Alongside over a hundred properties sold in the Ballard Property Group, these prestige sales were just some of Clint Ballard Team’s highlights. “Every property is a highlight for us though, with the team striving to produce the best results for our vendors.” Clint commented on the sales, “I’m proud of the teamwork that has lead to these results.”
In a Potts Point record, the exquisite Bomera was sold in October by Ballard Property for the second time. Clint noted that it was “a landmark sale and a real testament to what we do here at Ballard to have clients return.” Bomera, a magnificent Italianate Victorian mansion encircled by 2308sqm of exquisite manicured grounds with commanding world class views across Sydney Harbour had been updated extensively since we sold it six years ago.
In a second repeat prestige sale for Ballard, 1/28 Billyard Ave, Elizabeth Bay sold in August, a suburb apartment record. Unobstructed northerly views over Sydney Harbour create a mesmerising backdrop to this extraordinary penthouse and set the scene for an enviable harbourfront lifestyle.
Prestige heritage-listed properties were another common thread through the year’s sales. Robbie Thorncroft commented that “heritage homes are popular in the East, because people not only appreciate the historical significance of a property, they can expect features we don’t see in contemporary builds.”
This was seen to magnificent effect in Randwick, with 28 The Avenue sold in a suburb terrace record to local residents by Clint and Robbie. Built in 1888 as part of the historic Avonmore Terrace row, a heritage-listed row of nine three-storey Italianate homes at 26-42 The Avenue, Randwick. The terrace had been transformed by interior designers Arent & Pyke and architect Tom Ferguson with a collaborative design that injected a sense of life and vitality into the striking interiors.
In September 2019, 86 Coogee Bay Rd Coogee sold at auction after a popular campaign that saw unprecedented interest in the heritage-listed home. Positioned in a landmark corner position, the property sold at auction for $500K over its reserve, creating a street record for both Carrington Rd, Coogee and Coogee Bay Rd, Coogee by Robbie and co-agent James Ball. Ballard Property project managed a meticulous overhaul prior to the campaign, ensuring the heritage features were beautifully highlighted.
After two unsuccessful campaigns with other agencies, 17 York Rd, Bondi Junction was sold off-market following excellent teamwork from Paul Ephron, Robbie Thorncroft and Sam Towndrow. The sale was one of twenty-two for Paul, who also sold 27 Parsley Rd, Vaucluse with Clint after several other agencies ran unsuccessful campaigns.
We hope everyone enjoys an excellent holiday season, and look forward to another record breaking year in 2020.
