The sale of Gyngell's Bondi pad, listed through Richardson & Wrench’s Jason Boon, ends the media executive's ties to the beachside suburb where he started out selling beachwear and surfing equipment in the late 1980s.

The apartment is one of seven in an art-deco block that was previously owned by the Pryor family for four generations, since 1938.

Gyngell and McKinnon's investment was recently renovated and being leased for $1,300.
