Walker House, the luxury Bayview home of Chinese property developer Richard Gu, has new owners. It sold just hours before its scheduled recent mid-week auction.
Gu had paid $7.95 million for the home less than 12 months ago.
Walker House, completed under the ownership of the Walker family in 2007, had an $8.5 million guide through LJ Hooker Avalon agent Claudio Macolongo who was under instructions not to reveal the price or buyer.
The home with a 20 metre wet edge pool and championship size tennis court was based largely on the groundbreaking 1946 Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, California.
It has five bedrooms, five separate living zones, a gym, steam room and spa. Walker House was influenced by the designs of Richard Neutra and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Richard Neutra-inspired Walker House, Bayview sold

Homes designed by the acclaimed architect Richard Leplastrier are capturing buying interest across Sydney.
His early 1990s Balmain East design for the longtime home of the late Labor activist and environmentalist Tom Uren been sold.
Angophora House at Avalon Beach is up for sale.
And last week a mid-1970s Lepastrier-designed Bayview (above) offering came on the market.
The Uren home came with a price guidance of $3.45 million and $3,795,000 through Modern House agent Marcus Lloyd-Jones.
It was listed by his opera singer widow Christine Logan who has decided to downsize locally.
Richard Leplastrier designed the 287 sqm home in the early 1990s with jarrah and karri trees recycled from warehouse in Fremantle.
The former minister in the Whitlam and Hawke Labor governments then created a private rainforest oasis on the 496 sqm holding.
One of the first things Leplastrier did was to spend a week camping on the site with his partner, Karen Lambert.
“I had my drawing board there, and some of the first ideas for the house came from that week’s work onsite,” says Leplastrier. “When you do that, you see the way the place works in a way you don’t see if you just visit for a couple of hours two or three times.
"You see how it works in the weather, how it works from the point of view of the sunrise and sunset, noise, neighbours, harbour activity etc.”
Leplastrier says <a href="/news/59036-tom-uren-s-balmain-east-home-listed" target="_blank">Tom Uren</a> was very much at the forefront of his mind as he designed this house starting with the extra high front door. Uren was comparable in stature to the 1.94 metre tall Gough Whitlam.
“Tom told me he wanted good high ceilings, and that’s what he got,” says Leplastrier. 
Listed by David Watson at LJ Hooker Avalon, the Bayview home is modelled partly on Leplastrier's Palm Garden house at Bilgola Beach (below).
<img src="/images/2016/11/08/Screen%20Shot%202016-11-08%20at%209.54.46%20AM.png" alt="">
Comprising four distinct pavilions connected by internal corridors, the large family home comes with a 13 metre saltwater infinity edge pool on its 4,078 sqm parcel.
Watson has a guide of $2.8 million to $3.08 million. It last traded for $2 million in 2010.
Leplastrier, one of Australia’s most influential and internationally awarded architects, studied architecture at the University of Sydney, then working with Jorn Utzon on the Sydney Opera House.
One of his main tasks was to help prepare sketches for the Danish architect's proposed Bayview house, which later became the basis for Utzon's cliffside house on the Mediterranean island of Majorca (below).

A resort-style home in Sydney’s northern beaches has been listed for sale. 
It has been offered by Ray White Palm Beach agent Noel Nicholson with a price guide of $8.2 million to $9 million.
Positioned across a 1,517 square metre parcel of land, the 610 square metre home at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-bayview-129889666" target="_blank">1903-1905 Pittwater Road, Bayview</a> comes with six ensuite bedrooms, stone-topped kitchen, multiple living/dining zones, games/sports room and home theatre.

Other features include alfresco terrace, lush lawns, wine cellar, mosaic tiled pool, and triple garage.
John and Jenny Bassetto secured the 1,517 square metre parcel of prime land to create their dream home.

<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/12/3/bayview%203.jpg" alt=""> 
Nicholson said he’s been blown away by the early level of interest in this extraordinary property.
“Having said all that, this house is designed for raising a family and enjoying the privacy and quiet of just sitting and looking at the view of kayaks, boats and paddle boarders or the stunning outlook down to Lion Island,” he said.
“Architecturally designed to take full advantage of a level double block and spectacular Pittwater views, this is a remarkable residence by every standard.”

The Dawson twin brothers shared the same Sydney neighbourhood in the early 1980s.
It was during the time when Lyn Dawson, the wife of the recently charged Chris Dawson, went missing in 1982.
The brothers owned in Bayview just two doors from each other on Gilwinga Drive — Chris at number 2 (pictured above) and Paul at 6 (pictured below).
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2018/12/13/Bayview%206.JPG" alt="">
The Dawsons each bought more than 4000 sqm of land on a Cambridge Credit housing subdivision to build large homes, which were completed around 1980.
Chris and Lyn paid $33,500 for their 4165 sqm parcel in 1976. Paul had paid $31,500 for 4060 sqm the same year, when with wife Marilyn they moved from the nearby Warriewood.
Both their wives were registered on the title. Chris transferred the property solely into his ownership in 1984, pursuant to court orders.
It was the same year Paul and Marilyn sold for $295,000. In 1986 Chris then sold his home for $285,000.
Paul’s former home last sold for $2.05 million in 2015, while Chris’s one-time house fetched $2.4 million just last year.
