Professional poker player Pongrass rolls dice on Cosmo penthouse after $11.4m record at auction

[ad_1]

7F/22 Knox St, Double Bay, has a $9m guide — considerably cheaper than its neighbour that sold for a building record of $11.4m at auction on Tuesday night.


A penthouse in Double Bay’s Stamford Cosmopolitan has sold for $11.4m — a record for the building — and now professional poker player Tom Pongrass and his wife, Jo, are rolling the dice on theirs.

Unit 7D/2-22 Knox St, which records show is owned by the Adams family, was highly desirable for downsizers with its 274sqm of living space and had two parties fighting over it at Damien Cooley’s auction rooms this week.

Sales agent Julian Hasemer said bidding opened at $11m — the price guide — and it was all wrapped up after four more bids of $100k.

7D/22 Knox St, Double Bay sold for a building record of $11.4m at auction on Tuesday night.


It has 274sqm of living space.


The Adams’s had owned it since 2014, paying $3.8m, and they’d worked with interior designer Melissa Collison Interiors to create a stunning haven with state-of-the-art features.

Yet the Pongrass penthouse at 7F is arguably a better buy, despite being a slightly smaller 230sqm, but in the north-east corner and superbly renovated by Poppy Tzaneros’s POCO Designs.
