The young couple who pounced on a Spanish Mission apartment block at auction have grand plans, starting off with a \u2019salmon pink\u2019 paint job \u2013 And they reckon they got it for a great price.<\/p>\n

Julia Maguire and Andrew Spira have snapped up Glenbray, a block of four Spanish Mission-style apartments in Elizabeth Bay, at a hot auction \u2014 and the couple can\u2019t believe their good fortune.<\/p>\n

\n

Maguire, 37, executive director of boutique investor and media relations agency The Capital Network, and Spira, 22, CEO of lender Pineapple Funding, paid $3.41m \u2014 $310,000 above reserve \u2014 for the three two-bedroom apartments and one-bedder at\u00a072 Elizabeth Bay Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Maguire and Spira, who live nearby in The Loop, reckon they\u2019ve done well \u2014 and they\u2019re already planning to give its dull facade a facelift within weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to paint it salmon pink and make the Spanish Mission design pop!\u201d Maguire told the Courier.<\/p>\n
