The Sell: NRL star Latrell Mitchell spends $4.275m on Ramsgate Beach home

Rabbitohs fullback Latrell Mitchell is on the move, with the NRL star splashing $4.275m on a luxurious five-bedroom home with putting green in Sydney’s South.

South Sydney ­Rabbitohs NRL star Latrell Mitchell is seemingly heading south, and away from near-coastal Chifley.

The fullback appears to have snapped up a near-new luxury entertainer which was recently sold in Ramsgate Beach, in southern Sydney.

It fetched $4,275,000 through McGrath Estate Agents, topping the low-key suburb’s recent prices.

Mitchell posted the sale to his Instagram, with an image of his wife Brielle Mercy and his two children in front of the sold sign and the caption “making moves”. The post was quickly deleted, though not before teammate Cody Walker jokingly offered to move in.

The contemporary home was built in 2018 at a cost of over $700,000.

There are five bedrooms — the master complete with bespoke joinery and an ­ensuite. There’s a cinema room off the main open-plan stone kitchen, living and dining space, and the home features a number of skylights.

The property includes a putting green, swimming pool and sauna.

The 25-year-old could hone his golf skills because there’s a putting green on the near-900sqm holding, along with a gas-heated swimming pool, barbecue kitchen and a sauna.

Taree-born Mitchell, who, after a two-week rehabilitation in Philadelphia has just returned to the Rabbitohs’ side following a hamstring injury, has been based in Chifley since 2018 when he paid $1.45 million for a restored 1950s brick house.

In 2020 he spent $600,000 to buy his Taree district retreat, in Biripi country, a 222ha cattle farm at Caffreys Flat with a ramshackle stone-and-timber shack which burnt down in bushfires.

That sale was followed up last year when he bought 19ha nearby for $1,815,000 as a home for his parents Matt and Trish.

BONDI PURCHASE HAS THE X FACTOR

Samantha X, now known as Amanda Goff, has downsized at Bondi Beach.

Her recent $2.1 million purchase secured a two-bedroom, top-floor apartment in a block of six.

The original condition 74sqm apartment comes with no registered mortgage. It previously sold for $695,000 in 2013.

Her Cox Ave home had a distinctive, black-painted bedroom.

Goff sold her three-bedroom renovated semi in Bondi for $3.9 million earlier this year.

The 1920s Cox Ave semi, with black painted bedroom, cost $1,235,000 in 2012

The one-time magazine journalist who became the country’s most high-profile sex worker told Stellar magazine earlier this month about her ­departure from the “chaotic” world of escorting.

It has been followed by her diagnosis with bipolar II disorder 18 months ago.

She intends to write erotic fiction, but her next book will be on her ­transition from the adult ind­ustry.

WILKINS OFFLOADS MOSMAN UNITS

Today Show presenter Richard Wilkins has secured the sale of his second Mosman investment apartment at $925,000.

There had been an auction guide of $850,000 for the two-bedroom Punch St apartment, set on the ground floor of the mid-1960s block Tremaine.  

The tightly held building has only seen two sales in seven years, both in 2020.

The other two-bedroom apartments fetched $820,000 and $900,000. The sale marks an exit from Mosman for Wilkins, who sold a 1965 ­Moruben Rd apartment earlier this year at $1.01 million, with its investor buyer putting it up for $650 a week rent.

Wilkins (inset) retains two investment properties in Cremorne, aside from his longtime home, which was bought for just over $2 million in 2004. The remaining Wilkins apartments, both bought in 2013, cost $530,000 and $664,000.

TOFT MONKS MYSTERY SOLVED

Veteran boutique property developers Bob and Margaret Rose are tipped to soon emerge as the mystery buyers of the Toft Monks, Elizabeth Bay penthouse.

It was recently sold by Julie Trethowan, former operator of the luxury CBD health and fitness premises, Hyde Park Club.

The club was set up in 1983 with a $600-a-year membership fee by tycoon Kerry Packer, who worked out under the watch of fitness trainer George Daldry.

Property developers Bob and Margaret Rose are tipped to have bought …

… the Toft Monks penthouse in Elizabeth Bay.

Trethowan sought $25 million for the four-bedroom harbourfront apartment on its listing last November, with the price achieved for the two-storey apartment awaiting Pillinger Real Estate settlement details.

After apartment amalgamations, it’s around 600sqm, with the priciest portion costing $4 million in a purchase from the late state MP Jack Beale, who held the conservation and environment ministries in the Askin government.

Trethowan is departing the 1967 complex for One Barangaroo, where she has spent $24 million on her 76th-floor apartment, and keeping a connection with the Packer family.

The Darling Point-based Roses maintain a Palm Beach property, Bellona, which was bought from the Forsyth family, owners of Dymocks, in 2002 for $6.3 million.

Meanwhile, Jarden capital markets banker Sarah Rennie has emerged as the $11.4 million buyer of John Human’s top-floor Toft Monks apartment, which needs a fit-out of its 254sqm space, after selling recently through Sotheby’s.

SEIDLER’S LONG HOUSE SELLS

LONG House, the modernist abode in Wahroonga designed by architect Harry Seidler in the late 1950s, has been sold for $2,550,000. It took 130 days to sell.

The four-bedroom home on Morris Ave had been listed initially with a $2.7 million to $2.9 million price guidance, having last sold in 2015 for $1.53 million.

It first sold for £12,500 in 1965. The home was designed with impressive sandstone fireplace for Barry Long and his wife Betty when the couple were in their early 30s.

Long had been the first editor of the Sunday Mirror during Ezra Norton’s ownership. Long quit Sydney for his spiritual journey, after telling his wife at the breakfast table one Sunday morning he was off to India.
