The family behind a large nuts and bolts wholesaler has gone on an eastern suburbs buying spree, splashing $76m on three Sydney mansions.
The latest purchase was by Luke Hawksford, co-CEO at Bremick Fasteners, who sources have revealed bought a five-bedroom mansion at 35-37 Fairweather St, Bellevue Hill for $21m.
That property, which featured as the Wentworth Courier House of the Week, sold a week ago after just 11 days on the market with Ray White Double Bay principal Elliott Placks, who had a $20m price guide for a scheduled February 28 auction.
It was owned by dentist to the stars, Gamer Verdian, and his wife Rosanne, also a dentist, who’d paid $8,128,000 for it in 2018.

Placks has remained tight-lipped about his purchaser all week, though the sale has been the talk of the eastern suburbs and other sources spilled the beans that Luke Hawksford was the purchaser.

The Fairweather St property is just a three-minute drive away from the Ginaghulla Rd, Bellevue Hill mansion bought for $35m in December by Luke’s father, Michael Hawksford, who founded Bremick Fasteners nearly 60 years ago, and his wife, Christine.
That was the grand estate of mechanic Steven Davidson and his wife, Carmen, that sold via Laing and Simmons’ principal D’Leanne Lewis and Raine and Horne’s James Nixon.
And it’s now also come to light that the Hawksfords have made another recent mega purchase — for $20m — in Rupertswood Ave — a few doors along from the mansion Barford that’s worth well over $100m.
The Hawksfords snapped up a nearby older-style double-storey red-brick home on a 720sqm block, bought for $106,500 by economist Rowan Yee in 1966.
Several sources have revealed that the agent behind that sale just before Christmas was Biller principal Paul Biller and his colleague Ben Torban.
That’s also just a three-minute drive from Ginahgulla Rd.
The buyer’s agent for all three purchases is known to be Simon Cohen of Cohen Handler, who couldn’t be contacted on Friday night.
