Buyer of Crathe House Mansion Revealed

The woman who bought the Crathre House mansion in East Melbourne has been revealed as the same buyer who famously sold her Toorak house to a neighbour for almost $7 million, so that he can demolish it and erect a tennis court.

The 12 Maple Grove home of understated millionaire Jane Elizabeth Hiscock made headlines last month when it sold for $6.7 million to neighbour Anthony Lennon, executive director at Peet Ltd property developers.

Lennon, who only weeks earlier paid $9.11 million for 14 Maple Grove next door, is expected to demolish Hiscock’s relatively smaller 5-bedroom family home – so that he can add an extra 848 square metres, and a tennis court to his sprawling blue-ribbon estate.

Last week, Secret Agent revealed Ms Hiscock was the mystery buyer to fork of Crathre House at 118 Gipps Street in East Melbourne, in a deal worth an estimated $10 million.

Crathre House was sold by Good Guys boss Andrew Muir, who in May famously offered disgraced businessman Steve Vizard $17.5 million for his Orrong Road home, reportedly because he admired it from afar.
