ABC political commentator Annabel Crabb and her husband Jeremy Storer have sold their Edwardian terrace in Marrickville, in Sydney‘s inner-west, for $2.8 million.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home went under the hammer last Saturday, fetching $300,000 more than its $2.5million price guide.
The ‘one-bid auction’ was said to have happened so quickly there was no interruption from the overhead flight path, reports Realestate.com.au.

Crabb, 49, who has hosted various shows for the public broadcaster including Back in Time for Dinner and Tomorrow Tonight, bought the home with her husband, a lawyer for the ABC, in 2008 for $1.125million.
They renovated the historic home, known as Wavertree, by adding a mint-green cooking area in the kitchen, which has featured in episodes of her ABC series Kitchen Cabinet.
Crabb, who has three children with Storer, hopes to buy a larger family home in the inner-west, Domain previously reported.
Wavertree has a style that blends Old World atmosphere with cosy charm.
Much of the original detail of the home has been immaculately preserved, including its ornate ceilings and grand bay windows.

Finished in stone and wood with skylights throughout, other features include a sunlit study with private balcony and a main bathroom with a freestanding clawfoot tub.
Another highlight is the wooden kitchen. Featuring a pantry ladder and a double-oven, its unique benchtop is made of recycled automotive glass.
The backyard offers a landscaped garden, a beautiful al fresco dining terrace paved with stone, and a barbecue area.
