A four-storey townhouse in Prahran, previously owned by former AFL player Chris Judd and his wife Rebecca, has recently changed hands once again. The property was sold by the Judds in 2016 for $1.96 million, with a portion of the proceeds going towards the purchase of a transitional housing property for a drug rehabilitation charity.
The townhouse, located at 29 Hinton Lane, was renovated and refurbished by Rebecca Judd for her online home style series, The Style School. The property features four bedrooms, a marble-fitted kitchen, pink bathroom tiles, and a vertical garden in one of the outdoor entertaining areas. Other standout features include bi-fold doors, a balcony, a walk-in wardrobe, and a light well with a water feature.
According to McGrath St Kilda’s Michael Townsend, an investor purchased the townhouse when it was first put on the market seven years ago. The property was rented out before being sold again earlier this month for $2.2 million to a different investor. The fixtures, fittings, furniture, and artworks that were styled by Rebecca Judd for her show were also included in the sale.
Townsend mentioned that the townhouse’s location and lifestyle attributes were a significant factor in attracting investors. The property is situated close to Chapel and Greville Streets, Prahran Market, and public transport.
This townhouse holds sentimental value for the Judds, as it was their first home together after Chris Judd’s move from Perth to Carlton in 2007. Rebecca Judd is a businesswoman, model, television presenter, and speech pathologist.
With its appealing design and prime location, McGrath St Kilda believes that if the property had been taken to the market now, there would be significant interest from potential buyers.
Overall, the four-storey Prahran townhouse, once owned by Chris and Rebecca Judd, has recently sold for the second time since the Judds’ initial sale in 2016. The property’s unique features and connection to the celebrity couple make it an attractive investment opportunity.
