Baby photographer Anne Geddes' Potts Point bundle of joy on the market: Title Tattle

By Jonathan Chancellor
Friday, 01 June 2012

The internationally renowned photographer Anne Geddes, famous for her portraits of babies often in cabbage patches, and her husband, Kel, have listed their impressive Potts Point apartment. It’s in the Alex Popov-designed block Grantham, which has front-row views of Woolloomooloo Bay, Sydney Harbour and the Bridge, Opera House and CBD skyline. It’s been listed through Jason Boon and Geoff Cox of Richardson & Wrench Elizabeth Bay presumably with $7 million or so expectations. There are just the eight whole-floor apartments in the 2010 completed Halcyon Group development. Each apartment occupies a whole floor and comprises three bedrooms and three bathrooms, two ensuite. There are two car spaces for each of the apartments, plus generous storage areas. The SJB Interiors introduced a mix of natural stone, bronze and timber.

The Priory, the monastic Neutral Bay harbourfront estate listed with $10 million-plus hopes, has been sold. The sale price accepted by retired United Artists executive turned property developer Ken Stevens and his wife, Judit, has not been revealed by the listing agents Christie's agent Ken Jacobs and LJ Hooker Mosman's Richard Harding. It last traded in 2001 for $4.35 million when bought from the former Worldschool director-turned-property-investor Ashley Owen and wife Julie, who had paid $2.8 million in 2000. The 1906 Federation residence on a 914-square-metre block comes with a waterfrontage of 32 metres – deemed as one of the widest available on the lower north shore. It’s no doubt been bought by boating enthusiasts, as the Shellcove Road property's facilities include a mooring pen, a large L-shaped jetty, an iron slipway and a boat shed with a home office above it. In 1926, when The Priory was owned by a religious order, a chapel was added. It’s now the dining room with vaulted ceilings, cedar panelling and an impressive sandstone fireplace. The four-bedroom house near Kurraba Point wharf comes with a self-contained guest apartment. There's talk its been sold at $8 million plus to a Mosman buyer.

The Ingham family has sold its long-held apartment (pictured above) in The Connaught, a high-rise residential tower opposite Hyde Park in the city. McGrath agents Ben Forsyth and Ben Collier had $2.6 million hopes for the 24th floor three-bedroom apartment with a 17-metre balcony. Title Tattle recalls it last traded for $505,000 in 1984, the year the Liverpool Street building was completed. When the 239 apartments came onto a depressed market in the early 1980s, they were initially slow sellers and prices realised were quite low.
