Graeme Murphy is a well-known Australian dance choreographer and under his leadership, he has lead Sydney Dance Company to rise as one of Australia's most successful dance companies.
On the other hand, only a few may know that he is also into real estate and according to Domain, he is scaling his portfolio down a bit. He has recently offered his Bundeena property to any interested buyer for $1.45 million to $1.5 million.
The north-facing Bundeena estate overlooking Port Hacking was designed Ardea Oosthuizen, a longtime friend and property co-owner. The property that is at 31 Crammond Avenue was originally bought in 1987 for only $107,000 but its location and its flexible floor plan that can transform the property to one or two separate residence are undoubtedly the two driving factors behind its price growth. Murphy and his wife have listed the estate with Debbie Donnelley of Phillips Pantzer Donnelley.
According to the listing, for a strikingly affordable private piece of Bundeena, Murphy's listing features breathtaking views of Port Hacking, two living areas, two kitchen, three bedrooms and three baths, low maintenance high ceiling, a driveway with an off-street parking for one car, passive solar design, good ventilation and delighting. It also boasts of a central deck that overlooks the water and offers a sight of the sea eagles and peregrine falcons along with other birds and the dolphins that are native to the area. Moreover, the property has been designed to be energy efficient. The place is said to be ideal for weekend retreats or a permanent residence.
Murphy, the former artistic director of the Sydney Dance Company who is married to longtime collaborator, Janet Vernon, has also sold his one-bedroom investment flat that is in Coogee six months ago to Kathryn Milliss and Mark Hopkins. The property fetched a whopping $1 million to filmmakers.
