Fashionista influencer and model Christian Wilkins has sold his quirky Surry Hills home for $1.25m.
Wilkins, the son of TV presenter Richard Wilkins, had bought it for $1.025m in 2020.
The one-bedroom, one-bathroom terrace sits on a tight 65 sqm holding.
It came with unimplemented plans for Sarah Gilder-designed additions for a second bedroom and a rooftop terrace that were obtained in 2019 by previous owners Penelope Benton and Emma Price.
It had been marketed as eclectic when he bought the property at the corner of Corben and Foveaux Sts.

The recent marketing by BresicWhitney agent Nick Gill again suggested “you won’t find an entry-level house with more personality than this one”.
The home has a retro kitchen, plus a second level with study up a blue, metal, spiral staircase.
It sits on a 63 sqm corner holding with rear sandstone-lined courtyard.

Wilkins added a cocktail bar, which he says was a “secret weapon as it gives the party and its guests a focus point and the host an opportunity to shine”.
“Never feel your home need be magazine-perfect before you have those you love over to visit,” he said when doing an At Home with The Saturday Telegraph in 2022.
He painted the living room pink, his favourite colour.

Christian Wilkins’ home bar was his ‘secret weapon.
Before his purchase, Wilkins had lived at the Cremorne home of his entertainment reporter father Richard.
“I moved from the North Shore, which was so peaceful and quiet, to a main road in the city,” he said.
“It’s noisy even at 2am and I can never sleep, but I love it.
“I feel safe and accepted and I am so grateful for my community.”
