Former Easybeats home now $100m rock star

The highly anticipated rebuilt home on a waterfront site previously owned by Harry Vanda of The Easybeats has just hit the market with gobsmacking $100m expectations.Vanda, who was the lead guitarist in the rock band most famous for the 1966 hit ‘Friday on My Mind’, and his wife, Robyn had bought the 830sqm waterfront block at 2A Bayview Hill Rd, Rose Bay for just $667,500 in 1983.The new home at 2A Bayview Hill Rd, Rose Bay, has $100m price expectations.They sold it to the property developer Stuart Rose and his wife, Irina, for $15.5m in 2015 and they’ve just completed, after a four-year build, a “world-class” six-bedroom, nine-bathroom residence with double garage.It’s 50m from the waterfront mansion at 19 Bayview Hill Rd bought by Birkenstock footwear billionaire Alex Birkenstock and his wife Vanessa for $83.5m last December, the highest price of the previous financial year.By all accounts, the Rose home is even more impressive, described as a “new benchmark in absolute waterfront luxury”.MORE:Cali-Press co-founder lists Tamarama ‘masterpiece’The Easybeats in 1968.
