It was 9/45 Cross Street which fetched $4 million after previously being 2014 rental at $2,200 per week (below).

It came up for sale with $4.2 million hopes in mid-2015.

Located in 'the Gallery' and marketed as a prominent cosmopolitan residence by selling agents Tom Murray and Julian Hasemer of 1st City, the three bedroom apartment featured a large north facing terrace.

The apartment block has a communal gym, spa, sauna and heated lap pool.

Previously traded for $1.45 million in 2000 and set on 927 sqm, the architecturally designed home features a barbecue alfresco area which overlooks designer gardens and a heated pool.
