Billyard Gardens, Elizabeth Bay penthouse sold for record price

The two level harbourfront penthouse in the Elizabeth Bay 1962 strata block Billyard Gardens has been sold.

The two storey space at 19/8-10 Billyard Avenue was designed by Alexander Michael in the Billyard Gardens complex.

With striking entry foyer of Pietra Grey marble floors, the apartment has three double bedrooms with built-ins, and three designer bathrooms.

There is triple garaging, plus shared harbour pool and jetty.

“After 300 days we finally sold this for a very respectable record breaking price,” said Ballard Property selling agent Paul Elphron. It was a record price for an apartment in a 1960s strata, he advised, without a price disclosure. 

The vendor was Forager Funds chief Jeff Weeden and his partner Gareth Bowler who bought it nine years ago for $4.7 million.

Ballard’s Paul Ephron and Clint Ballard had double-digit expectations which were achieved.
