Sydney Mansion Aims to Be the First Australian Home to Sell for More Than A$200 Million, Tom Brady’s Former Boston Apartment Hits the Market, and More

A Sydney waterfront mansion that has just hit the market could set a countrywide price record as the first home to sell for A$200 million (US$129.77 million).

Located in the affluent suburb of Point Piper, the sprawling home sits on a lot that’s equivalent to “four normal housing blocks” and features 98 meters (321.5 feet) of water frontage along the harbor, according to an announcement on Wednesday from Ken Jacobs, director of Australia Pacific of Forbes Global Properties, who has the listing in association with real estate agent Brad Pillinger.

“The estate is Australia’s most iconic residence and ranks amongst the best in the world, combining both privacy and space, exuding elegance and comfort, while featuring gun-barrel views of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge,” Jacobs said in a statement.

A new owner could score a Back Bay home NFL star Tom Brady owned in the mid-aughts. The three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home is headed back to the market this week for $8.495 million. Brady bought the unit on Commonwealth Avenue in 2004 and sold it in 2008 for $5.285 million. Despite the celebrity cachet, the home has a completely new look these days as renovations saw it “90% gutted,” according to the listing agent
