Comedian Carl Barron snappily sells Potts Point apartment

The comedian Carl Barron has secured the snappy sale of his luxury Potts Point apartment.

There’s no price reveal yet, but he had been seeking $5.5 million buyers for his 16th-floor unit in Rockwall Apartments through Richardson & Wrench.

Barron, who is Australia’s biggest live touring comedian, paid $4 million in 2013.

The three-bedroom apartment has a bow-fronted sunroom capturing all the Harbour Bridge and Opera House night-time Vivid views.

The no-frills funnyman, just back from a recent European tour which included Oslo, Antwerp and Amsterdam, was paying strata levies of $5792 per quarter.

Barron retains an apartment around the corner in Ikon on Macleay Street, which cost $1,825,000 in 2008.

He may spend more time in the Southern Highlands, where he has an 8 hectare hideaway at Mount Murray, which cost $1.755 million in 2017. He once said that if he had more time, he’d take up bird watching.
