Former rugby star’s Neutral Bay apartment is up for grabs

REAL ESTATE

No. 3/13 Baden St, Neutral Bay.

PLAYING 18 tests for Australia is an amazing feat, and Dr John O’Gorman has earned enormous respect for his time with the Australian Rugby Union, as well as his great performance on the field.

He’s also well known among the football fraternity for having what might be called the unofficial ARU wine bar — his apartment in Neutral Bay. Members from the football years were very welcome to share a red on the balcony.

REAL ESTATE

Many a well-known name has supped at this waterfront property.

Phil Harry AM, former president of the ARU (one of the many roles he has held in the game), was a regular.

But also spotted here was one of the most famous faces on our screens — former TV great Channel Nine’s Brian Henderson was also known to enjoy a little quiet time on the balcony.

REAL ESTATE

The two-bedroom property is for sale with Ray White, Lower North Shore.

A great position (you feel like you’re actually over the water), great memories and now a potentially great purchase. The two-bedroom home at 3/13 Baden Rd is on the ground (water?) floor with an unobstructed view and access to the waterfront parkland. All this plus the convenience of a waterside stroll to the Kurraba Point ferry means this would be a super pleasant commute into the CBD.

REAL ESTATE

You don’t even have to get out of bed for the views.

The really surprising thing here is the amount of on-title veranda/outside space. If I were an Airbnb person (which I’m not — to me a holiday means hot and cold running room service) I would very possibly pay a lotof money to stay here.

Ray White has this one and it’s up for auction this week.

Winston Peters accused of 'race-baiting' attack on Chinese air crew

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is being accused of "race-baiting" over an attack on Chinese airline crew moving into a former special housing area that was designed to help solve Auckland's housing crisis . In a statement headed " Mt Albert state housing land now in Chinese hands", Peters said some of the former Housing NZ land at 98-130 Haverstock Rd in Sandringham "went to China Southern Airlines people from China and not to ease the housing shortage for Auckland residents". He attached a photo showing a banner in front of a house saying in Chinese and English: "Warmly welcome the leadership from Aviation Services Department to China Southern Airlines Crew Apartment in Auckland, New Zealand." The property was given Special Housing Area status in May 2014, with a requirement 10 per cent of homes must be "affordable. These areas were disestablished when the new Auckland Unitary Plan came into force last Septe...

Atlanta time travel made possible through photo collection

Atlanta is a city of change, with construction constantly reshaping the urban realm. Buildings rise, buildings fall, and as the population of the city grows, so too has the skyline. Now, RentCafe has assembled 10 amazing, interactive “then-and-now” photos to highlight how Atlanta has been reshaped over the last 150 years. While some scenes are hardly recognizable, others illustrate how the city has actually saved some of its oldest structures. Off to the visual journey: ^ The first view is of Margaret Mitchell Square at the intersection of Peachtree and Forsyth Streets in the heart of downtown. The Candler Building in the background still stands today and is being converted into a hotel, while the narrow tower in the foreground of the 1938 image was reduced to just three stories to prevent its collapse during construction of Peachtree Center MARTA Station , which sits below the site. ^ Nothing remains today from this view of Whitehall Street in 1864. Now known as Peachtree, the road...

By JULIE BYKOWICZ Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- Trying to recapture the Republican fervor that helped put him in office, President Donald Trump travels to Yuma, Arizona, on Tuesday to visit the nation's southern border and to Phoenix to rally thousands of supporters in a state where he's trashed both Republican senators.
