Lleyton's $3.2m palace By Kim Wheatley September 10, 2003 TENNIS champion Lleyton Hewitt has bought Adelaide's most expensive house at $3.2 million. The ostentatious five-bedroom home boasts all the features expected in a multi-million-dollar property - including cinema, bars, indoor pool, rock waterfall and a sauna. But it doesn't have a tennis court. Hewitt's new two-level property overlooks West Lakes in the city's western suburbs. It might be Adelaide's biggest recorded residential sale, but the purchase will hardly dent the former world No. 1's career prizemoney of $22 million. He also has sponsorship deals totalling more than $18 million. But the State Government will be pleased with the deal. Stamp duty is estimated at $170,000. Over the past few years, Hewitt has amassed quite a residential property portfolio in Adelaide - including three adjoining blocks of land at Tennyson, which he bought for $1.8 million. While he favours beachside properties, it is believed one of the main attractions of his new mansion is its security features with the lake providing limited access from the rear. Selling agent Dan McDonald would not confirm the most talked about rumour in real estate circles in the past few weeks. "We can't discuss the sale until the settlement is reached," he said yesterday. "I think its significant for Adelaide but I think it's a sign of things to come as people recognise the quality of lifestyle, climate and so on that we have to offer." The vendor, an Adelaide accountant, spent eight years building the 99sq m home but lived there for little more than a year. Neighbour Vicki Sylaidis said she thought the property values would rise because a celebrity was moving into the area. "He's more than welcome here. It's wonderful to have him," she said. June quarterly figures revealed a record 30 per cent increase in Adelaide's median house price to $221,700. -- 小希買了新房子~恭喜!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 61.217.181.251
