Church Point

<html><body>
Helena Harris, the award winning co-creator of the Hi-5 children's television show, has listed her resort-style Church Point home. 
She and partner Martin Perrott have renovated the bushland home since they paid $1.85 million in 2009.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-church+point-124092682" target="_blank">Offering 600 square metres of internal space</a>, the architect designed home sits on its 4046 square metre north-facing block with heated infinity pool and spa overlooking Pittwater. Initially known as Tumbarumba, it has been twice renovated since built in 1999.
The gourmet kitchen now comes with eight built-in Miele appliances including coffee machine, induction cooktop, dishwashers and warming drawer.
Iolanda Trovatello at Wiseberry Mona Vale has a price guide of high $2 million to low $3 million for the five bedroom home with three marble bathrooms. 
Sales at Church Point have ranged between $1.1 million and $4.6 million so far this year, with just the five homes currently on the market.
It is one of Sydney's slowest selling suburbs at around 120 days on market, compared with the 26 day Sydney average.
Harris' name is synonymous with successful children's television across the world, and not only for Hi-5.
She was also the originating producer of worldwide hit Bananas in Pyjamas in 1992 as a spin-off for the ABC's flagship children's show, Play School.
She even named two of the bananas' teddy bear friends after her own children.
Helena formed the children’s television production company Kids Like Us with the television executive Posie Graeme-Evans in the mid-1990s with Hi-5 soon pitched to Channel 9 as "The Big Gig meets Countdown on Play School".
Hi-5 enjoyed international success, being broadcasted in 118 countries around the world along with local versions produced in the United States. 
The show won multiple Logies - that sit prominantly on a mantlepiece at the McCarrs Creek Road home.
There were also Emmy nominations for Harris who said good-quality television activated children's imagination.
Harris also helped create the mascots for the Sydney 2000 Olympics - Ollie the kookaburra, Syd the platypus and Millie the echidna.

Bananas in Pyjamas and Hi-5 producer lists in Church Point

<html><body>
It has certainly been an active time at the normally sleepy Church Point with Helena Harris, the award winning co-creator of the Hi-5 children's television show, quickly finding a buyer. 
Harris and partner Martin Perrott had renovated the bushland home since they paid $1.85 million in 2009. 
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property/21a-mccarrs-creek-rd-church-point-nsw-2105" target="_blank">Iolanda Trovatello at Wiseberry Mona Vale</a> had a price guide of $2.9 million to $3.1 million for the five bedroom home with three marble bathrooms.
It sold within three weeks of listing. 
Harris' name is synonymous with successful children's television across the world, being also the originating producer of worldwide hit Bananas in Pyjamas in 1992.
The show won multiple Logies - and they sit prominantly on a mantlepiece at the McCarrs Creek Road home.
It has been one of Sydney's slowest selling suburbs at around 120 days on market, compared with the 26 day CoreLogic Sydney average.
One reason Church Point got the slow seller tag was miner Tony Haggarty. He took forever to sell ​his six bedroom Church Point retreat with its most recent marketing campaign extended over 10 months.
He secured $3,675,000 for the Walker Place offering with jetty having initially sought $5 million when it first listed on another marketing campaign in 2014.
Haggarty, the former chief executive of Whitehaven Coal, bought it in 2007 at $2.85 million.
The suburb has seen a record price paid when the Schebesta family bought an imposing home for $4.6 million.
The home on an elevated 1600 square metre block was designed by Lyn Frohlich with billiard room and home theatre.
Some of the five bedrooms open onto a generous wrap around balcony with panoramic Pittwater views.
There's a heated salt-water swimming pool, outdoor spa and alfresco kitchen.
Its purchase followed the family's longtime one bedroom fisherman's cottage on Scotland Island being sold for $840,000.

Church Point trophy home listing with $4 million plus hopes

<html><body>
A five level waterfront at Church Point is set to be sold for the first time in nearly three decades.
The home at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-church+point-128415002" target="_blank">196 McCarrs Creek Road</a> last traded for $450,000 in 1989.
Spanning five levels, the home has four bedrooms, four bathroom, a private jetty and pontoon and an outdoor spa.
Knight Frank agent Deb Cullen and Richard Sholl are marketing the home. 
Cullen said the property is expected to attract interest from high net worth individuals both within Australia and overseas.

“The contemporary retreat is privately situated in a desirable location with breath-taking water and national park views. 
"The pinnacle of Northern Beaches living, it boasts six decks making it the ideal home for those that enjoy alfresco entertainment. 
Richard Sholl said the property was the first of a small group of contemporary homes built on this particular stretch of McCarrs Creek Road.
“Since the house was built in 1999 Council regulations in the area have tightening significantly, with block coverage limit now 50% less. 
"The council building line permitted this house to be constructed considerably closer to the water than older neighbouring buildings. 
"This paved the way to provide expansive views, beautiful use of natural light and greater privacy. 
"The house combines modern casual elegance, appropriate to waterfront living, along with the warmth and character of a comfortable home. 
"It is an attractive proposition for prospective buyers as the home has a versatile floor plan that lends itself to separate accommodation and allows for extensions in the future.”
