Fashion bigwig Jacquie Naylor has sold 39 Glassford St, Armadale.


Prominent fashion figure and ex-Myer board director Jacquie Naylor has farewelled her Armadale home for more than $6m.

Her former roles include senior positions at outdoor clothing brand Macpac, jeweller Michael Hill and Cambridge Clothing.

She’s also been on the board of luxury lifestyle label Husk which she bought in 2007 and sold five years later.

Ms Naylor listed her late-Edwardian house at 39 Glassford St with $5.5m-$6m price hopes.

Kay & Burton Stonnington’s Gerald Delany said an expressions of interest process lead to a recent boardroom auction where three bidders competed to secure the four-bedroom home.

Mr Delany declined to comment on the price but industry sources indicated the property sold above its asking range’s upper end.

The historic house has a modern rear, including the rear garden’s pool.

He said the Melbourne-based buyer loved the location close to High St’s shops and eateries, plus public transport and schools.

The low-maintenance, irrigated gardens with a north-facing rear terrace and pool also appealed.

And the option to potentially live across the abode’s two levels or just one level, thanks to the ground floor main bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and marble-fitted ensuite, was another key factor.

“It was also fully-renovated and very-well done, you could move in straight away, the house was very up-to-the-minute,” Mr Delany added.

The house is less than 500m from High St in Armadale.

Renovated under a project led by DesignOffice creative director Mark Simpson, the home’s other features include a lift, rooftop terrace, study and formal sitting room.

The kitchen is fitted with a butler’s pantry, ILVE, Miele and Liebherr appliances and textured marble.

Head up a spiral staircase or take the lift to upstairs where there’s three other bedrooms, a central bathroom and guest ensuite.

Parquetry floors, high ceilings, heated towel rails, a combined laundry and powder room and electric driveway gates are among the other highlights.
