New Zealand\u2019s former prime minister Sir John Key and his wife Lady Bronagh\u200b became Sydney\u2019s newest high-end home owners this week when they took possession of a $5.7 million harbourside apartment in McMahons Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Auckland-based couple are not expected to take up residence in the 129-square-metre pad despite having already waited three years for it to be complete since buying it off the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

No sooner did Lady Bronagh settle on her new three-bedroom home than Ray White Lower North Shore agents Tim Abbott and David Gillan have put it back up for grabs, this time for the 2020 price of $6.5 million to $7 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir John made the shock decision to quit NZ\u2019s top job and politics altogether in 2016, and the following year the couple sold their Auckland mansion on a two-year settlement for $23.5 million to little-known Lianzhong Chen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time the couple\u00a0planned\u00a0to downsize to a\u00a0new home built on what was previously their tennis court, and\u00a0added the Sydney apartment<\/a>\u00a0in developer Rob Moore\u2019s exclusive harbourside block The\u00a0Bradfield that same year into the bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
