Reality television stars Polly and Waz have sold their Chatswood investment property for $645,000. It was after a nervous night during which they tweeted their anxiety.

Listed with $590,000 plus hopes, the apartment is located at 15 Church Street. Its sale price reflected 27% price growth over the past five years, slightly down on the median apartment price in Chatswood which sits at $660,000, and a 30% rise over the past five years, according to RP Data.

The renovated apartment features two bedrooms and one bathroom with CaesarStone gas kitchen and a living and dining area, which leads to an entertainers' balcony.

They won the 2011 Richmond cottage season of the hit Channel 9 show.

The investment property price appreciation over the five years was 4.6% annually.
