Laura Sharrad and her husband Max have officially sold her Henley Beach home.
The former beachside home of celebrity chef Laura Sharrad and her husband Max has changed hands in an almost $2m deal.
The couple sold their Henley Beach home back in August for an undisclosed price.
Now the sale has settled, property records show the buyers paid $1.891m for it – with $97,835 in stamp duty.
The circa 1915 character home at 17 Anthony St hit the market in July with a price guide of $1.8m.
The three-time MasterChef Australia contestant – twice a runner up before returning to win the competition in 2025 – and her husband farewelled their home of four years in September.
Ms Sharrad posted a video to social media at the time showing them placing a “sold” sticker on the for sale sign at the front of the property.
The couple lived in the character home at 17 Anthony St for four years.
The home sold for $1.891m, property records show.
“And just like that, our family home becomes another’s forever home,” she said in the post.
“This was Florence’s first home. The place she came home to, took her first steps in, and where we made so many of our favourite memories as a family.
“Putting this sticker up feels like the end of such a special chapter, but we’re so excited for everything that’s waiting for us on our little country road.
“Thank you for being our first family home Anthony St.
“Signed, sealed, delivered by the best Thomas Crawford, Crawford Doran Real Estate.”
The house spans two levels and has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple living areas and an outdoor entertainment space with built-in pizza oven.
Its kitchen and outdoor area were well known to Ms Sharrad’s social media followers, with many of her cooking videos filmed in the house.
The couple, who co-own Adelaide restaurants Fugazzi Bar & Dining Room and Nido Bar & Pasta, decided to sell the home to move to the Adelaide Hills.

The home went under contract last month.
It was due to go under the hammer in August but selling agent Thomas Crawford said just hours before it would no longer be auctioned as it would be “contracted in advance”.
While the auction didn’t go ahead, Mr Doran said the property was still sold as part of the auction process.
“We called for best and final offers prior to the scheduled auction, and the property was contracted through that process,” he said after it went under contract.
“The auction campaign worked. We simply had a very strong buyer who wasn’t in a position to compete under auction conditions, but who we very much wanted to include in the competition.
“Calling for best and final offers prior to auction allowed us to bring that buyer into the mix alongside the auction-ready buyers and ultimately achieve a stronger final result.
“The auction wasn’t called off, rather it was called in early.”
