Manly Sea Eagles co-owner sells stylish Bellevue Hill home circa $17m
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom home has had a beautiful Arent& Pyke -redesign since the couple purchased the home, under Michele's name, in 1997 for $1,575,000. The property has increased $551,000 every year since.
With iconic city views, a marble kitchen and butler's pantry and multiple living spaces, the home last had a price guide of $16.5 million to $17.5 million before it sold via private treaty, and local sources said it sold within the guide.
Michael, who bought a stake in the NRL club 10 years ago and remains a director, is also a long-standing director of Apparel Group that owns brands such as Sportscraft, SABA and Jag.
The home sold through Randall Kemp of Ray White The Woollahra Group, who declined to comment when contacted.

Revealed: The huge cash windfall NRL is set to reap from Bulldogs top-two finish
The NRL has 4 million reasons to hope the Bulldogs secure a top-two finish and host a qualifying final and potential semi-final or preliminary final in September. That is the staggering amount of money the game's governing body could miss out on if Canberra and Melbourne remain first and second on the ladder. When it comes to the finals, the NRL – not the clubs – collects the gate takings and money earned from hospitality. Clubs receive a small percentage from finals fixtures, but the main advantage is merchandise sales and the chance to play a big game in front of their own fans. Canberra's GIO Stadium holds a maximum 26,000 fans, while Melbourne's AAMI Park can accommodate 29,500. The Bulldogs, however, are averaging more than 35,000 for home games this season and would likely attract 60,000 to 70,000 supporters should they finish in the top two and host a qualifying final at Accor Stadium. The Bulldogs broke the regular-season record when 65,305 fans watched the 32-0 Good Friday win over South Sydney, before 59,878 took in their King's Birthday weekend win over Parramatta. Based on the $50 average cost of a finals ticket, the difference of 40,000 fans is worth $2 million to the NRL for one final match, and $4 million for two. Bulldogs chief executive Aaron Warburton was certainly prepared to dream big.

Brisbane News Live: Tributes flow for Gold Coast developer after death at 39; Giant Qld stick insect ‘Australia's heaviest'
Latest posts Latest posts 7.03am Tributes for 'pioneer' Gold Coast property developer after sudden death at 39 Gold Coast property developer Tye Alroe has died suddenly at the age of 39. The founder and chief executive of Alroe Constructions suffered a heart attack while exercising at a Burleigh Heads gym on Tuesday afternoon. He collapsed after feeling unwell, and emergency service workers were unable to revive him. Alroe initially embarked on a career in rugby league, being contracted by NRL side Melbourne Storm, but he left before making his debut and entered the construction industry instead. In 2012, he founded Alroe, which currently has $250 million worth of projects under way or in planning, according to its website. Several figures within the Gold Coast construction industry paid tribute to him after his sudden death. 'The loss of a pioneer, someone that never quits, never takes no as an answer! You will never be forgotten,' says an Instagram post from Capra Build Co. 'Unfortunately, we have lost one of the better people in this world,' begins an Instagram post by Callum Smith of Bluewater Interiors. 'I'm sure you will be missed by many. You have made a positive impact on so many people and will no doubt be remembered.' Alroe is survived by his partner, Nikki, daughter Poppy, his mum and dad, Vicki and John, and his sister, Courtney. 7.02am While you were sleeping Here's what's making news further afield this morning: The nation's top spy boss has revealed espionage is costing Australia an estimated $12.5 billion a year as foreign operatives mount increasingly audacious attempts to pilfer highly sensitive defence and business secrets. Median house values across the country are gaining pace, with Brisbane now at $1.019 million. A monster lightning strike that spanned the equivalent distance of Sydney to Melbourne has been confirmed as the largest flash on record. Company tax could be slashed to 20 per cent for firms with revenue below $1 billion, but businesses would be hit with a world-first 'cashflow tax' to encourage them to invest in Australia. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's allies are scrambling to put a lid on an anti-AUKUS grassroots Labor move that threatens to complicate a US probe into the submarine pact. If you have brittle nails, swollen hands or unusually pale fingertips, it could be a telltale sign of a more serious problem. This is what your hands can tell you about your health. And in sport, Mollie O'Callaghan has equalled Ian Thorpe for the most world championship gold medals by an Australian swimmer after anchoring the Dolphins to a stirring relay victory over the US in the 4x200m freestyle final overnight.
