Magazine maven Deborah Thomas has sold her Point Piper home to join the stampede of Sydneysiders moving to the bucolic surrounds of the Southern Highlands.
It was an off-market sale for her beachfront pad with no price revealed yet on property portals, but it is expected to have leveraged off the $4.5 million sale of another of the block’s art-deco apartments bought in April by Anna Mayo, of the Mayo hardware family.
Thomas will no doubt be missed by her local mates Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull, and Seven’s Bruce McWilliam, and likewise her neighbours in the block of six, among whom are Turnbull’s predecessor as the member for Wentworth, Peter King, and former Playboy magazine model Evelin Hegyesi.
Thomas, the former editor-in-chief of The Australian Women’s Weekly, purchased the three-bedroom spread in 2009 for $1.8 million when trading over from Annandale, and soon afterwards commissioned a complete redesign by architect Scott Weston, whose work was showcased in Belle magazine a decade ago.
Weston has been somewhat of a go-to among Sydney’s magazine editors who have also cashed in on this year’s property boom. The Queens Park home of former Vogue Australia editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements sold in March for $3 million, and former Qantas in-flight magazine editor-in-chief Susan Skelly sold her pad in Elizabeth Bay’s Birtley Towers in April for about $1.8 million.
