No price is being given but fashion designer Lisa Ho and ragtrader Philip Smouha have finally sold their 380-square-metre retail premises in Queen Street, Woollahra.

The three-storey 1905 building (pictured above) with rear lane access has three separate lease spaces.

Pauline Goodyer from GoodyerDonnelley Real Estate  persisted on the listing having initially offered it in 2007 with $6 million-plus hopes.

The 222-square-metre holding that cost $4.5 million in 2004 was back for sale from April this year with hopes the couple would secure buying interest at around their 2004 purchase price.

Featuring a handsome façade and impressively proportioned rooms with soaring patterned ceilings and superb period details, it spans three levels as well as a basement.

Lisa Ho had the ground floor retail outlet and the second floor hairdressing salon had been empty since last December.

The queen of Australian fashion Collette Dinnigan has given Woollahra's burgeoning fashion precinct a fillip since the opening of her store on the Queen Street retail strip in June last year.
