It was bought in 1999 when the then Positano-based Amanda bought the two bedroom Edgecliff Road property without viewing the 164 sqm home, however she had her legendary mother, Maggie inspect the house before the $405,000 purchase.

She still runs a service where she assists visitors to the Amalfi Coast with villa rentals.

After numerous attempts to sell, former Telstra chief Ted Pretty has taken $4 million for his Woollahra home in Myles Baldwin gardens.
Having originally listed the home in late 2014 and again earlier this year, Pretty's Sydney HQ didn't sell at auction in March.
It was then listed for normal sale at $4.38 million, before being taken over by <a href="https://rwdbgroup.com/nsw/woollahra/1468017/" target="_blank">Ray White Double Bay</a> agent Eliott Placks who amended the asking price.
Pretty paid $2.75 million in 2012, for the now the completely rebuilt residence that has all three bedrooms with Juliet balconies.
Pretty has been around the block, including senior positions at Telstra, Macquarie Group, Gulf Finance House and Hills Limited.
The median price for a home in Woollahra is $2,430,000 according to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/property-observer" target="_blank">CoreLogic RP Data</a>.

Perhaps the billioniare entreprenuer Mike Cannon-Brookes, the co-founder of Atlassian, and his fashion-design industry wife, Annie aren't content at Centennial Park.
They were spotted inspecting the Queen Street, Woollahra listing, Clyde Cottage yesterday.
<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/2016/07/26/clydecottage.jpg" alt="">
It was meant to be a Cinderella listing with the agent Clint Ballard expectant of a quick sale.
But it was February, when with ambitious $13.5 million hopes, Clyde Cottage came onto the market.
The restored one-time Woollahra childhood home of Dame Joan Sutherland even had a queue at its open for inspections which extended onto Queen Street.

But it seems the interest came mostly from opera and architectural buffs.
By co-incidence the Atlassian tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes was spotted back then walking through the village, but showed no purchasing interest.
Cannon-Brookes and wife, Annie spent $12 million last year in Centennial Park after selling in Paddington.
For a time the Cannon-Brookes called Paddington their home at the former 1907 Myers warehouse emporium on Hargrave Street that had been converted into a four-storey, but eight level mansion by Duncan and Lyn Hardie.

The adventurous adaption of the prior House of Desks outlet involved a $4 million plus 2005 conversion approval that then ranked among the dearest of Sydney's non-waterfront private residential projects.
Set on a 300 sqm block, it was sold at $10.5 million in late 2015 by the Cannon-Brookes.
Clyde Cottage, which has had a makeover by studiointernationale and May+Swan Architects, has been listed by the patient vendor, Singapore billioniare Ronald Ooi, who was educated in Sydney.
It last sold for $4 million in a dilapidated state.
The restoration and extension of Clyde Cottage retained the original residence at the front, and added two interconnected pavilions behind it that include the ultra-contemporary main living areas.
The house became Sutherland's home after her father died suddenly on her sixth birthday in the early 1930's and sold by the family sold in 1951.
Several years before her death Sutherland noted: "Unfortunately, from the time my family gave up the house, the deterioration set in.”
