Vaucluse home comes with professional squash court in the back yard
Homes with pools and views are common in Sydney, but not many come with a professional squash court.
This six-bedroom, five-bathroom residence with double garage at 91 Kings Road, Vaucluse, up for auction on March 22, has this rare feature in a separate building beyond the pool at the rear of the yard.
Laing and Simmons Double Bay principal Steven Zoellner has an $8.5m price guide for the stunning home on a 768sqm block. He had 23 groups through Saturday’s first open and issued three contracts.

It’s not known why in, years past, a homeowner wanted to install the court in their back yard.
It looks to have been there well before current owner, property developer Sergei Golubeva and his wife Anna, bought it for $5.3m in 2005 — even before previous owner Jillian Levy commissioned the Sorin Dascalu-designed massive renovation.
The residence has a sunny north aspect and panoramic 270 degree harbour views, from the Harbour Bridge to Mosman, Watsons Bay, Manly and The Heads. Sundecks surround the pool, along with tranquil gardens and water features.

The house has been master-built with full-brick construction, top finishes, smart technology and ducted zoned airconditioning.
It offers multiple living areas, a home cinema, study, and a Gaggenau gas kitchen with a butler’s pantry and cool room.
Along with the squash court, there’s even a sauna.
The master suite has two ensuites, and dual dressing zones.
The property offers ample room for teenagers, kids who won’t leave home, guests, granny or Airbnb in the self-contained studio.
As Zoellner says: “This is a magnificent home with plenty of space for family living.”
