What’s more, the family’s personal effects have been removed, and the six-bedroom residence has been recarpeted, painted, and the curved marble staircase polished.
The Mas have listed it with Ray White Kingsgrove agent George Boghos, who said the owners are in China now and do not want to talk about the sale. He added that he has had cash offers of $10 million and $11 million but will not set a guide until after this weekend’s first open inspection.

James Browning, founder of touring company and artist booking agency Niche Talent, is set to emerge as Marrickville’s $6 million record-setter in coming weeks.
Browning’s purchase of the 1894-built house with the Palm Springs-style rear extension, known as Roma, was sold by Cobden Hayson’s Alex Mastoris on behalf of Julian and Natalie Oliver, topping the suburb high by more than $1.1 million.

CobdenHayson’s Matt Hayson declined to reveal the exact sale result.
Good sports
As liquidators take control of the sports, games and furniture retailer T & R International directed by Rita Shanshan Han and headed up by Tony Hui Xiong, the couple’s grand resort-style mansion in Turramurra has come up for sale with a $10 million guide.
The seven-bedroom mansion gives no indication of the financial troubles of its owners. The 10,000-square-metre property is set behind a gated driveway and boasts park-sized gardens, as well as a championship-sized tennis court, swimming pool, fully equipped cabana with pizza oven, and garaging for 10 cars.

But on title the registered mortgage has been joined in recent months by four caveats from small business loans and finance providers.
The liquidators report more than $7.2 million is owed by the company to its creditors.
Since March, NSW Fair Trading has received almost 400 complaints related to false representations, unreasonable delays and partial deliveries, prompting the department to issue a public warning in September not to deal with the company.
Queensland’s Fair Trading received more than 50 complaints about the company, and followed with its own public warning.
The couple bought their Turramurra home in 2021 for $9,751,000, just two months after they purchased a $1,675,000 block of land in Wahroonga. Sotheby’s Wendy Xu has the listing.

Roycroft, who represented Australia at the Olympic Games in LA in 1984, in Seoul in 1988 and in Atlanta in 1996, has owned the property since 1981, paying $153,000 for the 16 hectares with then husband and fellow Olympian Wayne Roycroft.
At the time the Roycrofts were coming from across the road at Pokey Hill Stud, which was later renamed Strawberry Hill by ad man John Singleton and sold for more than $30 million last year to Coolmore Australia boss Tom Magnier.
