Daughter of billionaire Computershare founder Chris Morris, Hayley, is selling the waterfront pad she and husband Andrew bought less than two years ago.
The seven-bedroom abode at 367 Beaconsfield Parade has been home to a litany of prominent Victorians, now listed with a $14m-$15m price tag.

Ms Morris is the co-founder of the not-for-profit Sustainable Table, an organisation centred around regenerative food and farming, and executive director of the family office, the Morris Group.
She also founded the software business Impact Sustainability and the strategic sustainability consultancy Rewild Agency as well as leads the Morris Family Foundation.
The duo purchased the five-storey home from Australian Community Media executive chairman and former Domain boss Antony Catalano at the end of 2022 for $15.5m.
And Mr Catalano snapped up the digs from one of Melbourne’s most prominent filmmakers, chief executive of Generation Films Bob Weis, who produced the television drama Women of the Sun in 1990 for a third of the price in November 2011.
Sitting on a whopping 800 sqm, the grand Victorian terrace was built in the 1880s and renovated by architect Stephen Akehurst.
A large home theatre, gym, infrared sauna and a significant laundry with a drying room are all included across the multi-level property.
Consistent features throughout the abode are its soaring ceilings and marble open fireplaces as well as its exterior colonnades and balconies, reminiscent of the 1880s Boom-style architecture.
RT Edgar Toorak director Sarah Case is handling the listing and said the property was beautiful and steeped in history with a great floorplan.
She said one of the major draw cards was the spacious layout, including a self-contained apartment on the bottom floor, which could be used as an office or for elderly parents, even a live-in nanny.
“And the rooftop is just incredible (with) views to the bay and views to the city. The lift goes all the way to the top,” she said.
“It’s been renovated to the highest standard; it’s just one of those really different houses but it can work for a lot of families.”
The property’s next inspection is at 2pm on Saturday, 27 April.
