Paddington

Five downsizers registered to bid on a prized apartment offering in the conversion of the 1905 Royal Hospital for Women that sold on the weekend for $4.395 million.

The two-bedroom apartment at 8/18 Flinton Street saw bidding open at the $3.7 million price guide.

The reserve was $4 million through Bresic Whitney agent Maclay Longhurst.

With 214sqm on title, the apartment came with level living house-like proportions.

It last traded for $1.61 million in 2005.

There was a $4,375,000 sale in March in the converted building in the Stockland Paddington Green development.&nbsp;

The apartment came with 243sqm of living space and a north facing entertainer&#39;s deck.

Its price guide had been $1.4 million to $1.47 million.

Peter Chittenden, the managing director at Colliers Residential, wrote on his blog that&nbsp;Paddington Green was a large-scale, inner-city redevelopment of the former Royal Women&rsquo;s Hospital site located two kilometres east of Sydney&rsquo;s CBD.

&quot;A unique aspect of the site, and something in common with Newmarket was the fact that the development comprised several (seven) precincts.

&quot;These comprised a mix of terrace houses and apartment buildings designed by three different and highly regarded architectural firms.

&quot;Construction started in 1999 and included 5-6 storey residential apartment buildings with basement parking (common across the entire site) and a pool.

&quot;Plus, there were a variety of small mainly two-level, apartment buildings and the adaptive reuse of one of the existing 1905 free-standing hospital wings.&quot;

There was also office space and retail premises and a plaza fronting Oxford Street and in the final stages a large new park on Glenmore Road.

In total Paddington Green delivered some 130 dwellings with the intention of the developers Stockland&nbsp;to deliver a modern interpretation of the surrounding Victorian terraces alongside the new apartments and with varied scale.

CoreLogic calculated there was a 63 percent success rate from 625 apartment and townhouse auction offerings.

The success rate from the 2066 houses was 76 percent.

Sydney apartment vendors saw a 70 percent success rate compared to Melbourne&#39;s 56 percent.

There were 312 offerings across Sydney compared to 268 across Melbourne.

Australian DJ Will Sparks is selling Onyx, the luxury Paddington, Brisbane home he bought just last year.
He quietly snapped up the home for $2.35 million before it even it the market, just after it was completed by go-to home builder Graya Constructions to a design by Joe Adsett Architects.
But after settling on the home in September 2019, Sparks, with his girlfriend Brooke Clancy, was spending more time in his native Melbourne and the luxury home became a rental. He sought $2,200 a week.
Constructed with a nod to the traditional Queenslander form with its clean lines, the contemporary home on 405 sqm has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a temperature controlled wine cellar.

A rear terrace flows to the grassed lawn and a swimming pool and a rooftop deck has views across the city.  
Ray White New Farm agent Matt Lancashire has the listing.
Sparks, who played around 300 shows a year pre-COVID, was named the number one Australian DJ in 2014.

Splendour in the Grass co-founder Jessica Ducrou and her surfboard shaping partner Dain Thomas have listed in Paddington.

They paid $3.65 million for the renovated four level Glenmore Road terrace in 2017, snapping it up in nine days for more than double its $1.75 million price in 2013.

The home is now a mix of contemporary and classic behind the traditional Victorian façade.

The open floorplan embraces Parisian design elements.

<img alt="" src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2020/10/9/splendour%201.png">

It has four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Jane Schumann, who sold them the home, has a $4 million guide for its November 2 auction.

Ducrou established Splendour with music industry veteran Paul Piticco in 2001, with Powderfinger headlining the inaugural show.

Ducrou had been taking a break from Rolling Stone magazine, where she worked in accounts, when she met Piticco, who was managing Powerfinger, in a Byron Bay pub.

The former Brisbane Broncos coach Anthony Seibold has flipped his Paddington home, a stones throw from Suncorp Stadium.
Seibold found a buyer in just seven days for the luxury architect designed home that he bought for $1.9 million just 18 months ago when he returned to Queensland following his departure from the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
McGrath Paddington agents Alex Jordan and Reuben Packer-Hill asked for offers over $2.15 million, and secured $2.3 million.
The contemporary home near Rosalie village has five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a rumpus and a glass wine cellar.
The luxury kitchen with butlers' pantry features a wide servery window which runs to the alfresco area with built in barbecue.

<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2020/10/8/seibold%202.png" alt="">
There's a rooftop entertaining terrace with views across Brisbane.
Last year Seibold and wife Hollie offloaded their investment property near the Gold Coast for $485,000, having bought it for $261,000 in 2009, the same year it was built.
They were based in Wales at the time where Anthony was the assistant coach at the new Welsh rugby league club the Celtic Crusaders.

Internationally recognised abstract painter Michael Johnson and his wife ­Margot have sold their grand Paddington terrace, Cawdor.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom terrace with 3m-high ceilings was listed with a $4.3 million asking price. There has been no price reveal, but prospective buyers were being advised late this week the 1880s terrace was set to fetch a little over $4 million.
The home is lined with large paintings on almost every wall. There is a bohemian feel throughout the home that harks back to the loft-living aesthetics of New York, where Johnson lived during the early 1970s.
The 162 sqm property ­includes a studio where he painted the work Oceania high low that won him the 2014 Wynne Prize for the best landscape painting of Australian scenery.
The Bent St property was sold to the ­couple for $2,235,000 in 2012, and has since been extensively renovated. It features include a French marble fireplace, and French doors opening into a modern kitchen and an entertainer’s deck.
Johnson and his wife have ­decided to spend more time at their country property and a Woollahra bolthole.
Paddington’s latest listing is a Stewart St home, redesigned by the late architect Ken Woolley, which has hit the market with a $4.5 million buyer’s guide.
The three-bedroom was purchased by Woolley and his widow, Virginia, in 1995 for $730,000.
BresicWhitney agent Emily ­Davidson has it listed for September 19 auction.
Woolley, who died in 2015, was a leading figure in a romantic architectural movement referred to as Sydney School.
Paddington currently has 33 properties for sale, with a median terrace price over the past year of $2,440,500. Based on five years of sales, Paddington has seen a compound growth rate of 7.9 per cent for houses.

Artist Michael Johnson sells Paddington terrace Cawdor

<div class="domain-article-content-body domain-content-event-track">
Financier Michael Wayne and his fashionista fiancee Nadia Fairfax could soon be living in the $4 million Paddington terrace Cawdor. No confirmation to her 188,000 followers, however.

But the Paddington grapevine suggests Wayne, the managing director at financial services firm Medallion Financial Group, and Fairfax secured the 1880s terrace before its scheduled auction.

Cawdor was sold by the abstract painter Michael Johnson and his wife ­Margot, who had paid $2,235,000 in 2012.

Fairfax keeps most of their private life off her social media, with little known about Wayne, who offers private wealth advisory services, with a focus on the equity and fixed income markets, both locally and ­internationally.

He stepped down from his directorship at the Sydney Jewish Museum last year.

With her passion for restor­ation projects in Italy, the fashion designer turned tourism property entrepreneur Collette Dinnigan is selling her Paddington charmer.
It’s the Mary Place investment terrace bought from her brother, creative director Seamus Dinnigan, for $1,925,000 in 2017.
The popular rental is a rare 1850s freestanding cottage spanning just 70 sqm of internal space. The terrace with two bedrooms and one bathroom has been listed by Ivan Bresic at BresicWhitney.
Seamus Dinnigan had bought the home for $1.08 million in 2015 from gallery owner Evan Hughes and his lawyer wife, Kate.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/2/17/5%20Mary%20Place%202.jpg" alt="">
Dinnigan quit the fashion world after 24 years in 2014, and turned to real estate with her entrepreneurial husband Bradley Cocks. They’re spending more and more time in Italy.
Initially the couple was renovating a 100-year-old farmhouse in Puglia, and are keen to take on other projects.
They retain a Darling Point bolthole, along with retreats in the Southern Highlands and at Milton on the NSW south coast.
Further south their stylish Rosedale Airbnb cottage was burnt down during the summer bushfires. It was incinerated on New Year’s Eve along with most of the houses in the clifftop precinct.
