Collette Dinnigan buys luxury Elizabeth Bay penthouse
Fashion designer and interior designer Collette Dinnigan has snapped up a luxury Elizabeth Bay penthouse after selling her Darling Point home for $20m. It's an interesting move for Dinnigan and husband Bradley Cocks, a hotelier and real estate agent, who previously owned a four-bedroom semi in Hamden Ave, Darling Point that they'd bought for $7m in 2017 and spent years renovating to capitalise on views Rushcutters and Elizabeth Bay. The couple's new home is a two-level three-bedroom residence atop the six-level Tradewinds building, bought for about $7.2m via BresicWhitney director Shannan Whitney and Romany Brooks last month, sources advise.

Tradewinds is considered one of Elizabeth Bay's best positions, with the 250 sqm north-facing apartment coming with uninterrupted harbour views towards North Head. Expect Dinnigan to add her personal touches to the stylish new pad, which was last renovated a decade ago. It comes with three 'retro' styled bathrooms and kitchen and a wide balcony with large terrace on level one.

The Entwistle's former home, at 53 Regent St, Paddington, a magnificently renovated four-bedroom terrace with alfresco garden and parking, has been listed with Maclay Longhurst and Emily Davidson of Sotheby's. Neither wished to comment. On a 212 sqm block close to Centennial Park and with three bathrooms, there's a $5m guide for a June 28 auction. MORE: Kmart set to change everything in Temu war

Dilapidated home full of furniture sells for jaw-dropping price
A dilapidated single-level terrace in Newtown has sold for a whopping $1.606m, more than $600,000 over its price guide. Inside the home there was old furniture, boxes of clothes, abandoned mail and what appeared to be mould on the walls. The run-down property at 26 Kent St selling under the hammer and was being sold off by the NSW Sheriff's Office via BresicWhitney real estate agents. The price guide was $1m and the listing described the property as 'a chance to secure a classic house in the heart of the area,' with 'loads of future potential.' It's unknown how the property came to be in this state or the circumstances of the sale. Regardless of the shabby state, and auctioneer Thomas McGlynn saying it 'needed some TLC,' buyers were eager to make it theirs with fierce and fast bidding. Sea Eagles owner's $17m home for sale The auction attracted a huge crowd of bidders, onlookers and neighbours all keen to see who the new buyer would be. At least four buyers were actively bidding all eager to breathe life back into the home, with many others registered not having a go for the keys. Bidding opened at $1.1m with desperate home buyers offering multiple $1,000 bids to try and come out on top. 'There's more drama here than Universal Studios,' auctioneer Thomas McGlynn said as more $1,000 bids came in at the 11th hour.

'It's mixed emotions … I'm extremely happy and relived,' he said. MORE: Sea Eagles owner's $17m home for sale 'Not salvageable' property to sell for a bomb MORE: What homes will be worth in each suburb by 2030 'It just goes to show all these years, my brother knew what he was doing. 'It's been a year since he passed, I'm really proud of him and eternally grateful for what he did,' he said. Mr Hillier said his brother had left school at 14 and 'worked his tail off,' to build wealth through business ventures and property investment. 'The typical rags to riches through sheer hard work,' he said. 'I'm very happy, I met the couple that bought it and they seem like a really lovely young married couple and it's their first property,' he said. Mr Hillier had also recently sold another of his brother's property's via BresicWhitney on the same street. The property at 81 Arthur St was a two-bedroom modern terrace which sold in late March for $3.35m. He planned to gift a large portion the proceeds of both sales to his two sons, to help them get into the property market. 'Prices are too hard for young kids regardless of how diligent they are at saving,' he said.

Despite the heated nature of the auction, Mr Kirk said that was a 'normal representation of auctions at the moment.' 'For something like this in the heart of the Surry Hills village and now that the election is out of the way and Labor won by a fairly strong margin, there's a lot more stability,' he said. With the hope of rates coming down, Mr Kirk said inquiry levels and open attendance had picked up. 'Surry Hills is continually evolving and we seem to be attracting buyers that historically were focused solely on Paddington, they are coming across to Surry Hills for the light rail that connects you to the city, the new TOGA development and with all the restaurants and dining, we have seen a noticeable transition.' The median house price in Surry Hills is currently $2.107m, according to PropTrack data. MORE: New neighbourhood coming to Sydney Telco CEO pays $12.1m record for house with no parking
