Broadcaster Kel Richards lists Riverview home

Kel Richards, the veteran Macquarie Radio broadcaster, and wife Barbara have listed in Riverview.

Richards, best known for his insights into words, has been in their older style two storey house since paying $170,000 in pre-boom 1986.

Now with modern kitchen and bathrooms, the five bedroom home has been listed through Holgate First National Lane Cove agents Scott and Tina Henry.

They expect the 580 sqm Yallambee Road property, with pool, to fetch around $2 million at its September 12 auction.

It was built in 1927 and extended in the 1970s, with the marketing saying its interiors display a wonderful sense of elegance and charm.

The radio personality has also written a series of crime novels including The Case of the Vanishing Corpse, Death in Egypt and An Outbreak of Darkness. His ABC News Radio weekend Wordwatch segment ran until 2010. 

Kel Richards currently presents Sydney radio station 2CH's Sunday night program Sunday Night with Kel Richards.
