Kew: Olympic champ Alisa Camplin-Warner and husband Oliver Camplin-Warner sell historic house
Olympic aerial-skiing gold medallist Alisa Camplin-Warner and her husband, Telstra group executive Oliver Camplin-Warner, have sold their historic Kew house.
The sports champion and business bigwig listed their circa-1886 home for sale with a $6m-$6.6m asking range, in March.
The 1201sq m property featuring a heated in-ground pool and half-basketball court recently sold for an undisclosed sum.
Ms Camplin-Warner won gold at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, USA, plus a bronze medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Italy.
She will serve as the Australian Olympic team's chef de mission at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy.
Before joining Telstra, Mr Camplin-Warner spent 11 years at IBM in London.
Records show that the couple bought their Victorian-era, five-bedroom house for $4.202m in 2015, however Marshall White Boroondara director Chris Barrett declined to comment on its latest sale price.
The residence was originally built by the Melbourne-based architectural firm Reed Henderson & Smart, which under its previous name Reed & Barnes was responsible for iconic buildings including the Melbourne Town Hall, Rippon Lea in Elsternwick, Scots' Church in Melbourne and the Melbourne International Exhibition Building.
The practice has been known as Bates Smart since 1995.
Period features throughout the Kew abode include timber fretwork, iron lacework on the verandas, stained glass windows, marble fireplaces, arched hallways and ceiling roses.
There's also a formal living room and combined lounge and music room, that both open to a veranda.
Upstairs is home to the five bedrooms including the main bedroom with a with a dressing room, a family bathroom and a study nook and storage space.
The address is part of a Boroondara Council heritage overlay area that is 'one of Melbourne's best concentrations of large late Victorian and Federation house designs', according to the Victorian Heritage Database.
