Bikini-influencer-turned-businesswoman Natasha Oakley and her husband, Shore Financial’s Theo Chambers, have listed their Paddington home with an $8 million guide.
Young Rich Lister and founder of Monday Swimwear Natasha Oakley and her husband Shore Financial CEO Theo Chambers, of the Chambers Cellars family, have listed their Paddington cottage with price expectations north of $8 million.
The listing comes as no surprise given the recently married couple have upsized to a 1950s villa in Bellevue Hill, paying $17 million for their six-bedroom matrimonial home to vendors Laura and James Hannan, son of printing magnate Michael Hannan.
The Paddington home comes with rare 7-metre wide frontage in a suburb associated with narrow, densely packed properties. 
According to CoreLogic, the pair paid $5.4 million for the sandstone abode in 2017, three years after the former model launched her social media account Monday Swimwear – alongside Devin Brugman – which charges swimwear labels to feature on the highly successful Instagram account.
Ms Oakley would go on to make her Financial Review Young Rich List debut in 2021 with an estimated wealth of $63 million.
The young entrepreneur currently helms Monday Swimwear, online fitness offering The Pilates Class and soon-to-launch Monday Body, and has amassed 3.5 million personal Instagram followers by generating savvy online fashion, fitness and beauty content.
Now, with the Paddington abode surplus to needs the pair have enlisted PPD’s Alexander Phillips to offload the charming cottage on a 239 square-metre block complete with a coveted double garage.
“It is the best street in Paddington, and it’s unprecedented to get 7-metre frontage – people move out of Paddington to get that frontage,” Mr Phillips said.
Unlike most Paddington terraces, the slate-roofed, four-bedroom, four-bathroom property is set well back from the street.
The couple’s June nuptials held at Capri’s Caesar Augustus Hotel in Italy were documented in a Vogue magazine spread, the latest testament to Ms Oakley’s now-cemented status as an Australian fashion heavyweight.
Staying in Sydney’s eastern suburbs where property developer Paul Smith and his wife, Hilarie, have emerged as the buyers of a $12.8 million harbour-view penthouse in Rose Bay, according to recent settlement documents.
Mr Smith – who helmed the construction of Double Bay’s Ritz-Carlton (now the Intercontinental) between 1989 and 1991 – paid the hefty price to retired Bigstone Finance executive Robert Spano. Mr Spano meanwhile paid $5 million for the pad in 2011, according to property records.
The Smith’s latest luxury acquisition comes with 700-square metres of living space across the top two floors of the distinctive 1961-built corner block, which has been recently remodelled by architects Weir & Phillips, with interiors by Pyke Design.
This Rose Bay penthouse complete with harbour-view pool has sold for $12.8 million. 
Billed as one of Rose Bay’s finest executive sanctuaries, the penthouse features herringbone floors, a Calacatta viola marble kitchen with Wolf appliances, a home theatre and expansive outdoor terrace featuring a heated mosaic pool overlooking Rose Bay.
The penthouse sale was handled by Highland Double Bay’s David Malouf, who declined to comment on the deal.
The Smith’s purchase follows the May sale of their three-bedroom sub penthouse in Potts Point’s ‘Chatsworth’ building on Wylde Street for $10.85 million.
The Rose Bay buy marks a homecoming of sorts for the couple, who previously resided in a Tivoli Avenue mansion which they sold for $34 million in 2020.
Edward Ring, of Melbourne’s Swisse Vitamins family has paid $6.81 million for this South Yarra home.  
In Melbourne’s South Yarra, the mystery buyer of a designer home on Fawkner Street has emerged as Edward Ring, son of Stephen Ring of the Swisse Vitamins’ founding family, according to property documents.

Mr Ring – who is also a co-owner of cult Melbourne sandwich shop Hectors Deli in Richmond and associate director at investment fund manager Conscious Investment Management – paid $6.81 million at auction to secure the four-bedroom property in June.
The grandson of Swisse Vitamins founder Kevin Ring paid significantly above the $5.5 million to $6 million guide to secure the four-bedroom Victorian home, which comes with a double-storey architect-designed rear extension, pool, in-built bar and multiple living areas. The property sold through Jellis Craig’s agent Nathan Waterson, who declined to comment on the vendor’s identity.
In 2015 Hong Kong-listed baby formula company Biostime paid about $1.7 billion for a majority stake in Swisse Vitamins, catapulting the Ring clan to one of Melbourne’s wealthiest families.
Staying in South Yarra where former head of legal for Wesfarmers Paul Meadows has put his home on the market guiding $8.2 million to $9 million.
Located on what is regarded as one of South Yarra’s best streets, the 1900-built Victorian home on Kensington Road features an American-style kitchen complete with a French Lacanche cooker, butler’s pantry, a Vintec wine fridge and oversized island bench.

The two-storey home comes with a glass conservatory opening to a manicured garden with gas-heated plunge pool and in-built barbecue.
The property is listed with Kay & Burton’s Ross Savas, Duncan Fraser-Smith and Jamie Mi.
“This is an incredible opportunity for a buyer who wants their address to be one of South Yarra’s most coveted streets,” Mr Savas said.
According to CoreLogic the property last sold for $6.8 million in 2017.
