Only two weeks after the Sydney Roosters star walked down the aisle with Chloe Esegbona at the glamorous Krinklewood Estate, Angus Crichton has sold his Rose Bay semi for $635,000 over expectations.
Under the hammer at Cooley Auctions, the three-bedroom house on Onslow St achieved $3.135m despite a pre-auction goal of $2.5m through listing agent Alex Lyons of Raine & Horne Double Bay.

“We just had a lot of competition on it. Interest rates got cut on the day and we can see now that sentiment has really been improving in the market,” Mr Lyons said.
“I’ve done over $100 million worth of sales just this past week.”
The NRL and State of Origin champion decided to list the property prior to tying the knot with plans of upsizing the family home.
It’s been a period of celebrations of late, on and off the field, with Crichton named yet again to don the blue jersey for the famous clash of the states.
