Sunrise presenter Edwina Bartholomew has sold her Woollahra apartment for $1.57 million, well above the $1.35 million reserve price, just days after sharing an encouraging health update. The 41-year-old bought the two-bedroom, one-bathroom property in 2009 for $660,000 and had been renting it out for up to $1,000 per week.
Bartholomew told The Daily Telegraph she was 'sad to see it go' but plans to invest the profits into a major renovation project in regional New South Wales. She and her husband Neil Varcoe are converting a 177-year-old former pub in Carcoar, purchased for $2.1 million in 2022, into a boutique hotel.
The sale comes as Bartholomew revealed she is nearing 'molecular remission' from chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), which she announced live on air in September 2024. In an Instagram post, she said the cancer is 'almost undetectable now' thanks to daily medication and part-time work at Sunrise.
She acknowledged her good fortune, stating: 'I still need to take tablets for the next few years... but it is fantastic news.' Bartholomew previously described the diagnosis as 'a gift' that put life into perspective, noting she avoided chemotherapy.
