2006 from the Ayre family who'd been there since paying $550,000 in 1980.
It was for sale through Kay & Burton's Michael Gibson.
The historic triple-storey mansion sits around a north-south tennis court, pool and cabana in manicured gardens. The four bedroom home comes with two studies, a gymnasium and conservatory.
The master suite has a super-sized dressing room.
Apparently the ground-floor study, with fireplace, is almost as big as the double garage.
Melbourne businessman Sir Rod Eddington paid $6,175,000 to downsize Toorak homes.
The new acquisition of the contemporary abode (pictured below) was at a slight discount on its 2008 sale price of $6.3 million.
It was built by the developer Peter Gibson in 2007 to a design by architect Ilario Cortese.
