Designer splashes out on Victorian Woollahra home

Kaftan designer queen Camilla Franks forked out $3.868 million buying into one of Sydney’s most expensive suburbs, Woollahra, purchasing an Edgecliff Road property from Belle Property agent, Albert Sassoon.

Franks, a childhood resident of the eastern suburbs, has decamped from her digs in the area to buy a two-level Victorian-style house replete with marble fireplaces, lap pool and stone-topped trendy kitchen.

The designer house has a lock-up garage with internal access for the security conscious. Franks, who has made her fortune selling her heavily decorated kaftans around the world, snapped up the house, built in 1900, after it was on the market for just 18 days last November. The designer recently got engaged and has moved into the Edgecliff Road property, which features a stunning upper-level terrace.
