A riverfront penthouse once owned by Queensland businesswoman Betty Byrne Henderson has sold at auction for $5.825 million after a contest between two local bidders. The three-bedroom home sits in the Arcadia building on Newstead Terrace and overlooks the Brisbane River. Selling agent Sarah Hackett said the buyer plans to modernise the property. The sale came days after Domain data showed Brisbane house prices fell $66,000 in three months, the steepest quarterly drop on record.
Former investment banker Peter Hunt and his wife Tania de Jong, a soprano and social entrepreneur, have relisted their five-bedroom Manly penthouse with a $35 million price guide, down $5 million from February. Hunt said the couple are selling because they now spend more time at their home near Byron Bay, adding that the apartment is special and unlikely to be matched. A sale at or above the guide would surpass the Manly suburb record of $34 million set in 2024. Hunt bought the beachfront unit for $12.2 million in 2010.
前投资银行家Peter Hunt与妻子Tania de Jong（女高音歌手兼社会企业家）将其位于Manly的五居室顶层公寓重新挂牌，标价3500万澳元，较二月降价500万澳元。Hunt表示，夫妇决定出售是因为他们现在更多时间待在位于Byron Bay附近的住所，并称这套公寓很特别，不太可能再有类似的房产。若成交价等于或高于标价，将超过2024年创下的Manly郊区纪录3400万澳元。Hunt于2010年以1220万澳元购入这套海滨公寓。
