The doyenne of Australian theatre Robyn Nevin has sold her much-loved Paddington terrace for $1,315,000.

The three-bedroom Windsor Street terrace had been bought in 1983 for $145,000. Title Tattle seems to recall it was bought through her mother's generosity in giving her a big deposit.

Nevin and her partner, actor Nicholas Hammond, who played Friedrich von Trapp in the film The Sound Of Music, met during a 1987 Sydney Theatre Company production.

Their  two-bedroom 1960s-built Pearl Beach, Central Coast cottage that cost $190,000 in 1993 was sold at its $675,000 asking price through Stuart Gan of PRDnationwide  several years ago, with the couple, who spend much of their time working in theatre and film in Melbourne, signalling plans to buy a similar cottage in Victoria.

The Paddington terrace has been recently listed at a $1,190 a week rental through Cantor Real Estate.
