Socialite Kate Waterhouse and her former rugby league player husband Luke Ricketson have listed a Potts Point property for a February auction.

The couple, with daughters Grace and Sophia, reside at luxurious home fronting Balmoral Beach, bought for $17.8m in 2020. It was one of Mosman’s highest sales that year.

But this is an investment unit at 7/244-246 William St, bought in Ms Waterhouse’s name in 2010, for $525,000, that’s now up for February 13 auction with a $900,000 price guide.

It’s understood they’re now looking to buy a larger investment property.

Listing agent Samuel Schumann of Raine & Horne Unlimited expects the unit, on level two, will be popular.

The unit offers open plan interiors.

The kitchen and dining area is modern and stylish.

“Given the location, it’s going to appeal to young professionals, first-home buyers and investors,” Mr Schumann said.

“It’s a great two-bedder, a decent size and open plan — a fantastic unit!”

Property records show the rent for the semi-furnished unit jumped from $791 in October 2021 to $900 in July, 2023.

The terrace is a decent size at 13 sqm.

The apartment is in a modern block, one of 25, on level two.

Mr Schumann estimates it could fetch between $950 and $1050 per week in the current market.

The unit, with 50sqm of internal space and a 13sqm balcony, is one of 25 in the block that was built in 1998.

The block is pet-friendly, subject to application with the owner’s corporation.
