Goldman Sachs exec asks $22m for Melbourne trophy home with two pools

Goldman Sachs executive Nick Sims and his wife Georgina Sims have listed their bayside Melbourne megamansion for a hefty sum. 

The imposing 1980s white house in Brighton was built nearly 40 years ago by the high-profile developer Max Beck, who likened its design to “Fort Knox”, according to the Australian Financial Review. 

The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home is crammed full of luxury features. 

There are two swimming pools – an outdoor pool and spa in a sunny courtyard and an indoor lap pool.

$20,000,000 - $22,000,000

Other wellness offerings include a home gym, steam room, sauna and tennis court. 

A home cinema and eight-car garage are hidden in the basement, plus a wine cellar with space for 1200 bottles. 

The three-storey mansion is across the road from Brighton Beach’s iconic bathing boxes. 

Large west-facing windows make the most of the views over Port Phillip Bay.

The property is on the market with Buxton Brighton’s Victoria Gregory, Stefan Whiting and Gary Yue, and Forbes Global Properties’ Robert Fletcher and Tracy Tian Belcher. 

The listing notes there is scope to redevelop the property, subject to council approval. 

“Nothing about 2 Kinane Street is shiny and new. And that’s what makes it special,” the listing reads. 

“It is a home with [a] fascinating past, and because of the quality of its bones, its land and its location, it has all the requirements to craft a fascinating future, including the available developed designs (STCA) by John Matyas of Matyas Architects.” 

The Sims are selling the property at 2 Kinane Street, Brighton with a price guide of $20 million to $22 million. 

Nick is Global Partner of Goldman Sachs and co-head of Investment Banking in Australia. He is also a director of the Collingwood Football Club.

The home is for sale via an expressions of interest campaign. Offers close on 2 December.
