Sold on behalf of owner Paul Kearney, head of Autopak-Vetlab, it went for more than $7m. Nine registered bidders vied for the property before it eventually sold to top bidder Joe Elias.
The property includes 1,200 square metres of deep waterfront access with a private jetty and pontoon. The house itself has six bedrooms, rumpus and billiard rooms, a study, an indoor heated swimming pool and formal landscaped gardens.
The $7,095,000 price tag overtook the house next door, which had held the record since 2008 at $6.1m.
The auction was held by McGrath Hunters Hill, with Signs outside the house likely advertising the event.
This comes just two months after Gladesville's new town centre was reported as being likely to attract more house hunters in the near future. Plans for the town centre shopping mall, which fronts Victoria Road, are currently under consideration by local council and state government.
Nicholas McEvoy of BresicWhitney real estate agency said:
"People want that kind of lifestyle, so when the new town centre is complete Gladesville is going to be an even better lifestyle option."
House prices in this area have been climbing over the last few years. Last year saw a 25.8% increase to a medium of $1,698,000, making it the second biggest jump in price in the northern district.
