A stunning Sydney apartment that was once the home of Kylie Minogue and late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence is for sale. Kylie, 55, and Michael lived together in a luxurious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the late ’80s and early ’90s.
It was completed in 1984 and was one of the first high-rise stratified buildings in Sydney.
The apartment’s current owners, Gavin Holland and Kelly McNamara, speculated that the property would have hosted some lively parties.

‘Anyway, it was a glorious time. “I loved it,” Kylie added.
