A glorious retro-style home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, owned by Channel Seven chief executive Bruce McWilliam, is going under the hammer next month.
Located in the sought-after ‘Paris’ end of Paddington, 3 miles from the CBD, the luxurious pad is listed with an eye-watering price guide of $14.5 million.
McWilliam purchased the spacious three-bedroom, three-bath, two-story home as an investment property in 2002 for $2,735,000, reports The Wentworth Courier.
Since then, McWilliam, Seven’s commercial director, has renovated the original house into a chic ‘European’ style home.
Features include wooden floors, patio doors and two private covered balconies – known as Loggia – leading from the upstairs bedrooms.

Meanwhile, the large kitchen features a walk-in pantry, a generous breakfast island and plenty of bench space.
Downstairs there is also an outdoor entertainment terrace that opens onto a spacious ‘family room’.
Other features include a separate ‘sitting room’, formal dining room and lounge area.
Highlights also include a large sculpture garden and a private office that can be converted into a fourth bedroom.

According to the report, McWilliam’s hopes of making a big profit from the sale have been well-founded since the neighboring five-bedroom property went under the hammer in November for a whopping $17.5 million.
In 2021, the Ny Breaking Australia reported that McWilliam is estimated to own approximately $100 million worth of residential properties in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, as well as commercial property in Double Bay.
That year, the high-ranking executive fired a Spanish-style investment property in Bellevue Hill $9 million.
The five-bedroom home was listed at $8.5 million, but is believed to have sold ‘well above that’.
He bought the Bellevue Hill home from his wife, Nicole McWilliam, in 2007 for $4.72 million, and rented it out for $4,000 a week.
McWilliam lives in a property in Point Piper, close to his good friend and former business partner Malcolm Turnbull.
