Melbourne cleaning magnate George Stamas and his wife, Jaqui Maree, have been identified as the mysterious buyers behind Australia’s priciest one-bedroom apartment, forking out $11 million for a unit with stunning ocean views over Bondi Beach.
As the owner and director of GJK Facility Services, Mr Stamas and his wife made the $11 million purchase after noticing the “for sale” sign on the luxurious apartment post-lunch at the renowned Icebergs dining venue, conveniently located across the street on Notts Avenue.
According to selling agent Alexander Phillips, who managed the sale alongside Vince Licata of PPD, the Melbourne-based couple made a swift purchasing decision. The striking Notts Avenue property features an integrated living, dining, and kitchen area that opens onto a terrace with breathtaking views of Bondi’s iconic golden sands.
The apartment includes a bedroom with an en suite bathroom and an additional powder room to complete the floorplan.
The residence captures the essence of beachfront living in every detail.
“Marvel at the inspiring, unobstructed vistas of one of the globe’s most stunning beaches from this north-facing apartment, offering prime views of the beach’s activities and the mesmerizing ocean spectacle,” the listing describes.
Reconfigured from a two-bedroom apartment to create a luxuriously oversized entertainer, the 115sqm approx apartment brings a taste of Santorini with views that are unmistakably Bondi. Wake up to epic sunrises, watch whales migrate or simply keep an eye on the surf from the comfort of home or step outside and immerse yourself in Bondi’s endless summer lifestyle with an iceberg pool and Dining Room at the doorstep.
