In the wake of selling their Darling Point apartment for close to $13million, Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban have re-entered the Sydney market by purchasing a Milsons Point penthouse.
Originally bought by Wizard founder, Mark Bouris, for $4.75 million as an off-the-plan investment in 2005, Kidman secured the property for a cool $6 million.
Located on the 21st floor of the Lavender Street building, the 420 square meter apartment has 180 degree harbor and city views, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large balconies and open plan living areas.
Along with their new Sydney apartment, the couple will maintain their Nashville ranch as their primary residence and their Sutton Forest (NSW) country estate for their Australian get-away when in town, optimizing the most of city and country living.
This tropical one-of-a-kind apartment is sure to impress. Situated directly on the waterfront is the 'Edge' which was built by leading Hamilton Island developer Nigel Moore. Penthouse comprises four master bedrooms, four bathrooms, study and C-bus system throughout.
As well as extensive views over the Whitsunday Islands, the property also features a spacious balcony with outdoor spa. It also overlooks the developments communal spas, barbeque area and 25 metre wet-edge pool, regarded as the best development pool on the island.
Nigel Moore says "Being invited by a friend to visit Hamilton Island over 10 years ago I could see the potential and opportunity for development" and reports that because of the success of the 'Edge', he is looking for "the next opportunity to develop more upmarket products on Hamilton Island."
Originally listed at nearly $6 million, you can now snap this beauty up for a reasonable $5 million!

SONNY BILL WILLIAMS
ON A WINNING STREAK!
Runaway former Bulldog turned champion boxer, Sonny Bill Williams, has recently sold his five-bedroom home at Caringbah, Sydney, for $1.215 million.
With a crowd of over 40 spectators, only 4 people registered to bid at the auction despite raising huge interest in prior weeks.
Although the sale was slightly below the reserve price and $60,000 less than what Williams paid for it in 2005, Williams' girlfriend, Gemma Shaw was reportedly very happy with the sale.
The sale of the property brings closure to the couple who have now turned their efforts on pursuing Sonny’s promising boxing career after his win in this week’s bout against Gary Gurr in Brisbane.
With 300 year-old cast iron carriageway gates at the entrance, the interior demands equal attention boasting 450mm deep walls and expansive views of the countryside through tall imported antique French doors and shutters.
Along with the master bedroom suite and 3 state rooms, the residence includes a Baroque dining hall holding a five metre Elizabethan table, formal library, cloak room, cellar, gallery, vestibule, grand halls, enormous kitchen (seating twelve) with adjoining scullery and dish room and a complete west wing of bedrooms and bathrooms for guests just across from the pool pavilion.
The property is listed with Richardson & Wrench, Bowral and expected to sell for between $6.5 – $7 million. For further information contact agent Michael Maloney on 02 4861-1466 or find it on www.millionplus.com.au
