For someone who no longer lives permanently in Sydney, Nicole Kidman likes to take a deep-pocketed interest in our local real estate.
Despite being based in the United States’ country music capital Nashville, Kidman and her husband Keith Urban now claim half a dozen apartments in harbourside Milsons Point.
The latest settled this week to take her tally in the one building to more than $27.5 million.
A three-bedroom spread on level 15 of the landmark Latitude building is Kidman’s latest purchase for $7.725 million, which like her other apartments are held in the name of corporate interests fronted by her childhood friend Annette Rechner.
The purchase – not far from her mother Janelle’s home on the lower north shore – is the most expensive in the building after one of the penthouses that had previously sold for $8 million was on-sold for a loss two years ago by billionaire pub magnate Chris Morris and his wife Sharron Sills at $7.65 million.
The Hollywood A-lister’s latest digs was sold privately by co-founder of North Shore Coaching College Andy Mak.
Kidman and Urban’s holding in the building now totals six apartments, of which their crowning glory is the penthouse they bought from Mark Bouris for $6 million in 2009.
It was consolidated with a $7 million pad next door in 2012 to create a super-spread for their Sydney visits.
That leaves three other apartments on the floors below, picked up for $2.68 million, $2.78 million and $1.35 million in more recent years.
