Model Lara Bingle is listing her Darling Point home for sale.

It is the stylish one bedroom Goomerah Court company title apartment that was bought from interior designer Blainey North for $882,000 in 2010 through Brad Pillinger Real Estate, soon after her break-up with the test cricketer Michael Clarke.

There might have been a premium in that price as it's now up with more than $825,000 being sought through McGrath agent Richard Bonouvrie who advised Title Tattle the marketing will begin later this month.

Set in an art deco apartment complex, there are city and harbour views (pictured above from prior marketing campaign) from most of its 65 square metre space. It was not the apartment that Lara lived in while filming her reality television series, which was based on Notts Avenue, Bondi Beach.

It has American oak parquetry floors. It had been traded at $700,000 when bought by Blainey North.

There have been two other McGrath sales in the block when $925,000 was secured for a two bedroom unrenovated listing and then a renovated two bedroom sale last October at around $800,000 which Title Tattle suggests would explain the latest pricing estimate.

RP Data puts the current apartment median in Darling Point at $1.3 million.

Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke has reportedly spent $8.5 million on a five-bedroom viewless Vaucluse home with wife Kyly.

Currently live in Lilli Pilli in the Sutherland Shire, the new abode was bought from the Curtis family through Sotheby’s agents James McCowan and Michael Pallier, with the news reported only this week after its March 21 sale. 

The Australian Financial Review Rear Window columnist Joe Aston reported the couple will take possession of the Fitzwilliam Road house in early this month. 

The five bedroom, six bathroom house set over 1,236 square metres was built in 2009.

The Stephen Gergely-designed home sits in gardens designed by Marcia Hosking.
