Jodhi Meares, the ex wife of James Packer, has taken new steps to sell off her amazing Sydney harbourside property in ritzy Watson’s Bay.
The two-bathroom, two-bedroom two-storey home has been languishing on the market since October, 2024, after it was listed for a whopping $4.8million.
Former model Jodhi, 53, snapped up the heritage ‘beach shack’ in 2017 for a cool $2.75million.
The fashion designer has now given the 1880s era former fisherman’s cottage a ‘makeover’ reported The Wentworth Courier on Friday.
Agents told the publication that the property has received a new paint job and ‘fresh’ landscaping ahead of a scheduled auction next month.
Jodhi also dropped her former sales agents and recruited Raine and Horne Double Bay to handle the sale.

Just two months later, the brunette debuted her relationship with Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell.
The couple dated on-and-off before finally calling it quits in January 2020.
