Sandra Powell and Andrew King are selling their Victorian mansion located at 3 Crimea Street, St Kilda, for $7 million, which includes seven murals by prominent street artists such as Rone, Adnate, and Kid Zoom. The couple, who have lived in the property since 1988, are open to the new owner painting over the murals, emphasizing that the house will belong to them. The property is listed for expressions of interest ranging from $6.5 million to $7.1 million. However, they have reduced the number of displayed artworks from their extensive collection of 3000 pieces based on feedback that the house felt too much like a gallery. Real estate experts caution that the unique artistic features may limit the potential buyer pool to those who appreciate street art. The couple plans to downsize to a penthouse in Fitzroy, expressing a desire to secure backing for a permanent exhibition space for their collection in Melbourne, aiming to establish the city as the street art capital of the world. Notably, they will retain a section of the ceiling in the stables, which features the tags of artists they have supported.
