The beachfront house spans 500sq m across three levels and comes with a lift and multiple garages.

It was sold by veteran developer Kevin Seymour, who bought the house for $6 million in March, 2018, and later laid plans for a nine-level apartment building called Solace.

Mr Seymour earlier this year abandoned those plans and listed the house for sale, making a tidy $1.1 million profit when the Hunt company signed a contract for $7.1 million in January.

The sale settled last month.
