96-104 Glenmore Rd, Paddington sold for $14m to the previous owners of the former Windsor Castle Hotel in Windsor St.
A couple who sold a former popular pub for a suburb record-breaking price have bought a well-known artist’s long-time home for $14m.
Former Goldman Sachs exec David Nolan and his wife, Anita, sold the ex Windsor Castle Hotel at 72 Windsor St, Paddington, now a luxury five-bedroom residence, for $26.85m last month via McGrath agents Luke Hogan and William Manning last month.
The result smashed the Paddington record by nearly $7m.
Now it’s emerged that the Nolans have bought the longtime home of the respected artist Mary Shakman at 96-104 Glenmore Rd, Paddington, for $14m.

The Glenmore Rd property was originally built in 1835.
It had been owned by well-known artist Mary Shakman since 1992.
Described as a five-bedroom historic 1835 gem with original features and copper roof, the property sold last Wednesday via Harriet France and Clint Ballard of Sotheby’s in conjunction with Alan Fettes and Ashley Bierman of Ray White Double Bay.
Records show that Shakman, once a textile designer with clients that included Carla Zampatti and Sportsgirl who became and award-winning painter, had bought the historic 1835 gem for $550k in 1992.
The Nolans are no doubt intending to renovate.
The Nolans sold 72 Windsor St, Paddington for $26.85m last month.
It was converted into a residence by Sydney studio X.PACE in 2012.
Their former Windsor St home had already been converted from the 1880s pub into a residence by Sydney studio X.PACE four years before their 2016 purchase for $11.85m, which had matched the suburb’s previous housing record.
But they did make further improvements.
The Glenmore Rd residence, built over three levels with an attic, four bathrooms and a three-car garage, is described as being “one of the original orchard houses”.
It also features a separate, street-facing building “for retail ventures”.
The property had also been on the market in January but it failed to sell.
