The master retreat has a spa bathroom and balcony.

Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agent Catherine Dixon secured the sale of the home.

The Bragg’s tried to sell their previous, more standard, Paddington terrace but failed. They instead leased it out at around $1500 a week, having paid $2,125,000 for it in 2013.

Bragg’s maiden speech surprised many, including PM Scott Morrison, when he suggested superannuation should be voluntary for low income earners.
