Comedian Greig Pickhaver, better known as H.G. Nelson of Roy and HG fame, has sold his Clovelly property just four days after it hit the market through the real estate excitement machine, GoodyerDonnelley Real Estate.
Pickhaver - currently starring in the Channel 10 Kuala Lumpur-produced It's A Knockout series - bought the property for $425,000 in 1995. It’s a two-storey semi but with a very contemporary architectural fit-out. Fairfax Media property video presenter Simon Johanson says it sold for $1.98 million.
Of superlative proportions, it has four bedrooms and two bathrooms on its 300-square-metre block. Its large main bedrooms comes with ocean views.
Pickhaver starred in the cult Australian comedy film This Won't Hurt a Bit opposite LA-based actor Jacqueline McKenzie, who sold her Waverton residence at recent auction for $1,163,000 – a suburb record for a two-bedroom house. McKenzie's house is among those rumoured to be occupied by the poet Henry Lawson between 1914 and 1921.
Pickhaver's character H.G. Nelson once had a business selling Zils (black Limousines used by the KGB) to clientele who's life was in danger. HG Nelson's most famous saying is: "Too much sport is barely enough."
