West Tigers NRL star Josh Reynolds, hoping to put the turmoil of the past few months behind him, is again attempting to sell his Caringbah South duplex investment.
It was part of a contemporary building project with his former Bulldogs teammate Michael Lichaa. The duo paid $1.5 million for a 710sq m development site which has Port Hacking water views.
Lichaa sold his four-bedroom home with pool for $1.75 million in 2018, however, Reynolds, at the same time, did not find a buyer for his four-bedroom, three-bathroom offering.
Cronulla Real Estate’s Reno Santaguida now has the tenanted offering with a $1.6 million guide.

It’s along the street from another project Lichaa and Reynolds recently completed after their three-man investment syndicatepaid $2.5 million in 2017 for a four- bedroom knockdown on 1310sq m.
They have built four townhouses, which are days away from strata registration. Just the one has been offered for sale with Reynolds seeming likely to add his townhouse to his extensive property portfolio.
As he approaches the start of the NRL season, Reynolds this week expressed hopes of moving on from the allegations of domestic violence made by former girlfriend Arabella Del Busso – whose real name is Donna Preusker – following the alleged incidents at the duplex.
“While I’m relieved, I believe the charges against me should never have been brought, I was always an innocent man and I’m happy the legal system has proved this,” Reynolds said this week.
“I’m relieved with the fact that I can now get on with my life and move forward.”
QUICK FLIP
Married At First Sight executive producer Tara McWilliams is looking for a quick flip of her Rose Bay home.
Inspectees have been told there are $2.5 million hopes. McWilliams, who has previously produced Shark Tank, The Bachelor and the Voice, bought the home only last April, paying $1.91 million.
It is now listed through Biller Double Bay agents Paul Biller and Julian Barta, having undergone an extensive renovation. The home, now with a whitewash exterior, features a new Caesarstone kitchen with a breakfast bar.
The two-level semi has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The whimn website recently suggested McWilliams is one of the most influential women in television. She recently let slip that not all of the MAFS participants sign up for the right reasons.
Many apparently go on the show for fame.
HOWZ THAT!
Cricket legend Allan Border has sold his long-time Mosman investment apartment for $1.101 million. It overlooks his namesake Allan Border Oval from its 70sqm third-floor location.
Some nine bidders competed for the two-bedroom apartment owned by the Brisbane-based former Australian Test captain, despite its rental income being in the doldrums for the past decade.
The apartment had last traded for $98,000 in 1987 when bought by Border’s parents John and Jacqueline, well before the oval was renamed after Mosman Cricket Club’s most distinguished old boy.
The legendary batsman, who was born in nearby Cremorne, was securing around $650 a week in rent on the Myahgah Rd unit when it was last listed as available in 2017.
It was a $620 a week rental in 2013. The last sale in the 1961 block was another two-bedderwhich fetched $865,000.
Border lives at Chapel Hill, west of the Brisbane CBD, with wife Jane on acreage owned since the mid-1980s.
Now 64, Border played in 156 Tests after his late-1970s debut. He commentates on Fox Sports.
FEDERATION CHALMER
Walsholme, one of the current crop of parkside listings at Centennial Park, has been sold.
With ornate tower on Lang Road, it is the prominent Addams Family-styled home. I recall a previous owner kept pigeons in its tower.
The 1908 Federation Romanesque home, with 12-foot pressed metal ceilings, had initially been listed with $12 million hopes last year, but more recently by Ben Collier at The Agency with a $9.5 million price guide.
Designed by Archibald Fenton Spencer, the home has been bought by Paddington’s Penny Kyros. It has been owned by the Donnan family since costing $3.9 million in 2003.
Walsholme was built for the fiercely-mustachioed Fred Walsh, a patent agent, who also acted as consul-general for Honduras.
For some years he donated the Fred Walsh Special Prize for Invention at the Sydney Royal Show to encourage technical education.
“An especially appropriate house for a patent agent with its garish high Victorian,” historian Michael Cannon noted in his book, Our Beautiful Homes NSW.
The most recent parkside sale was by former Afterpay director, David Hancock at $8 million.
The record rests with the $16.5 million secured by the tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes in 2018 when Braelin sold to art patrons Dr Gene and Brian Sherman.
