Former bond trader turned professional poker player Jason Pritchard is having a second shot at selling his architectural sanctuary in Mosman.

Two years ago his five-bedroom home with northerly views over Balmoral Beach came to market with a guide of $16.5 million to $18 million.

The Gordon St property didn’t sell so Jason and his wife Alison decided to hold.

Now they are back on the market with another agent and a revised price guide.

Their pavilion style home now has a guide of $14.5m to $15m and goes under the hammer on April 10 through Ray White Lower North Shore.
