According to realestate.com.au socialite Roxy Jacenko has listed her Vaucluse mansion for June 30 auction with a $14m price guide, saying she’s ready for the next chapter.
And “no, I’m not getting a divorce, and no, I haven’t run out of money,” she told the Wentworth Courier exclusively.
The five-bedroom home with five bathrooms and a double garage on a 575 sqm block at 67 Hopetoun Ave, Vaucluse is listed with Highland Double Bay Malouf director David Malouf, who describes it as “the definition of absolute luxury”.
And it should, too, once you hear how much the former PR queen spent on the renovations.
“We paid $6.6m for the house about five years ago and we would have spent $2m on it as it needed a lot of work done,” Jacenko said.
Her dear friend, the designer Blainey North redid the interiors and Annie Wilkes the garden.
“Do you remember when we had the Italian marble bench craned in through the balcony?” Jacenko laughed.
“It’s been the most incredible family home … it’s just like living in a hotel.”
But with husband Oliver Curtis based in Singapore due to his work with the family start-up Firmus, Jacenko, has decided to offload the huge property.
“We want to be in an apartment — our lives have changed dramatically over the past few years,” says Jacenko, who shut down her Sweaty Betty PR firm last November and now focuses on her social influencer promotion business, The Ministry of Talent.
She laughing off any suggestion that the reason for the house sale was because she and Curtis were getting divorced.
