Australian cricketer Steve Smith has sold his Vaucluse mansion for $12.38 million at an auction.
The property was sold for almost double the amount for what the former Aussie skipper had bought two years ago.
The house at Kings Road, New South Wales went under the hammer on Thursday evening, with two buyers pushing the value above the $6.6 million that Smith and partner Dani Willis bought for in 2020.
The pair had renovated the home, converting it into a far more luxurious residence.
Four buyers registered to bid on the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house, and bidding opened with an offer of $11.5 million.
Auctioneer then asked for minimum bids of $250,000, before adjusting that to $100,000 increases when the crowd held back.
Bidding rose in $100,000 jumps to $12 million, with a family from the north shore and another from the eastern suburbs competing for the keys.
