The restaurateur Oliver Shaul, most famous for opening The Summit restaurant on top of the Harry Seidler-designed Australia Square Tower, snapped it up in 1990 in a mortgagee sale.
The current owners, investment banker Peter St George and his wife, Elizabeth, bought it for $4.025m in 1999 and have done several upgrades over the years.
The three-level home is surrounded by private tiered gardens and lawns, with an outdoor entertainment terrace and a sunny north-facing courtyard with a solar-heated pool.
