Australian tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt and his wife, actress Bec Hewitt, are bringing a luxurious coastal mansion to auction this weekend, drawing attention from high-profile buyers locally and internationally. Their property, located at Burleigh Heads and inspired by Palm Springs-style architecture, has captured widespread interest due to its opulent features and close proximity to the beach. Listed with Carol Carter from Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty, the “Palms” residence has welcomed over 130 viewings, with many curious to see its chic design.
Originally acquired by the Hewitts in 2021 for $4.3 million, the home sits on a 539-square-meter lot and is surrounded by 400 meters of beachfront. This sophisticated abode offers a perfect blend of indoor-outdoor living with an open-plan kitchen and dining space leading to a stunning outdoor kitchen and pool area. The main kitchen is a showstopper with high-end amenities, including a butler’s pantry, stone countertops, designer appliances, and a striking six-meter-high void.
Luxury details in the house include an integrated wine cellar, fireplaces, American oak floors, Venetian plaster finishes, and custom Australian brass tapware. The upper floor boasts three spacious ensuite bedrooms, with a lavish master suite featuring a custom dressing area and designer bathroom. Downstairs, a guest bedroom and dedicated office further enhance the home’s functionality and appeal.
This property first made waves online in 2021, attracting over 500 auction attendees, and has since continued to garner significant interest. With its high-end design and prime coastal location, this mansion is anticipated to fetch a premium bid at auction on Sunday.
