The high profile former fitness instructor - and Channel 10's Aerobics Oz Style presenter - Anton Scott has listed his Rushcutters Bay apartment.

Scott regularly hosted the early morning fitness television show during the 1990s.

He's selling his three bedroom apartment high in the Ian Moore-designed Altair block on Kings Cross Road.

Having sold his long-time Newtown home for $1,217,000 in 2013, Scott paid $1.82 million for the 13th level apartment in 2014 

He said the harbour views never get boring, but is intent on a northern NSW tree change.

Mark Foy at Belle Property Surry Hills is marketing the apartment in conjunction with Brigitte Blackman of Cobden & Hayson Surry Hills for a May 26 auction.

They have a price guide of $2.75 million.

Scott was a national aerobics champion, winning the 1993 and 1994 National Aerobic Championships gold medal in the mens' individual category.

He was a silver medalist in the teams event at the World Aerobics Championships in 1993 and 1995.

Scott became an emergency procedures instructor for Qantas Airways after his time on the screen.

 

There's whispers's one of Paddington's largest terrace homes has been purchased for around $7 million by Dr Naomi McCullum, the pioneer of non-surgical cosmetic medicine.

It is not far from her practice, The Manse Clinic.

The five bedroom Underwood Street residence, which last traded for $1.55 million in 1998, had a $7 million price guide through The Agency's Ben Collier, who secured the sale pre-auction.

The stately home on 475 sqm with swimming pool in its mature established gardens has retained its original heritage, so could get a makeover.

The traditional verandahs wrapping around all three levels have views down towards Rushcutters Bay.

It comes with over nine metres wide frontage at the end of the heritage row.

Radio personality Brendan 'Jonesy' Jones can paddle board now on the bay, rather than just in his backyard pool. 

The Cronulla-raised WSFM host has spent $4.75 million upgrading in the Sutherland Shire.

Following their purchase on the Burraneer Bay waterfront, the couple sold their Sylvania home.

Last month's settlement documents revealed it fetched $2.12 million when sold pre-auction through Collins & Giles Real Estate agent Michael Giles..

The new home is a little further away from his radio studio, but as he once suggested getting up at 3.25am is the punishment, with the trip to work at that hour a breeze. 

Brendan, wife Helen and their three kids lived at their Sylvania property for nearly a decade, although Jones said Helene hadn't been too keen initially..

The sleek white four bedroom home on nearly 700 square metres cost $1.3 million in 2009.

Recalling purchasing the house, Jones joked earlier this year that it "looked like a drug dealer owned it".

The home, built in 2000, has four bedrooms, open plan living and dining areas and a home office.

When he couldn't get to the beach, Jones used to practice stand up paddleboarding in the swimming pool having taken it up in Hawaii in 2011.

There's no swimming pool at his new home, but there's direct water access from the sloping 1,175 square metre parcel.

The vendors initially sought $5.3 million, before changing agents to Laura McKay at Highland Property Agents Cronulla who marketed the home reducing the price to $5 million then $4.85 million.

On the water Jones will have his own jetty, pontoon and renovated boathouse.

Jones, who recently celebrated his 50th birthday, began his career on the community radio station 2BCR Bankstown before jobs at 6KA in Western Australia, 2NM Muswellbrook and i98FM in Wollongong.

He has co-hosts breakfasts WSFM with Amanda Keller for 12 years. The show was the number 1 FM station in 2005 when it defeated comedy duo Merrick and Rosso.

In the most recent ratings it was second most listened.

Jones, who was a contestant in the 13th season of Dancing with the Stars,  published his memoir, Fifty Shades Of 50 last year.

702/252 Hedges Ave, Mermaid Beach has sold for $5.25 million.

A luxury non-beachfront penthouse on the Gold Coast’s Millionaire’s Row has been sold for $5.25 million within two weeks of hitting the market.

Former Carlton Football Club director and developer Colin De Lutis, whose family real estate empire is reportedly worth more than $500 million, flew up to inspect the two-level Mermaid Beach penthouse as soon as he got the call it was on the market.

He made a cash unconditional offer of $5.25 million only hours later for the 758 square metres space.

The Hedges 252 penthouse includes beach views, a glass lift, roof terrace and a 15-metre heated lap pool

De Lutis already owns an apartment in the Paradise Centre at Surfers Paradise

The penthouse sold 18 months ago when former Coles boss John Fletcher sold it at a $1.9 million loss.

Records show Fletcher paid $6.7 million in 2007 at the height of the boom but sold for $4.8 million in 2016.

Tolemy Stevens, the selling agent advised close to $100,000 on improvements had been spent on the residence in the interim.

The Bellevue Hill home of UniLodge founder Jane Hewitt and husband, Mariner Securities director Gary Symons, has been listed with $15 million hopes.

They paid $11.71 million for the six bedroom Drumalbyn Road home in 2013 when buying from APN News and Media chairman Peter Cosgrove.

The contemporary home with Mediterranean overtones sits on 1415 square metres with harbour and district views.

Atrium style doors open from the living area to a heated Peter Glass swimming pool.

The Agency's Ben Collier has a June 2 auction.

Hewitt sits on the board at the Beacon Foundation.

She founded UniLodge in 1996, a pioneer and leading provider of student accommodation in Australia and New Zealand.

The longtime Bilgola weekender of the late newspaper publisher James Fairfax listed with $4 million hopes in March has finally been sold - and for substantially less.

Ginahgulla last traded in 1960 at £8250. Set on The Serpentine, the home still has its Leslie Walford features including oyster shell splashback in the kitchen.

The oceanfront reserve home has been listed by the neighbour, his longtime friend Richard Walker who inheritaged the home after Fairfax's death last year aged 83.  

The sale price has not been revealed.

He gifted Retford Park at Bowral to the National Trust, and had in recent years sold a home in Woollahra, along with Stanbridge Mill at Dorset, England.

The opulent late 1980s Brisbane mansion built by Christopher and Pixie Skase has been sold for $10.138 million.

Star Hotel Group boss Steven Shoobridge secured the luxurious home, best known for his 2016 Brisbane CBD penthouse sale to former prime minister Kevin Rudd and Therese Rein for $8 million.

Shoobridge also recently secured the sale of their Abian apartment for $4.12 million.

The ABC 4 Corners journalist Michael Brissenden - who last year televised a report on Australia's debt fuelled housing boom suggesting it could come to a crashing end - bought an inner Sydney terrace at weekend auction.

But with the boom tailing off, the Newtown home cost $1,675,000, just $10,000 above its official reserve.

Three of the five registered bidders participated at the onsite auction which had come with a $1,475,000 buyers guide.

Brissenden, who The Sunday Telegraph reported opened the bidding at $1.4 million, has been Canberra based during which he'd previously been the 7.30 political editor, host of AM, defence correspondent and an overseas correspondent.

The single storey, three bedroom terrace had last traded at $880,000 in 2010, almost doubling in price over the intervening eight years.

It sold at $51,000 in 1984.

Brissenden's influential 4 Corners report, Betting on The House contributed to the public debate that led to the finance industry royal commission.

Rugby league commentator Mark 'Piggy' Riddell and wife Karlie have listed their Silverdale family home, as they seek out a sea change option.

They are headed to Shellharbour.

He won't be leaving the 2GB rugby league Continuous Call Team, but will face the longer commute.

From Silverdale, the Pyrmont HQ is around 70 kilometres west. Shellharbour is close to 100 kilometres. 

The home, newly constructed by G J Gardner, has five bedrooms and three bathrooms, but it comes with his fields of dreams. It's own football field paddock.

The listing advises it is set on one of the most sought after acre lots in the peak of the Greenhills Estate where house and land sales recently hit $1.91 million.

Elders Real Estate agents Damien Sexton and Aimee Mitchell have a June 2 auction. 

The foyer leads to open plan kitchen, family room with fireplace and dining rooms which overlook the outdoor entertaining area with swimming pool.

Riddell says the family have always talked about moving.

"We are making the sea change because we have always talked about it and have always loved the south coast for years," Riddell told me.

"With 3 young kids we felt if we didn’t do it now we never would! 

"So we said bugger it, let’s do it!

"We absolutely love our house we are selling, but just wanted that sea change and to stay out of Sydney.

Riddell has already eyed up his and wife Karlie's next purchase, which has recently gone under contract after having $1.1 million hopes through Ray White agent John Kay.

Riddell was a goal kicking hooker who spent most of his career at St George Illawarra and the Eels, before a brief stint in the English Super League and then ending his career at the Roosters.

He won the 2010 Super League Grand Final with Wigan Warriors in 2010. 

Elizabeth Gaines, now the chief of Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest's Fortescue Metals, and husband Kevin Manuel, have traded up in Perth, while staying in Cottesloe.

Having sold their luxury apartment for $3.35 million a few months ago, they've spent around $5.75 million on a nearby new home.

The five bedroom home with office, gym and lift was built in 2016. 

The now sold apartment (above) cost the couple $3.57 million in 2016 when they bought it from the Hughes car dealership family, shortly after Gaines was made CFO at the company.

The three level Cottesloe apartment was in a block of just four designed by the architect Blane Brackenridge. 

It became their WA base after they sold on Sydney northern beaches for $5.2 million early last year.

They resided there in the former home of model and Myer ambassador Jennifer Hawkins and builder husband Jake Wall at North Curl Curl.

Sydney's glamorous property developer couple sold their 2010 built home to Gaines for $4.1 million in 2014, in the Windy Dropdown gated community, having bought the building block for $1,375,000 in 2009.

The gardening guru television host Brendan Moar has listed in Camperdown.

The home (pictured above) is a fusion of futuristic modernist styles, according to the marketing by the BresicWhitney Glebe agents Chris Nunn and Nick Playfair.

They describe the home as a one-off poolside entertainer.

Spanning three levels, the four bedroom home is an eclectic mix of tastes.

It has custom-designed hidden cabinetry and a spiral staircase with lightwell. The swimming pool in the courtyard wraps around the kitchen and dining area. 

A top floor master retreat comes with its own roof garden.

Moar paid $1,265,000 in 2009 for the home that is scheduled for June 2 auction.

The garden recently featured on The Living Room.

Moar has been busy working on property projects on the South Coast.

He's just finished a Lake Tabourie project, while recently securing Pelican Brief, a waterfront home on Burrill Lake (pictured above), which seems set to be his next endeavour.

The progress of the Lake Tabourie home (pictured below) was well documented on Moar's Instagram, with the latest posts telling followers the home is now on the regular holiday letting channels.

It is being advertised as a designer retro beach shack, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms capable of sleeping six guests with a floor mattress.

It says it captures the spirit and fun of classic Australian beach house life.

Moar was obviously in control of the garden.

The landscape architect, who has appeared on a number of TV shows as the top gardener, completed the garden part of the project late last year.

"Hammock = icing on the cake," he posted on Instagram alongside the hammock and lake view from the verandah.

"Lakeside garden complete. Will be up on Stayz soon if you're interested in holiday renting this south coast slice of goodness...," he added.

Moar is the gardening editor for Inside Out magazine and released his first book, Grounded, in 2005 as a companion to the Moar Gardening television series.

He has twice been voted favourite male subscription television presenter at the ASTRA Awards having appeared on shows including Foxtel's Dry Spell Gardening, By Design.

The long-time Bellevue Hill home of the late Australian film animator Yoram Gross AM has been sold. Mark Goldman at Sotheby's secured the sale after it was listed with $6.5 million hopes.

Gross made 16 animated features and a dozen television series, bringing to life characters including Dot and the Kangaroo and Blinky Bill.

The Cranbrook Road property was bought by the Polish-born producer in 1999.

He paid $2.91 million when buying from then Westpac chief, David Morgan, and wife Ros Kelly through Walter Antonelli and Bart Doff. 

Yoram and his wife, Sandra set up their first film studio in Israel in 1962, and later founded Yoram Gross Film Studios in Paddington after migrating to Australia in 1968.

In 1977 they secured international acclaim with the animated film, Dot and the Kangaroo, only the second animated feature ever made in Australia.

Gross established an unenviable worldwide reputation for the adaptation of children's characters from books to animation.

In 1992 he diversified into making animated series for television, with the popular Blinky Bill.

The studio also did laminated versions of Skippy and Flipper.

He released his autobiography My Animated Life in 2011.

His family lived under the Nazi regime in Poland. According to his studio bio, his family “was on Oskar Schindler’s list, but chose to make their own risky escape, moving hiding places 72 times”.

Surrounded by gardens on its 955 square metre parcel, the Georgian family home spans two stately levels with lift access.

It features a timber-panelled home office and grand formal living and dining rooms.

Outside there's a garden studio, heated pool and a garage, converted in to a pool house. 

Sydney Sotheby's agents Mark and Barry Goldman who were marketing the home secured $6,575,000.

Cranbrook Road house sales have ranged between $3.25 million and $28 million over the past five years. Bellevue Hill's median house price sits at $5.45 million according to CoreLogic.

Gross, who passed away in 2015 aged 88, also had property at Wentworth Falls.

Andrew Denman, from the adventure tourism company Experience, has finally sold his redundant Bondi Beach apartment, having upgraded to a $4.55 million Bondi Pacific apartment.

Denman initially listed his apartment in the neighbouring Beach House through The Agency with $4.3 million to $4.6 million hopes earlier this year, but dumped the agents for Sothebys who didn't reveal the sale price.

Denman had bought it off the plan in 2009 for $2.45 million.

Designed by MHN Design Union with interiors by Burley Katon Halliday, the apartment fuses cutting-edge design with a relaxed beach feel.

The GWS Giants star forward Jonathon Patton is now happily settled in Sydney, and has bought his first home.

The big man, and former No.1 draft pick, has spent $1.6 million on a designer terrace in Alexandria.

He declared his love for Sydney, in particular the east, in a recent interview with Players Voice.

"If someone asks me where home is, Sydney is definitely the answer now," the Noble Park, Melbourne-born forward said.

"If I was asked to describe Sydney now, I’d say it’s an energetic place.

"I live in the east, and there’s so many happy people.

"If you’re on the beaches, you don’t see any trouble. You can hang out and meet South Americans, Europeans, and without even trying you find out more about the world."

Patton bought a $1.24 million investment Edwardian cottage in Melbourne's Richmond in 2016 which briefly contributed to speculation he could return to Melbourne. 

He's been based in Sydney's east in a three bedroom Kensington penthouse for the last couple of years, having moved out of Breakfast Point when he was turning 21.

Patton, who was dropped from the team for last weekend's game against the West Coast, had spent his first couple of years in Sydney living with his team mates nearer the Giants base at Blacktown.

Upon moving to the east, Patton, who turns 25 later this month, said that was when he "really saw what Sydney had to offer".

He said the when the Giants drafted him when he was 18, the only taste of Sydney he had was a national under 16 football championships two years earlier, when he was based at Blacktown for the week.

"That tiny taste of the outer west was about all I knew of Australia’s biggest city."

He said he was expecting to move to Sydney and it would be nowhere near as good as Melbourne.

"I was so wrong," he said.

He says he's at the beach pretty much every day.

His new purchase is closer to the city than the beach, and a commute to the Giants base out west.

He has been spotted out buying furniture at Canvas Home Interiors in Paddington.

The Alexandria property has been reinvented since it last traded for $665,000 in 2008.

Spanning three levels, the three bedroom home features a master retreat sits on the top level, complete with its own walk in wardrobe and ensuite. 

The two middle level bedrooms open to their own balconies, while an entertainers courtyard flows off the open plan kitchen, living and dining room space.

The Agency's Brad Gillespie sold the 1998 built home pre-auction after having a guide of $1.45 million. 

Patton was the Giants leading goal kicker in the 2017 season which saw them make the finals for the second time in a row despite an injury-plagued year.

A Tamarama Marine Drive, Tamarama building block has now been listed for June 25 auction by Marco Rossi, chairman and founder of the construction company Built.

There were $15 million reported expectations on its initial 2016 listing.

Rossi has stuck with Sothebys, but brought in Bethwyn Richards at The Agency to get the sale across the line this time.

Rossi bought the property in 2007 for $11 million, setting a record for the suburb at the time.

He demolished the existing building and excavated at a cost of around $1 million.

Rossi has since moved to Bellevue Hill's Yoorami with his partner, Stephanie Stokes, as they wanted the family to be closer to schools.

Plans for the five bedroom Tamarama home include an eight-car garage and a lift from the street frontage.

The plans are estimated to cost another $7 million.

They were designed by internationally renowned architect Wallace E. Cunningham.

Queensland entrepreneur Tony Quinn and wife Christina have sold their luxury Main Beach sub-penthouse just ahead of its recent auction.

The couple, who sold their VIP Petfoods empire in 2015 for around $400 million, own a $10.9 million Hope Island home nearby.

They recently settled on a $3.4 million Byron Bay beach retreat near Clarkes Beach.

Their 19th level Main Beach apartment in the residents only, 2005 built, Axis building, cost them $2.62 million.

It comprises 320 square metres of living with three bedrooms, a home office, two living areas and an entertainers terrace with skyline views.

Ray White Prestige Gold Coast agent Jackson Paradise sold the home

After selling VIP Petfoods, the Quinn's spent $25 million buying the iconic Australia confectionary company Darrell Lea. They sold it earlier this year for around $200 million.

They also own two motorsport racetracks in New Zealand where Tony hopes to build a world-class golf course along with residential development.

Food blogger Stephanie Conley-Buhre and entrepreneur husband Oskar Buhre - who rank among Sydney's most stylish couples - have listed their Darling Point home.

The couple had Luigi Rosselli redesign the home on Eastbourne Road which sits in Will Danger gardens.

In 2008 Stephanie moved from fashion to food, and her food and entertaining blog 'The Hostess', where she shares her favourite recipes and entertaining tips.

Her first book, At Home With The Hostess, is being published in June.

Balancing Queen Anne period grace with contemporary style, the home across four levels has six bedrooms, five bathrooms.

There's also an 800 bottle wine cellar.

A solar heated swimming pool overlooks the level lawn.

Its grand foyer includes a glass ceiling feature and a sculptural Piranesi inspired stair winding and unwinding from the lower living room level to the upper attic.

There's also a quaint black and white marble-floored piano room.

It was the cover story in Belle's last edition given its lively fabric wallpapers, textured carpets, decorative matte wood floors, wall dado panels. Conley’s flair for design has lent the interiors an elegant and cosmopolitan air, and a Lacanche double oven from France takes pride of place in the kitchen.

It has been listed by Alison Copes at Agency by Alison Coopes.

Conely's eponymous fashion label was worn by the likes of Kim Cattrall, Naomi Campbell and Naomi Watts after its 2005 launch with her signature empire-line dresses, high-neck blouses, sailor pants, wool jackets and boleros.

Critics said Conley fused old-style glamour with elegant femininity.

Conley is the daughter of the late Broken Hill-raised aviation pioneer and property investor, John Conley who bought the home in 1977 for $155,000.

Her younger husband Oskar Buhre is the CEO of E-Nome, which is developing a software solution to empower consumers with better access to their health records. He also runs his private advisory business Buhre Capital, which had dabbled in an institutional grade bitcoin exchange for spot and futures contracts.

Her sister the DJ Annie Conley was the $13 million buyer of the Tamarama home of pioneering fashion retailer Robbie Ingham and wife Sarah last year.

Conley sold her O'Sullivan Road home, a refurbished 1930s Prof Lesley Wilkinson home in Will Dangar gardens for $5,775,000.

The Spring Farm block does now come with approval for a double storey home with attached granny flat.

Tedesco will have nearly doubled his money if it sold at the top end of the $649,000 to $699,000 price guide when offered by My Property Consultants Shannon McDonnell, who found a buyer in just 12 days.
