Hollywood star Rachel McAdams’ Sydney hideaway hits the market

Woollahra’s leafy backstreets have quietly hosted some serious star power—most recently, Hollywood actor Rachel McAdams. Now, the mid-century stunner she called home while filming in Sydney is up for grabs.

The five-bedroom property offers a rare slice of Palm Springs style in the heart of the eastern suburbs.

Built in 1959 and given a fresh life by architect Iain Halliday of BKH, the home is a clear standout from its slick, modern neighbours.

That point of difference may have been what drew McAdams in while working on Send Help, a new horror film directed by Sam Raimi and co-starring Dylan O’Brien.

Realestate.com.au reported that the actor paid around $14,500 per week during her stay.

Beyond the celebrity appeal, the home delivers open-plan living spaces that flow out to a sunny terrace, a 13-metre heated pool, and enough privacy to suit even the most publicity-shy visitor.

The current owners, Natasha Stanley and Kingsley Smith are behind The London Hotel in Paddington and Bondi’s China Diner.

The property is listed for sale by EOI with price expectations around $16million.
