Land title documents show the property is jointly owned by Mr McInnes and his partner, Lisa Kelly, and was bought for $9.25 million in May 2016.
The former David Jones boss last year negotiated an employment contract unlocking $12 million, which Solomon Lew’s Premier Investment said in an ASX statement would be used to build a new home on an address Mr McInnes bought.

Domain’s listing of the circa-1930s six-bedroom house at 32A Hopetoun Road shows the property is under offer.
Stonnington council’s planning register showed Mr McInnes did not lodge planning or building applications for the site.
Mr McInnes resigned from David Jones in 2010 amid sexual harassment claims, and moved to Melbourne after retail billionaire Solomon Lew made him chief executive.

Listing agent Marcus Chiminello, of Marshall White, declined to comment on any aspect of the sale.
Hopetoun Road is among Melbourne’s most expensive streets, and its properties are owned by some of Melbourne’s business elite, including former ANZ boss Mike Smith.
