RT Edgar's Chelsie Cargill said that Mr Taylor had lived at the 170sq m abode with his family and their pet dog Alby, who features in some of the listing photos.
'This is a hard-to-find, house-size apartment that truly stands out for its amazing size and space – a rare gem in today's market,' Ms Cargill said.
Since buying the residence, the Taylors have extensively renovated it.
'The wow factor is in the open-plan living and kitchen area,' Ms Cargill said.
'They gutted the apartment and put in a new kitchen, bathrooms and laundry.'

In the kitchen there's a 90cm induction cooktop and oven, dishwasher, large engineered stone benchtops and filtered water tap.
Views of Albert Park Lake and Melbourne CBD's skyline can be enjoyed from the kitchen's central bench.
A tiled outdoor entertaining terrace looks over nearby treetops while guests can also take advantage of a powder room separate to the main bathroom.
The apartment has two bathrooms and a separate powder room.
The main bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while other highlights include a study, double-glazed bedroom windows, ducted heating and cooling, intercom entry, basement parking and access to the complex's communal pool.
Ms Cargill said she expected interested buyers to include families wanting the convenience of a location close to the city, restaurants, Albert Park Golf Course and Chapel St.
'It may be someone interstate who wants a place in Melbourne for when they travel, obviously you would have first-class seats to watch the Grand Prix from the home,' she said.
The residence will be auctioned at 10am on May 31.

Government relying on Latham for workers' compensation reforms
Maverick MP Mark Latham has indicated he is open to supporting the government's workers' compensation reforms, but only with a raft of amendments, while the Coalition hopes it can roll back a tightening of criteria for long-term payouts. The public accountability and works committee received a confidential briefing from Treasurer Daniel Mookhey and bureaucrats on Thursday, aiming to allay concerns about the drivers of Labor's plan to curtail access to compensation for psychological injuries. Two years after Premier Chris Minns refused to work with Latham, the dynamics of the seven-person committee have left the rogue MP with the casting vote on whether the legislation will return for a vote during budget week, in late June, or whether the inquiry continues indefinitely. After the government's reforms were referred for a second interrogation by a parliamentary inquiry, their fate hinged in part on Thursday's briefing. Mookhey has said that without reform the system will collapse while rising premiums push businesses under. But the Coalition, Greens and upper house independents have questioned government efforts to jam the legislation through parliament, particularly given a key plank of the reforms would cut off compensation for some of the state's sickest workers. Loading The second inquiry was established to allow crossbenchers to interrogate assumptions underpinning Mookhey's reforms. A public hearing will take place on Tuesday, a month after a snap inquiry heard only 27 of the hundreds of employees impaired by workplace psychological injury each year would be eligible to claim long-term benefits under the minimum 31 per cent Whole of Person Impairment (WPI) rating proposed by the government. Describing Thursday's briefing as 'fairly useful', Latham said some aspects of the workers' compensation reforms introduced by the Victorian Labor government in March 2024 were superior as they dealt with the long-term structural problem of nebulous claims, where the link between injury and a claimant's work is unclear. While he would prefer the bill to be voted on by June's end, Latham said he would not rubber stamp the legislation, seeking to amend it to include the 'best of the Victorian reforms', including tightening definitions around bullying and harassment to restrict claims.

Village with a difference: Australian ski resort that's not like the rest
Between them, the alpine villages of Hotham and Dinner Plain have about 7000 beds; Dinner Plain accounts for 1900 of them. Going back almost a decade, alongside the ski clubs, another club – similar in concept but broader in purpose – arrived in the Dinner Plain village. Club Wyndham South Pacific resumed a trend of timeshare accommodation, popular in the 1980s, but faded somewhat since. And it includes Dinner Plain as one of its 63 club destinations. In 2016, Wyndham bought a Dinner Plain commercial outlet that featured accommodation, a bar and a restaurant, then known as Rundles, now called Elements. Along with that complex, Wyndham bought numerous chalets and apartments throughout the village to make them available to their many members. One key advantage of their presence is that it is there year-round. Alpine villages can become ghost towns outside winter and holiday periods, but Wyndham operates the restaurant and bar all year, adding to the life and energy of the village. So outside winter, the fishers, walkers, cyclists and mountain bikers all have somewhere to go. But winter remains the main attraction, with Hotham's snowfields the magnet. As you get closer on the drive from Dinner Plain, the ridges and gullies of Hotham emerge, folding together like interlocking fingers, open slopes or treed trails among them, sprinkled with skiers and snowboarders making their way up and down again. 'At Hotham, we don't really have an uphill problem, we have a downhill problem,' says the lift company general manager, Tina Burford. By this, she means they have the capacity they need to get skiers to the top of the runs, but they have some problems with congestion as they go down. This is especially true off the Heavenly Valley chairlift. At the top, there are vast terrain choices, but towards the bottom, skiers and boarders stream into an area called Slalom Gully like creeks into a fast-flowing river. Their strategy to deal with this is to make more terrain available by improving summer slope grooming and winter snowmaking – the former to make more terrain skiable with less snow cover; the latter to help provide that snow cover. And that will simply build on the appeal for Dinner Plain. The details Loading Stay Club Wyndham South Pacific membership packages from $22,899. Members then receive vacation credits annually. A two-bedroom apartment or chalet at Dinner Plain might cost a member 22,300 vacation credits for a week's stay. In 2025, the annual levy on those credits is $2176. Off the shelf from a commercial provider, a seven-night stay in a two-bedroom apartment for a family of four in the Victorian snow season could cost $3300 to $10,000. Club members have scope to use their membership at 63 club destinations worldwide. Properties are available to non-members (as part of a program encouraging them to join). See
