Multimillion-dollar mansion sells amid ‘unusual’ sales surge Art deco magic with a modern twist 84 Markwell Street, Hamilton, is for sale, with the auction set for The Calile at 6pm on May 28 unless sold prior.One of our most graceful Georgian homes — built for a celebrated engineer whose work transformed the shallow Brisbane river into a usable channel — is set to go under the hammer.Called Cullen, the home was built for engineer Sir Edward Cullen whom history remembers as the man whose “continuing work on the river made Brisbane one of the few successful river ports of the era”.Brisbane-born in 1861, he designed a river control system to reduce the “futility of only dredging” and was behind the creation of Hamilton port itself after obtaining permission for a reclamation program. The home belongs to the Emanuels who are only the third family to ever own it. The home has had sympathetic upgrades.His Hamilton mansion was built on the hill at 84 Markwell Street in 1936, designed by prominent architect Mervyn Rylance, and created quite a stir, making front page news when it built, according to agents Ray White New Farm.Agent Christine Rudolph said the five bedroom home was impeccably maintained and had sympathetic upgrades over the years.“Elevated and private with river views from its prestigious cul-de-sac position, this generously proportioned estate includes lush landscaped gardens enclosing a swimming pool and charming gazebo.” FOLLOW SOPHIE FOSTER ON FACEBOOK MORE REAL ESTATE NEWS The property is landscaped, with a gazebo and a pool. This kitchen would suit the way modern families live.“The original architect Merv Rylance, was famous in the 1920s for designing a great number of the prominent homes in Toorak, Woollahra, Vaucluse and Bellevue Hill.”“It was one of the original and still standing homes built on Hamilton Hill for Sir Edward Cullen in 1936, who built Hamilton Port and the Port of Brisbane.”The Emanuels bought the home off the Malouf family which owns the largest chain of privately-owned pharmacies in Australia. The Maloufs had expanded the internal floor plan to more than 500sq m and were only the second ever owners in the home’s history. Historic rate cut coming: Experts Cullen chose to build in the hills of Hamilton overlooking the river. The home is on a 979sq m block.The property, which has polished jarrah floors, high ceilings, ornate cornices and a granite fireplace, goes to auction on May 28 at the Calile Hotel in New Farm — unless sold prior.The current owners are Craig Emanuel — an executive director of New York-based investment bank Morgan Stanley, and his wife Samantha — founder of successful Ascot ladies boutique Milo and Macy Shoes.“There are so many unique features we love about our home.

Swansea boss Michael Laudrup has told Arsenal even a “ridiculous” offer would not be enough to prise Michu away from the Liberty Stadium. “He is not only a goalscorer who is up there, waiting. When he plays in midfield he is working very hard and physically he has a presence and fills a lot of space as well. “I see him more as an offensive midfielder. He can come in from that second line where he is so gifted. “Of his 22 goals last season, I think 20 of his goals were first touch which shows how effective he is.” Press Association The Gunners have so far been frustrated in their efforts to bring in Luis Suarez from Liverpool and are reportedly considering alternatives as Arsene Wenger looks to bolster his forward options. Michu is thought to be one of those alternatives after the 27-year-old Spaniard enjoyed a stunning first season in English football with the Swans, scoring 22 goals after his £2.2million move from Rayo Vallecano. Michu signed a four-year contract with the Swans in January, and Laudrup has previously stated he values the forward at at least £30million. And the Dane has told Arsenal there is no way Swansea will sell a key player when they would themselves to left with so little time to replace him. “I think economically the club is very good,” said Laudrup. “I know if they (Arsenal) came in with a very late bid, I know that the reaction from the board and chairman will be ‘No’, even if the money is ridiculous, as we will not have time enough to find a replacement who is near enough to the same standard. “You can say we would get a lot of money but why be the richest club in the championship? What is that worth? “I spoke to Michu last year and he extended his contract and asked me about mine and I said ‘I am going to stay here’, and he said, ‘So am I’.” Laudrup has looked to ease the burden on Michu this season with the signing of Wilfried Bony for a club-record fee of £12million from Vitesse Arnhem. Bony’s arrival has allowed Michu to move back into his preferred attacking midfield role, and Laudrup expects him to weigh in with another healthy goalscoring tally this season. He said: “Michu is an offensive midfielder who can play centre forward but he will be a goalscorer wherever he plays. read more

highlights Beijing: India drew blank on the final day but still topped the chart for the second consecutive ISSF World Cup, the third time in two years, by bagging three gold and a silver at the Beijing edition of the Rifle/Pistol in Beijing. India topped the medals tally ahead of hosts China (2 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze), who won five medals in total. In the last edition in New Delhi, India had jointly topped the standings with Hungary. For India, while Anjum Moudgil and young Divyansh Singh Panwar started the medal hunt with a gold in the 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team competition, the teenaged pair of Manu Bhaker and Saurabh Chaudhary backed them up with another yellow metal in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team Pistol event.     Divyansh then won India’s first individual medal by clinching a silver in the men’s 10m Air Rifle. On Saturday, Abhishek Verma won India’s third gold in men’s 10m Air Pistol event.      The concluding day of the ISSF World Cup Rifle/Pistol Beijing 2019 edition, however, belonged to two women legends of the sport, two-time former Olympic champion Maria Grozdeva of Bulgaria and Croatian Rifle legend Snjezana Pejcic, who won the two scheduled finals of the day, the 25m Pistol and the 50m Rifle 3 Positions (3P).RELATED     In the first final on Sunday, the 46-year old Maria, champion in the 25m Pistol at the Sydney 2000 and Beijing 2004 Olympics, shot 36 in the final to beat a couple of young rising stars — world number one Anna Korakaki of Greece and Veronika Major of Hungary, who was fresh from a double gold in the New Delhi World Cup.      The Hungarian settled for silver while Anna was pushed to the bronze medal position.      Maria along with Monika Karsch of Germany, who finished fourth, bagged the two Tokyo 2020 quota places up for grabs in the event.
