Sydney Roosters star Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and wife Chelsea haven’t wasted any time in snapping up a buyer for their renovated Mosman home.
It took just five days for the property at 55 Countess St to sell, through Michael Coombs and Anthony Godson, of LJ Hooker Avnu.

Mr Coombs was tight-lipped about the sale result, however it is understood the property sold for about $5 million.
The property was due to go to auction on August 29, and had a guide of $4.85 million.
Mr Coombs said 35 groups inspected the property, and six contracts were issued in the five days after it came to market.

Classic style.
Negotiations began in earnest on Sunday and the property was officially sold on Tuesday.
“There were a couple of buyers who were very disappointed, but they just couldn’t move quickly enough,” he said.
He wasn’t surprised by the speed of the sale or the level of interest.
“It’s probably one of the best properties in the area,” he said.
“These are the deals where I love my job – an amazing house, lovely vendors and lovely buyers.”

The buyer is a local family, Mr Coombs said. He said the sale showed the strength in the lower north shore market, which is still struggling due to a shortage of stock.
“The market is ticking along strongly, and I think come spring there’s going to be a lot more buyers around,” he said.
“COVID’s really made people focus more on their family and their house.”
The Waerea-Hargreaves family had bought their Countess St property as their forever family home, but the renovation bug has hit hard and they want to do another project.
Mrs Waerea-Hargreaves said they hoped to stay in the Mosman area, as they loved the family vibe and the eldest of their two daughters is due to start school next year.
“It is such a great area for families,” she said.
The couple did a stunning renovation.

The home is a clever mix of classic architectural styles that make the most of the light-filled interiors and extensive outdoor spaces.
The skylit all-seasons deck has an outdoor kitchen that is perfect for the family and the living areas are kept cosy in winter with a dual sided fireplace,
Other features include a stone kitchen with Miele appliances, impressive main bedroom with
deck, ensuite, walk-through wardrobes, zoned ducted reverse cycle airconditioning, and state-of-the-art home security system including video intercom.
There are multiple living spaces.

The manicured rear garden and lawns are low-maintenance thanks to an integrated irrigation system, and there is a gas-heated pool.
Mrs Waerea-Hargreaves said she and her husband had thought carefully about listing their home in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We did question it, but this seems like a long-term thing and I don’t think it’s going to go away overnight,” she said.
Mr Coombs said the couple was now on the hunt for their next home, and are making Mosman their priority.
“They love Mosman,” he said.
