There's whispers's one of Paddington's largest terrace homes has been purchased for around $7 million by Dr Naomi McCullum, the pioneer of non-surgical cosmetic medicine.
It is not far from her practice, The Manse Clinic.
The five bedroom Underwood Street residence, which last traded for $1.55 million in 1998, had a $7 million price guide through The Agency's Ben Collier, who secured the sale pre-auction.
The stately home on 475 sqm with swimming pool in its mature established gardens has retained its original heritage, so could get a makeover.
The traditional verandahs wrapping around all three levels have views down towards Rushcutters Bay.
It comes with over nine metres wide frontage at the end of the heritage row.
