Housewives of Sydney star and charity fundraiser Krissy Marsh has settled on her Double Bay acquisition.
Housewives of Sydney star and charity fundraiser Krissy Marsh and her commercial property developer husband, John Marsh, have settled on their Double Bay acquisition.
It cost $26.8m, less than the $30m advised expectations on its listing in May, when offered by siblings, jewellery designer Sybella Morris and her older brother Hamish Douglass, the former Magellan director.
Despite its shortfall, the property ranks as Double Bay’s priciest non-waterfront sale, bettering the $17m paid by Michael and Annie Cannon-Brooks for their home, the 1923 Professor Leslie Wilkinson-designed Verona, on Ocean Ave, in 2018.
The Marshes’ recently acquired six-bedroom home had been last sold in 1967 when company director Gordon Douglass bought it for $74,000, soon after his marriage to Jane Hill, who died last year.

They were great advocates of the live arts, dance and ballet in Sydney society, and horse racing enthusiasts.
Marsh posted her pending move to her 25,000 Instagram followers.
“20 years in one house, we are out celebrating after our pack up,” she advised with the family photographed having dinner at their new local diner, Margaret.

Their nearby Pinehill Ave abode, on a 2300sq m cul-de-sac setting, was marketed by Ray White as “presenting a rare opportunity to secure one of the largest tightly held estates in Double Bay”.
There are unconfirmed whispers the family have secured a smaller adjoining property enlarging the size back to when it was built in the 1930s for Ninian Thomson, of the aerated water machinery company, Mauri Bros and Thomson.
Meanwhile, the couple have secured the settlement of their redundant Dover Heights home, which had been listed with $10.5m to $11m hopes. It fetched $11.5m.
They had briefly tried to sell the Military Rd home five years ago with $8m hopes.
Architects Mackenzie Pronk designed the six-bedroom entertainer in 2009 with interiors from Make Creative’s Antonia Pesenti after its $1,975,000 purchase in 2003.
It has been bought by igaming veteran Peter Causley, who directed the online casino games developer Lightning Box Games from its 2004 establishment until late last year when the Sydney-based company was bought by the American company Light & Wonder.
The house exchanged hands for $26.8 million.
The Marshes also own two Noosa properties, spending $9.8m on the waterfront in 2019, then adding a home diagonally across the road last year for $7m to be used by extended family when it was not a luxury holiday rental.
Marsh, a former Queensland model who was a successful Sydney commercial estate agent, was dubbed the “Property Princess” after the 2017 premiere of Housewives on Foxtel
