It was marketed as “the ultimate address” and now the eastern suburbs apartment that belonged to charitable group YourTown has become exactly that for Fox Sports presenter Megan Barnard.
The NRL Tonight host bought the new two-bedroom apartment for $1.47 million from the charity ending her four-month property hunt.

The apartment was one of two bought in 2019 by the charity which aims to improve the lives of young people by helping them find jobs and gain work and life skills. YourTown paid $1.46 million for it in October last year and on-sold it to Barnard. The other property they bought was raffled off.
Agent Maclay Longhurst of BresicWhitney Estate Agents Darlinghurst said Barnard had been looking for a home in the inner city but instead fell in love with the eastern suburbs apartment and snapped it up prior to auction.
“She loved the fact it’s brand new and the proximity to the beaches,” he said.

The kitchen is at the heart of the home.
“This apartment is a little different to most of the architecture in the area, it has a bit more of an industrial aesthetic and that appealed to her, being an inner city buyer.”
The open plan apartment is north facing and filled with natural light. It boasts a large undercover outdoor entertaining area that flows from the living space.
There are three separate outdoor areas.
Both bedrooms also have access to their own balcony, which means the apartment has three separate outdoor areas.
Barnard, who has a passion for sport and represented Victoria in table tennis when she was 10, holds a Bachelor of Journalism from the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane. Before she came to Fox Sports News in 2013, Megan was a sports presenter, reporter and producer with Sky News National.
