Triple-Listed Woollahra ‘Town Residence’ Wants $6m+

Margie Blok broke news of the listing of 3 Wellington Street in a super-prime Woollahra locale. Situated just a few doors down from Headingley - the previously featured mansion that mysteriously disappeared from the listings a few weeks back - the 5/6-bedroom, 5-bathroom home on 457sqm has not one, not two, but three listing agents: Sally Hampshire of Laing + Simmons, Bill Bridges of Ballard Property, and Martin Schiller of Savills Residential. WTF? As of today (the property appeared on the “live” listings about 12 hours ago), only Sally Hampshire’s listing is visible (seen here). To combat that surprise with a lack-of-surprise, Paul Bangay is behind the gardens. The clean lines of his hedges suit the Neo-Georgian architecture (that Margie Blok weirdly, and mistakenly, calls “South African Colonial”) home well. It was constructed in 1990 under the design of David Walker after the sale of a tear-down in 1987 for $677k. In 2000, the home sold for $4m and today, the listing agents (all three of them), are expecting above $6m for the home. Residences on the more-desirable south side of Wellington Street rarely trade. Next-door neighbours #1 and #5 sold for $2.49m in Sep 1997 and $2.25m in Aug 1995, respectively. 

The listing: 3 Wellington Street, Woollahra

Double Bay Waterfront for $10m

As Jonathan Chancellor broke on his Title Tattle blog, a $10m+ Double Bay waterfront emerged on the market earlier this week. The home is, indeed, radical (save for the frightening bathroom that marries the design sentiments of a 1990s Gold Coast luxury with a the materials found in a display home in Campbelltown). The home was designed by Gerry Rihs and last traded for $7m in 2007. The home is in a quiet position but may unfortunately may be a bit too close to the location of an exceptionally smelly sewer that has in the past depressed Double Bay waterfront prices. 

Jamie Upton of Savills has the listing. 30 Stafford Street, Double Bay
