Public records show that Mr Evans is the home’s new owner.
RT Edgar director Jeremy Fox, who had the listing with fellow agent Jack Edgar, declined to comment on the sale or the buyer.
However, Mr Fox said there were still transactions happening at Melbourne’s top end, despite the colder weather and school holidays traditionally leading to a quieter market.
“People are spending to upgrade and are putting a lot of money into their principal place of residence and avoiding investing,” he added.
The outdoor area includes a terrace, limestone paving, a built-in barbecue and heated spa and pool.
