Industry sources say the unidentified purchaser has paid about $15 million, which would make it one of the priciest homes to sell in Melbourne in 2013. Title records show Mr Dumenil bought and demolished the previous house on the property for $2.18 million in 2001. Earlier this year, property developer Gabor Hubay and wife Roni sold their sprawling Macquarie Road, Toorak estate for a price believed to be close to $16 million.
