The newly completed home at 49 Augustine Street has been thoughtfully crafted, with multiple living areas across two floors, including an articulated open plan living and dining area on the ground floor leading onto a comfortable alfresco space and inground pool.
There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms available. Four of the bedrooms are on the upper floor, including the master suite, which has a generous ensuite with double shower and double vanities, as well as a large walk-in wardrobe. Two of the additional bedrooms on this floor have walk-in robes leading onto a shared bathroom, while the third bedroom has a built-in robe and separate ensuite.

A water lily painting by Claude Monet of his Giverny gardens is expected to achieve at least US$65 million at Christie’s November sale of 20th-century art in New York
Le bassin aux nymphéas, or water lily pond, painted around 1917 to 1919, is a monumental canvas extending more than six-and-a-half feet wide and more than three-feet tall, that has been in the same anonymous private collection since 1972. According to Christie’s, the painting has never been seen publicly.
The artwork is “that rarest thing: a masterpiece rediscovered,” Max Carter, Christie’s vice chairman of 20th and 21st century art said in a news release Thursday.
A first look at this thickly painted example of Monet’s famed and influential water lily series will be on Oct. 4, when it is revealed in Hong Kong.
The price record for a Nymphéas painting by Monet was set in May 2018 for Nymphéas en fleur, another large-scale work that had been in the collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller. That painting sold for nearly US$85 million.
The current work for sale is guaranteed, Christie’s confirmed. The auction house did not provide further details on the seller.
