The 95-cap Wallaby legend and Western Force player Kurtley Beale is cutting his ties with Sydney property.
Having sold his Randwick home last year, Beale and wife Maddi are now selling their Paddington apartment.
While the apartment at 11/228 Moore Park Road, Paddington has been an investment property over recent years, Beale did live in the one-bedroom bolthole when he was training at Allianz Stadium. The Paddington Barracks building on Moore Park Rd sits opposite the homebase of the Waratahs.
McGrath Paddington agent Georgia Cleary has given a $780,000 guide for its June 6 auction.
The ground-floor apartment with a deep courtyard cost $380,000 in 2007, the same year Beale played his first game for the Waratahs as an 18-year-old.
Data shows the 68sq m unit was offered for rent in August 2020, in the pandemic, at $480 a week, which was well down on its $630 a week offering in 2019.
The last one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment without parking in the building was sold for $825,000 last July.
This one first sold for $388,800 after Walker Corp designed the $28m, 75-unit apartment complex in 1999, with it completed in 2001 by Australand. The late developer Lang Walker had secured the 3400sq m site from the Metropolitan Water Sewerage & Drainage Board for $6.25m.
Beale and Maddi, who have two children, have recently bought in Cottesloe, the popular beachside Perth suburb. They spent $2.2m on a new three-bedroom apartment in the Elizabeth Residences, named after the 1839 shipwreck 200m from the Cottesloe shore.
The two-level apartment is within a boutique complex of eight, set five doors from the beach, which was pitched as being perfect for a professional couple, downsizers or retirees, as well as a small family.
All up there is 238sq m of internal and external living space, and a further 30sq m of stacker parking for two cars, and small storage.
Beale secured $4.725m for his former Federation Randwick home, which he bought for $2.651m in 2015. It had been a longtime rental since his time playing for the Waratahs, with stints in the UK and France taking him away.
