Converted Sydney mansion achieves highest weekend auction sale in Australia

A European-inspired conversion in an exclusive inner-Sydney suburb has fetched $14 million, breaking records in what was a bumper auction weekend.

"Brompton" in trendy Paddington, part of the city's eastern suburbs, was created by joining two terraces built dating from 1877 to achieve a rare 16 metre-wide, double-fronted home.

Sitting on a 404 sqm block of land, the property was inspired by high-end European architecture, typically found in North London or New York's SoHo.

Fittings have been sourced from across the globe and include oak floors and French wallpaper.

The property also has as a cocktail room, renovated sandstone cellar, roof terrace and courtyard as well as a heated spa/pool.

The new owners will find "Brompton" only a short walk from the trendy coffee and cocktail strip of Five Ways in Paddington.

The median price for a three-bedroom home in Paddington is $3.125 million, according to Domain.
