International comedian Celeste Barber and her husband Api Robin have sold their former Central Coast home.
The couple, now based at Tweed Heads, previously called Long Jetty home for five years before making the move north in 2019.
They paid $565,000 for the five-bedroom home in 2014, when Barber and Robin, a tree surgeon, had two young children.
The two-level home was built in the 1980s on just over 500sq m.
It has its main living, with an adjoining sun room, on the second level.
