Travers, who is building a new home in South Yarra, filled the Toorak home with her cool contemporary art collection.

The four bedroom Nic Bochsler-designed home with a ground floor study, home theatre and gym, had a guide of $6.85 million to $7.2 million guide.

It featured an extensive use of glass, as well as a terrace with a reflection pond in the private 510 square metre gardens.

The former Coogee home of model Jennifer Hawkins and her then builder fiance Jake Wall was pulled from its weekend's scheduled auction.

It now comes with guidance of $3.2 million to $3.5 million.

Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agents Alexander Phillips and David Tyrell are marketing the home having initially sought $3.5 million when first listed, and then adjusting its buyers guide to $3.2 million. 

It is the home which Hawkins had difficulty selling seven years ago.

It was finally sold for $2.22 million in 2012 when the couple headed off to Sydney's northern beaches.

Hawkin noted after it took six months to sell in 2012 that "Wow.... the property market in Sydney is tough".

The Moore Street home, part of a duplex near Gordon's Bay, spans 240 square metres over its four levels.

It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an open plan kitchen, living and dining area that flows to the rear alfresco deck which has been reduced in size to allow more exposed pool.

The Coogee property was a bit of a baptism of fire in the world of property for Hawkins and Wall, who in recent times have made handsome profits from their property dealings.

They made a small loss on the 2002-built property following her four year ownership, buying for $2.27 million in 2008 and then selling in 2012, just before prices began to soar across in Sydney over the next five years.

The now Melbourne-based chef Martin Benn and partner, Sepia’s front of house manager Vicki Wild (right), have now been revealed as set to open an upmarket eatery at QIC's Collins Street development.

The premises will be at 80 Collins Street.

The 47-storey tower on the corner of Collins and Exhibition streets will house international luxury, beauty and lifestyle brands as well as commercial offices.

The planned restaurant, spanning multiple levels and with eight-metre ceilings, will sit atop the retail precinct with outdoor terraces.

It was late last year when Property Observer reported they had secured tenants for their ­vacated Sydney home.

The Gladesville home had a rental asking price of $1750 a week.

The couple bought the 1900s renovated brick cottage in 2015 for $2.5 million upgrading from their Rozelle apartment which sold for $1.06 million.

Set on 685sqm, the Gladesville home has five bedrooms and a solar-heated pool.

The couple are heading south after veteran restaurateur Chris Lucas, owner of the Chin Chin chain, convinced them to come to Melbourne where they will establish a fine-dining restaurant, due to open in 2020.

Their three-hat restaurant Sepia in the Sydney CBD had been operating since 2009 until its late 2018 closure.

The most famous restaurant couple in Australia have only ever worked and lived together, excepting for one short stint in Hong Kong.

Last year Lucas, the king of Melbourne casual dining, bought a $3.4 million bolthole in Potts Point ahead of the opening of the Chin Chin restaurant on the ground floor of the Griffiths Teas Building on Wentworth Ave, Surry Hills.

At Thursday's restaurant launch, Melbourne's struggling Lord Mayor Sally Capp praised the venture saying it was a "coup" to have lured Benn and Wild from Sydney.

Krissy Marsh, the property princess from the dormant Foxtel show The Real Housewives of Sydney, has now listed her Double Bay investment apartment for auction.

Rather than offering the apartment with $5 million hopes, it comes instead with $4.2 million to $4.6 million price indications ahead of the March 28 auction.

Marsh paid $3.5 million in 2015, when the family were based in Shanghai.

Raine & Horne Double Bay agent Ric Serrao and Alex Lyons are marketing the home as one of Double Bay's finest apartments.

Marsh resided in the plush three bedroom apartment during the first and only season of the show, but these days calls Dover Heights home.

Her redundant Bay Street, Double Bay apartment in the Kann Finch-designed Bay Residences complex has been leased in recent times.

It was listed last December with a $2,850 a week tenant, who had the lease until May.

There's a combined formal lounge and dining area, as well as a separate media room.

All three of its bedrooms open to balconies. There is a full width terrace flows from the open plan living area.

The highest Double Bay apartment sale last year was away from the shopping village where philanthropic Kiwi businessman Sir Owen Glenn took $9 million for his Gladswood Gardens apartment on the harbour. The two level, three bedroom apartment sold through veteran Double Bay agent Sally Hampshire to horse racing enthusiast Steven Gregg, chairman of Caltex Australia, and board member at Tabcorp. 

There has been a $10.5 million Cross Street off the plan penthouse sale in the 1788 project.

Other than the cast's occasional adhoc off-camera reunions, Marsh has maintained a relatively low profile since the shows last episode aired, some 18 months ago.

Although she did recently partner with Swarovski for her vlog Christmas at Home with Krissy Marsh.

The local paper, The Wentworth Courier reported this week Marsh wants to buy a Noosa holiday home.

Marsh was last in the property pages when she tried to sell the Dover Heights home she shares with husband John and their three kids in early 2017. She failed to find a buyer when asking $8 million.

My Kitchen Rules host, celebrity chef and author Peter Evans and his wife, the former glamour-model turned nutritionist Nicola Robinson, have finally upgraded in Malabar.

The couple are selling their now unneeded previous home (above and below).

It was back in 2014 when they bought a 1960s knockdown home with the intention of creating their family residence. The couple paid $1.27 million and have since built on the 580 sqm parcel at a cost of around $1 million.

The two-level, Metricon-designed home, which they moved into late last year, features a roof terrace. They’ve also got a dedicated ping pong room — Evans says the whole family are dedicated ping pong players.

It sits in exotic gardens that feature aloe trees, Mexican lilies and a climbing fig tree.

They have also installed a magnesium swimming pool, beside the enclosed trampoline for Evans’ daughters, Indii and Chilli. And their dog, Shikoba, is a fan of the pool, judging by their Instagram posts.

Evans and the family spent time over the summer break at their farm in Pottsville, in northern NSW between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. They recently added an outdoor ice bath to the farm.

Evans has been in the spotlight in recent weeks, as MKR celebrates its 10th season. He has also created headlines when he recently reiterated his 2016 suggestion there was no need to wear sunscreen.

The controversial health food couple have now listed their redundant five-bedroom home which is just a few streets back from the beach.

NG Farah Little Bay agents Peter Goulding and Nick Ujvary told buyers similar homes are fetching prices between $2.5 million and $3 million.

The 2008 modern home on 330 sqm comes fitted with a designer commercial kitchen which opens on to a ground level wraparound ­courtyard.

Evans and Robinson have ­enhanced the size of the courtyard, which now features a swimming pool along with more entertaining space complete with barbecue and fireplace.

The listing of the three bedroom, two bathroom cottage comes just weeks after the couple upgraded from Artarmon to Mosman where they've spent $6 million.

They called Artarmon home for eight years.

The Artarmon sale was a windfall result having paid $1.95 million for the 1920s home in 2010 and securing for $4.2 million.

The beach home (above and below) across two levels on 835 sqm features open plan living and dining areas off the kitchen which flows to an undercover alfresco dining deck.

It goes to auction March 20 through Ray White Callala Bay Culburra Beach agents Julie Gauci and Craig Hadfield.

Agents described the Culburra Beach home as an "immaculate family beach house."

"Days can be spent swimming, surfing, fishing and walking the dog along the beach," the agent Julie Gauci at Ray White advised in her marketing material.

"There is a cycle way for a short trip to the shops.

"This home is in a sought after tranquil cul-de-sac with no through traffic," it said.

They are offering no public price guidance to buyers on the two storey house that does not come with water views.

Beachfront homes on Culburra Beach have peaked at $2.5 million, and non-beachfronts at around $1.25 million.

The beach is highly regarded given its ability to pull in swell and its variety of waves.

The region has produced some serious talent with the likes of Tyler, Owen and Mikey Wright and the Watson brothers have once called Culburra Beach home.
