Completed in 1984, it was one of the first high-rise buildings in Sydney.

The apartment's current owners, Gavin Holland and Kelly McNamara, speculated that the property would have played host to a number of lively parties.

'I know there was a lot of socializing going on at that time, for lack of a better word. Suicides, murders, famous and infamous people have happened in this building – all sorts of things,” Holland told Newscorp.

Kylie and Michael dated for two years, from 1989 to 1991, and remained close friends until his death in 1997.

Michael committed suicide in a Sydney hotel room at the age of 37.

In 2015, Kylie discussed their relationship during an interview on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.

“He was a wild guy, he was the rocker, he was all that. But I always try to say: he was Byron-esque, he was poetic, he was cultured, hilarious and tender,” the pop star reflected.

“I think I was at the perfect age, I was 21 years old, to get the butterfly wings and go out into the world, and we collided at that moment and I think he just accelerated some of it. '

“It was a glorious time anyway. I loved it,” Kylie added.

The 'love nest' that the Australian music couple lived in during their time together will be auctioned on February 28.

According to PropTrack, the average apartment price for Sydney CBD is $1.13 million, reflecting a decline of 2.5 per cent over the past year.
