Andrew Eagleston, the Parramatta memorabilia businessman who heads one of the membership groups keen to oust the Parramatta Eels board, has relisted his luxury Bella Vista property.

It comes with $2.5 million to $2.7 million hopes having been completed in 2014 with a Balinese influence.

It is on a 700 sqm block located in the tightly held Bella Vista Waters precinct that cost $235,000 in 2003.

Jonathon Lee of Louis Carr Castle Hill has the listing of the five bedroom, five bathroom home. It comes with home theatre and full length bar. The swimming pool comes with outdoor terrace with a custom built BeefEater Barbecue and bar fridge.

The home failed to sell at October auction last year.

Eagleston's passion for the NRL club is apparent on its walls with two Parramatta jerseys hanging proudly in the home office and the theatre room.

There's also a bat used by former Aussie cricket captain Michael Clarke.

Eagleston is the director of Pro Sports Memorabilia, one of Australia's leading sporting memorabilia and sports merchandising companies.

With the Parramatta Eels board in disarray following the salary cap controversy, Eagleston emerged in May to take down the so-called 'gang of five'. He has the backing of former Macquarie Bank boss Bill Moss.

Not many Sydney terrace houses still have the dunny out the back, but the occasionally described coolest nerd, and former 2BL breakfast presenter, Adam Spencer does.

Though the turn of the century brick outhouse is not the huge selling point as his Newtown terrace goes up for August 6 auction.

It is a double-storey terrace offering through LJ Hooker agent Nick Moraitis, who says buyer interest is at the $1.2 million to $1.3 million level.

Some 20 groups went through yesterday's open for inspection.

The three bedroom Laura Street terrace, which was bought for $590,000 in 2002, has been styled ahead of its auction.

When he was in residence, one of the walls of the modern but modest terrace were dominated by photos of happy-looking Third World children whose sight has been restored by the Fred Hollows Foundation of which he is a huge supporter. 

The cul de sac terrace with 89 sqm living space, has one internal bathroom with a laundry and second toilet at the rear of the north facing back yard on the 145 sqm block. 

Academic George Seddon once research once that the typical Australian back yard in the cities and country towns had, throughout the first half of the 20th century, a dunny near the back fence, so that the pan could be collected from the dunny lane by the dunny man.

There have been two sales above $1.3 million on the street, with another selling last month at $1.28 million, which is exactly the suburb's median house price, according to CoreLogic. 

The listing follows the lifestyle change by the self-confessed geek several years ago.

Since 2005 Spencer has owned a Central Coast property at Copacabana with wife, Melanie Mossman, having sold his 80 ha retreat at Wog Wog, near Braidwood on the Southern Tablelands in 2010.

Spencer, the father of two, grew up in Hunters Hill, the eldest of three children, in a home that had been in the family for generations.

The storage queen Tina Clark has sold her Tamarama home and bought something a little more snug given her expansionary plans for her company into US markets.

She's still staying by a Sydney beach however, having secured a four bedroom Coogee apartment for $1.92 million through George Savva at LJ Hooker Coogee.

A stickler for the finer things in life, Clark sought out a lock up and leave given the Sagitine storage founder is spending more time overseas.

Her new 197 sqm apartment occupies the entire upper level of a boutique Art Deco block of just five.

Her three-bedroom Birrell Street, Tamarama renovation was bought for $1.43 million in 2003 from the wealthy Australia-based Buckeridge family. Adjoining Tamarama Gully, the 540 sqm property sold for $3 million through Simon Exleton at McGrath Estate Agents. 

Clark, a former New York-based broker, founded Sagitine just three years ago after roles at AMP, Deutsche Bank and Samsung Securities.

She spent a lot of her career in the shopping hubs of New York and Hong Kong and, put simply, couldn't find a storage solution for her prized possessions. So she designed one.
