A Woollahra home designed by architect, F. Glynn Gilling home sold recently, having been listed last September with overly ambitious $4 million plus hopes.

The residence at 49 Wallaroy Road was characterised by classic architecture aimed at downsizers seeking space, style and security.

It was sold by the former Vogue Living editor Robyn Holt and her little known actor husband Jim Holt whom she met on the set of the 1984 Kennedy Miller miniseries Bodyline, where he apparently played cricketer Harold Larwood.

It fetched about $3.75 million when sold to a doctor having been bought by the couple in 2002 for $1.71 million, shortly before she moved to Russia to launch Vogue Russia.  

Robyn previously co-hosted the reality TV show The Renovators.

It had been long listed with Ballard Property Group, and more recently with Raine & Horne’s Patrick Cosgrove as the months rolled on without any sale. McGrath’s Will Manning confirmed the property had sold, but understandably declined to reveal the result.
