Radio broadcaster Rove McManus and his wife, actor Tasma Walton, have sold their Avalon Beach home. 
Coming with ocean views, the couple, who have a two-year-old daughter, Ruby, initially sought $3.2 million.
But less than $3 million was secured by the Gold Logie award winner who bought the 1525 sqm clifftop property in 2011 for $2.57 million from the McBeath family.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-avalon+beach-122646818" target="_blank">The five-bedroom home sold</a> through Raine &amp; Horne features a wraparound terrace, open-plan living areas and a swimming pool.
The tri-level floorplan was designed by architect John Cochran with a Moroccan-inspired aesthetic in 2008.  
The impressive main entertaining terrace is equipped with a built-in barbecue/outdoor kitchen that adjoins the in-ground pool.
At the rear of the property is an artists’ retreat and deck, along with a gate for direct access to Bangalley Head.
The couple are likely to relocate to the coastal eastern suburbs.
Southern Cross Austereo have been worried this year by the lack of audience takeup for their Rove and Sam breakfast show on 2DayFM.

Australian model Gemma Ward has quickly sold her clifftop Avalon Beach investment property.
<a href="https://www.firstnational.com.au/buy-residential-real-estate/house-67-marine-parade-avalon-nsw-11009100104" target="_blank">The unrenovated shack</a> featured in the news around the world when the tenant, hairdresser Lanell Latta, was murdered in the home last month.
Latta had been renting the home with her partner and two sons when Ward bought the house in June last year.
Latta's youngest son, Joel Woszatka, stands accused of the murder. 
When Ward bought the two bedroom home on the 1,1000 square metre oceanfront block it came with approved plans to build a "dream home", designed by award-winning northern beaches architect Atelier Haefeli.
There were plans for a four bedroom Hampton-style residence with separate study, multiple informal and formal living areas, pool and lift access.
But any designs for the project ended when it was listed for sale by Ward and her photographer husband David Letts.
She's not make a profit out of the unrenovated property - they're happy to take a pre-auction offer of $1.65 million, just four days into its marketing.
They paid $1.6 million last year through Pacific First National agent Steve Crooks, who also sold the home this time round.
The couple were splitting their time between Newport and Byron Bay.
Two years ago Letts paid $1.6 million for a Suffolk Park home.
The three bedroom beach home is bordered by dense trees, shielding it from Tallow Beach which can be accessed via a sandy track.
The couple have two children after Gemma gave birth to baby number two earlier this year.
Baby boy Jet Ocean joins three year old Hawaiian born daughter Naia in the Ward clan.
From Perth, Ward made her Australian Fashion Week debut at only 15 years old and went on to become the youngest model to appear on the American edition of Vogue. 
In 2007, Ward earned $3 million from her doll-face looks, to be ranked by Forbes magazine as the 10th most highly paid model in the world.

Food providore pioneer Simon Johnson and his partner, medical diagnostic firm manager David Nichols, have bought back into the Northern Beaches market.
They've traded in Whale Beach for Avalon, settling on a luxury Riverview Road waterfront.
The couple, who split their time between their London home and Sydney, paid $4.1 million for the updated 1950s modernist home on two titles.
Acclaimed modernist architect Arthur Baldwinson designed the home some six decades ago.
The home has been added to, but original features such as the glass atrium kitchen and striking sandstone fireplace have been retained.
Glass was used extensively wrapping the lounge and dining zones, which open to the waterfront deck with views across Pittwater.
At the bottom of the 1070 square metre sloping parcel is a fully self-contained boathouse, jetty, pontoon and private sandy beach.
The sale through LJ Hooker Avalon agent David Watson came with a rare full certificate to title to low water mark.
Johnson and Nichols sold their Iain Halliday-designed Whale Beach weekender after two decades, having paid $1.1 million in 1997. 
They sold the luxury Rayner Road home with sauna, steam room and outdoor marble jacuzzi for $7 million.
The four bedroom property was billed as Halliday’s favourite residential design in Vogue.
Simon Johnson began providing food in 1992 from a small warehouse in Pyrmont.
He sold the business in 2011 for a reported $20 million, but stayed on a management contract until last year.

Justine Cullen, the recently married editor of Jones, the DJ's department store prestige fashion quarterly magazine, is yet to sell her Avalon Beach home of the past five years.

Cullen has owned the Avalon home since 2014 when she paid $1.46 million for a quaint 1950s fibro cottage.
Two years later she undertook a full scale designer renovation, which included expanding the living area of the home by carving an opening on one side, where a Mediterranean-style swimming pool now sits.
A staggered deck with custom built bar and barbecue leads down to the lawn and private garden sanctuary on the 570 square metre block.
Over the Christmas break Cullen, the former editor-in-chief of Elle Australia, married former TV presenter turned producer Hayden Guppy in Texas.
Cullen is expecting her fourth son in March, her first with Guppy. 
Their wedding came during a road trip across America. It involved stops off in Alabama, Montana and Mexico. 
She recently Instragammed she was getting "nostalgic and sentimental" ahead of selling her "beach shack which we’re officially about to outgrow".
They're leaving their "dream street", moving one street away.
It has been a busy time for Cullen whose first issue of Jones featured Fernanda Ly on the cover. The autumn magazine, released earlier this month, is aimed at their professional shoppers who have an average $136,000 household income which is $33,000 higher than the average population.
