A fully renovated five-bedroom house at 23 Rosemount Avenue, Summer Hill, has sold off-market for $5.28 million to buyers who’d been searching years for exactly this trophy home, with Michael Poynting of Harris Tripp brokering the one-day sale.
The sale demonstrates how database relationships and intimate suburb knowledge can deliver seamless outcomes when rare trophy properties come to market. Michael had maintained contact with buyers who knew exactly what they wanted — and were prepared to act immediately when the right property appeared.
Years-long search ends with perfect match
The purchasers had been searching for a trophy home in Summer Hill for an extended period, and this property ticked every box.
“They have been looking for quite some time for a similar trophy home in Summer Hill and knew that this would be the perfect property for them,” Michael said.
“As soon as the purchasers came through the property, I could tell they loved it and it just ticked all the boxes for them.”
The corner position on what Michael describes as Summer Hill’s best street, combined with high-level renovations, made the property stand out.
It was exactly what these buyers had been waiting to find.
Why off-market worked
The vendors were private individuals who wanted to avoid the public exposure of a traditional campaign. The off-market approach meant no styling costs, no advertising spend, and complete discretion.
“The vendors were very happy as the property sold off-market without having to invest money in styling and advertising, and they are very private people,” Michael said.
A delayed settlement clause gave the vendors the flexibility they needed, making the transaction work smoothly for all parties.
Michael’s existing relationship with the buyers meant he could move quickly and confidently when the listing became available.
A rare opportunity in Summer Hill
Properties of this calibre rarely come to market in Summer Hill. This sale represents the sixth-highest price ever recorded in the area — a testament to both the property’s quality and Michael’s track record in the suburb.
Trophy homes on premier streets in Summer Hill command significant premiums over the median, which reflects more typical family homes in the suburb.
For vendors considering a sale in the area, Michael’s advice is clear: premium properties in prime positions continue to attract serious buyers who know the market and are ready to act.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house includes two car spaces and benefits from its elevated corner position with street frontage on two sides.
Summer Hill’s median house price sits at $2.5 million, according to PropTrack, with the suburb recording 7% annual growth over the past six months.
