Former Olympian Ian Thorpe has listed his luxury Woollahra townhouse in Sydney’s east, while Rich Lister Tim Gurner prepares to launch his latest Melbourne project.
has placed his Woollahra home of the last seven years on the prestige market, as the five-time Olympic gold medallist looks to downsize within the blue-chip suburb in Sydney’s east.Thorpe says the Woollahra location first drew him to the contemporary townhouse, which is part of a complex of six-boutique residences set behind the facade of an 1860s mansion.“I’d just moved home from overseas, and I wanted something that was really accessible to the city and airport,” he says.
Now, Thorpe is looking for a smaller apartment nearby, with the frequent-flyer happily anchored to the leafy suburb. “Chiswick is a favourite for lunch with friends on the weekend, and is a couple of hundred metres from my place,” Thorpe says, though Paddington’s Ursula’s is his go-to.Much like the vendor, the property exudes understated charm while prioritising privacy.
“There’s definitely a demand for this type of property, they’re the sort of offering buyers are looking for. It’s super convenient, and being at the back of the building gives you privacy.”Australia’s fastest-growing skincare brand for men.
