Tennis star Nick Kyrgios to sell 'unique' $1.8m penthouse before French Open
Nick Kyrgios is set to spend more time in his hometown of Canberra, with the tennis player listing his "unique" Sydney penthouse for auction along with a few bonus inclusions.
The Kensington split-level penthouse located at 802A/260 Anzac Parade is listed with a price guide of $1.8 million, however Kyrgios is open to considering offers prior to the scheduled on-site auction on June 14.
The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two undercover car spaces and a storage cage, with a north-facing terrace boasting impressive views.
In the complex there are no tennis courts, but there is a heated outdoor pool and plenty of green space, with a convenience store, shops, cafes and restaurants right below the building. The light rail, Randwick Racecourse and the University of NSW are all at its doorstep on Anzac Parade, too.
Kyrgios' brother Christos said the major appeal of the area was its central location to all Sydney has to offer.
"You're close to the beaches, you're 15 minutes from the city and if you want to get to the airport, that's only 15 minutes away as well. So you're close to all those places without having the congestion of living right on the beaches or in the city," he said.
"Nick is no stranger to wanting to go out to a club or eat at a nice restaurant and having Bondi and the city so close, it's a really big benefit."
The Kyrgios clan felt the time was right to move on from the Sydney apartment after it was purchased in 2022 for $1.6 million, and had an estimated $100,000 in renovations completed, including professional painting done by their father, George.
"Nick's not spending as much time there anymore, so we decided it's a good time to move that apartment, given the federal election is over now and there might be some incoming interest rate cuts," he said.
"There's probably been about $100,000 spent on renovations to the kitchen and living room, tidying up the terrace, and putting in new floors and a fresh coat of paint.
"There's a lot of inclusions we are going to leave there like a big-screen television, a really good sound system, and the bedrooms are all set up as well, so it really suits someone who wants something relatively turn-key."
Kyrgios was splitting his time between Sydney, his Canberra family home and another property in the Bahamas, but will now call the Australian capital his main residence.
Christos Kyrgios said they would be open to other investment opportunities, and hinted that there could be "another purchase around the corner".
Tristan Oddi from PPD Real Estate based in Edgecliff is the agent listing the Kensington penthouse and said it was a rare opportunity for buyers looking at the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.
"Because it's a unique property it should be popular. There's not a lot of places like this," he said.
"It would suit buyers that are young couples, downsizers, and even families with one or two kids because three-bedroom apartments are so hard to come by in this location.
"The market has definitely picked up in the last few weeks and there could be a rate cut as early as Tuesday which would be really good for buyers."
Kyrgios is about to embark on a long stint on tour in Europe with a return to the French Open for the first time since 2017 his first stop.
The 30-year-old will play men's doubles alongside countryman Jordan Thompson at Roland Garros before competing in a mix of singles and doubles at tournaments in the lead-up to Wimbledon in late June.
The 2022 men's singles finalist will be back in London for what would be the two-year anniversary of his devastating wrist injury that took innovative reconstruction surgery to repair.
"I'm excited to get out there and play," Kyrgios told The Canberra Times.
"We put a lot of work in - myself, Will [Maher], and the team.
"I feel good. Me and [coach] James [Frawley] have been on the court pretty much every single day. I'm hitting the ball well, it's just a matter of playing matches.
"With this part of my career I'm excited to travel the world and do some fun things whilst I'm out there."

These vacant railway yards at Redfern could be our next mega film studios
Market soundings for potential screen studio locations were concluded last month to identify suitable sites and viable options for screen infrastructure and production spaces. The government's $100 million investment will be subject to business case approval and probably focus on a second studio proposal for Redfern, Oran Park in south-west Sydney and potentially another slated for Silverwater. Celebrated Australian director George Miller said the key was finding the right location for the new studios – close to existing infrastructure such as transport, post-production facilities, a back lot and even places to eat. The commitment to a second film studio comes after US President Donald Trump last month announced a 100 per cent tariff on all movies produced outside the United States. NSW Arts Minister John Graham said on Sunday that such a move would be 'self-defeating'. 'If the US is going to go down this path, it would not only damage activity here in NSW, it'd damage it in Hollywood,' he said. 'But it's a matter for them. We're monitoring developments closely, [but] standing up for the industry here in NSW.' The budget commitment was welcomed by Business Sydney's executive director Paul Nicolaou, who said it was a timely response to a pressing need to bolster the state's infrastructure and maintain its competitive edge in the international film and screen industry. The proposed sites near Eveleigh rail yards in Redfern and another at Silverwater presented strategic opportunities for expansion. 'Eveleigh's rich industrial heritage offers a unique backdrop that could be revitalised to blend historical significance with modern cinematic infrastructure,' he said. 'Silverwater's strategic location and existing infrastructure make it an ideal candidate for such development. 'These locations could significantly enhance Sydney's capacity to host large-scale productions, attracting international projects and stimulating local economic growth.' Matt Levinson, culture policy lead at Committee for Sydney, said the lack of an adequate sound stage and base for film production had hobbled Sydney's potential. Loading 'We strongly support the government's move to invest in this area and the work they're doing to get the policy settings right,' Levinson said. 'On the face of it, North Eveleigh is the perfect location – close to transport links for workers and logistics, plenty of space and deeply embedded among the many hundreds of tech, media and creative production businesses around Central. 'Wherever it lands, what's needed is a space that can unlock the tremendous potential across our city's film, screen and gaming sectors and those local producers need to be leading the charge.

ASX set to slide, Middle East attacks trigger Wall Street slump; Oil prices surge
Oil prices leaped, and Wall Street stocks slumped on Friday on worries that escalating violence following Israel's attack on Iranian nuclear and military targets could damage the flow of crude around the world, along with the global economy. The S&P 500 sank 1.1 per cent and wiped out what had been a modest gain for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 769 points, or 1.8 per cent, and the Nasdaq composite lost 1.3 per cent. The Australian sharemarket is set to retreat, with futures on Saturday pointing to a loss of 23 points, or 0.3 per cent, at the open. The Australian dollar retreated. It was fetching 64.85 US cents at 5.21am AEST. The strongest action was in the oil market, where the price of a barrel of benchmark US crude jumped 7.3 per cent to $US72.98. Brent crude, the international standard, rose 7 per cent to $US74.23 for a barrel. Iran is one of the world's major producers of oil, though sanctions by Western countries have limited its sales. If a wider war erupts, it could slow the flow of Iran's oil to its customers and keep the price of crude and petrol higher for everyone worldwide. Beyond the oil coming from Iran, analysts also pointed to the potential for disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a relatively narrow waterway off Iran's coast. Much of the world's oil that's been pulled from the ground moves through it on ships. Loading Past attacks involving Iran and Israel have seen prices for oil spike initially, only to fall later 'once it became clear that the situation was not escalating and there was no impact on oil supply,' according to Richard Joswick, head of near-term oil at S&P Global Commodity Insights. That has Wall Street waiting to see what will come next. US stock prices dropped to their lowest points for the day after Iran launched ballistic missiles toward Israel.
