Possible Vaucluse church conversion comes with $11m price tag
Brent Lobel, director at Spacers Australia, is seeking to flip the former Anglican church in Vaucluse.
Built in the mid-1960s to an adventurous design by Don Gazzard, it traded at $6m last August, having been been listed through Ray White TRG with $10m hopes when offered by local brothers John and Phillip Townsend.
The property, at 32B Fitzwilliam Rd, Vaucluse now comes with approved residential conversion plans, and new listing agents in Alan Fettes and Elliott Placks from Ray White Double Bay with $11m hopes.

The brothers had paid $5.8m in late 2018 for the whitewashed brick church, designed to seat 350 people, but it was decommissioned after weekly attendances dropped to just 13.
The church features loft interiors with ceiling heights up to 12m. The 1975 sqm Fitzwilliam Rd holding was sold by the church for $5.6m in 2017 to funeral parlour operator David Walker.
The ecclesiastical example of the 1960s Sydney School style of architecture was once described by Gazzard, who died in 2017, as “my most important building”.
