Australian cricket legend Mark Waugh and his wife, successful horse trainer Kim, have bought a holiday apartment in the heart of Port Stephens.
The apartment, with gun-barrel views looking out over the water, cost $500,000 for the two bedroom unit in a 1980s block.
Kim Westcott at O'Meara Property Nelson Bay initially sought $525,000 for the 90 sqm unit when it was first listed in August. 
It last traded for $439,000 in 2014. Since then the kitchen was updated.

The couple have been based in the Central Coast for over a decade.
In 2013 they spent $1.62 million <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/nsw/27341-mark-and-kim-waugh-upgrading-nsw-central-coast-acreages" target="_blank">upgrading to their current home in Jillibb</a>i, a 17 hectare lifestyle property where they could have their horses.
They were moving from Mardi where they had resided in a four bed master-built home on 1.16 hectares since paying $580,000 in 2006.
They sold for $1.08 million.
Mark Waugh is cricketing royalty, a star with the bat in Test and ODI's.
He ranks as Australia's fifth highest run-scorer in Test history over his 128 game career which spanned 11 years to 2002.
Kim was New South Wales' top harness racing driver in the 1980s which she cut short to concentrate on training gallopers.
One of her most notable achievements in thoroughbred racing has been winning the Sydney Cup in 2005 with the stayer Mahtoum.

The Bungwahl church north of Port Stephens has been listed for sale following a decision by the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle.
The property with 130 plus years of history offers <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-other-nsw-bungwahl-127248086" target="_blank">Myall Lake views</a> from its elevated 2,025 sqm parcel. 
It goes under the hammer on February 17 through Forster Pacific Real Estate Pacific Palms agents David Shaw and Ashley Boyd-Skinner.
Shaw told the local paper that a lot of people want to turn it into a residence.
Not many were intending on relocating the building.
He said he is getting strong interest ahead of the auction including one potential buyer who wanted to maintain the building as a church.
Some 150 people have emailed or telephoned for information about the property, with 15 contracts issued.

The asking price of Garden Island, near the historic village of Carrington at Port Stephens, has been cut by its carpet warehouse sellers Wendy and Ken Derry.
It now comes with a $2.75 million price guidance through McGrath Terrigal agent Adrian Culpin, having been listed with <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/16910-title-tattle-overflow" target="_blank">$6 million hopes in 2012</a>.
The couple paid $480,000 for the mostly overgrown 1.4 hectare island in 2001 and then commissioned award winning architect Philip Pratt to design the home.
His brief was to create a home with a mix of Australian rural architecture and Japanese Modular design.

The three bedroom home, about 950 metres to the shore, features separate pavilions with Colourbond steel external walling and roofing.
The property comes furnished and complete with buggy, boat and car.
The island was held by the pioneering White family after the Australian Agricultural Company disposed of some land holdings in the 1880s.
The deeds to the island show the island was bought by Dribold White from the AA Company in 1885 for £30.
It is among around 20 island in the Port Stephens area, however it is the only one that can be built on.
Garden Island had <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/67930-garden-island-for-sale-near-port-stephens" target="_blank">$4 million hopes</a> when listed in April.
