Big sale – 11 Yarrara Rd, Pymble.
An ex-pat family who fell in love with a Pymble home they saw online were not going to let a major hurdle like overseas travel bans stop them in their quest to buy it.
With a daughter enrolled in Pymble Ladies College (PLC), the Hong Kong-based ex-pats are planning to return and have been on the hunt for a home.

When they saw 11 Yarrara Rd, Pymble, they were very keen, said Phil Orr, of Orr&Co.
After viewing the property online and seeing videos, they arranged for a family member to drive to the north shore from Melbourne to inspect the home.
Street appeal.
Resort-style pool.
The mission wasn’t without its challenges though, Mr Orr said.
“He got here a day before the borders were closed (due to the major coronavirus outbreak in Victoria),” Mr Orr said. After the inspection, the family member headed back to his Melbourne home – and a 14-day quarantine.
All-seasons outdoor living.
Classic style.
It turned out to be worth it though. The family bought the home for $3.7 million, which also sets a new street record by $1.45 million. The previous record was set in June, 2017, with the sale of 10 Yarrara Rd for $2.25 million.
“PLC remains such a driver for interest in that area,” Mr Orr said.
“It was a great result.”
