Lowes heir Josh Penn and his husband Ben Palmer have sold their Wyuna Rd, Point Piper mansion for $23.5m.

The couple, with son Brooklyn, 6, and daughter Blake, 4, are now understood to be focusing on renovating the Penn family’s palace at Cap ‘d’ail in the south of France, where they’re intending on spending some time next year.

And they’re also now debating whether to move to their former Double Bay home, now rebuilt, or to another eastern suburbs mansion they’ve apparently purchased, that’s “quite substantial”.

Penn and Palmer are listed as co-owners on the land title for Capri, the Edwardian residence at 4 Wyuna Rd bought for $16m in 2021, alongside Penn’s parents David and Linda Penn who have 70 per cent ownership.

But it’s now sold via Monika Tu and Jad Khattar of Black Diamonz, with Tom Penfold of Cohen Handler known to have introduced the buyer.

There’d initially been hopes of $28m.

Penn and Palmer had been living in Capri during the three-year rebuild of their own home at 7 Carlotta Rd, Double Bay, bought for $6.7m in 2020, which is apparently “incredible” and nearly ready to move into.

No clue yet as to the location of this other “quite substantial” property, which is yet to settle.

The Wyuna Rd residence was previously owned by nursing-home scion Mark Moran and his interior decorator wife Evette.

The historic home on a 723sqm block had harbour views, an internal lift, multiple balconies, manicured grounds and a pool.

Penn and Palmer had initially intended to do major renovations, but ended up doing just landscaping the garden and adding lighting.

Their good taste in furniture helped give the home extra zing.

Josh Penn and mother Linda, the highly regarded philanthropist and CEO of Lowes Menswear that’s worth $800m, recently raised a whopping $84.3m at the recent Gold Dinner for the Sydney Children’s Hospital foundation.
