The apartment, 1

Boon’s post on Instagram, with a picture of a very young Jason sitting down to a meal of juice and cheezels, this afternoon aroused suspicions it may have sold, with his boast: “Good week with 3 sales this week.”
Then Sauvage posted a picture with both Boon and Waterhouse with the words: “JUST SOLD with Jason Boon within a week! $5,400,000.”
The property hit realestate.com.au only last Friday in an expressions of interest campaign and had three bedrooms, two bathrooms and undercover parking.

19/85 Yarranabbe Rd, Darling Point, has sold to an offshore buyer after just five days on the market.
It has glorious harbour views.
It appears in this week’s Wentworth Courier — out today — with Sauvage saying: “We had good numbers through Saturday’s first open home and it’s generating interest from all over.
“This is the best apartment for sale in Darling Point.”
No wonder it’s sold so quickly.
The outlook from Waterhouse’s fourth-floor apartment is nothing short of incredible: the uninterrupted, never-to-be-built-out view takes in the entire span of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Clarke Island, North Head and the boat-studded harbour.
The block has been recently refurbished, and so has the apartment.
No expense has been spared on the renovated property, which offers 157 sqm of internal living space.
Sleep tight.
Iconic outlook.
Among its other attractions are the high ceilings and beautiful Herringbone floors; generous open-plan living space and the well-appointed kitchen.
Sauvage has been involved in two other recent Darling Point apartment sales where the buyer was offshore and hadn’t even been to the property.
The others were: the Thornton St double penthouse owned by car dealer Neil Sutton and his son, Scott, that sold for $7m to an offshore Chinese buyer. The listing agent was Gavin Rubinstein of Ray White TRG but Sauvage introduced the buyer.
And the recent sale at 32/60 Darling Point Rd, which sold for well over its guide price of $3.7m and set a record for the building. That property was being marketed via Sotheby’s.
