London expat milliner sells in Surry Hills
Milliner Steve Harrison and his partner, IT specialist William McCosker have secured $1,525,000 for the Ridge Street, Surry Hills terrace through Spencer & Servi First National.

The three bedroom terrace was listed with $1.35 million plus hopes, then with revised $1.4 million plus hopes through Natalie Muzica of Spencer & Servi First National. It sold after its first open for inspection, well ahead of its scheduled August 10 weekend auction.
It was available for rent at $770 a week in 2006.
