A FITNESS entrepreneur and self-proclaimed ‘social media influencer’ has paid $2.627 million for a magnificent colonial home in Camp Hill — the biggest residential sale in the suburb in nearly a decade.
Nathaniel Anthony, owner of fitness clothing and accessories brand, Muscle Nation, bought the property at 99 Newman Avenue with plans to renovate the existing house and redevelop part of the site.
The sale marks the biggest residential transaction in Camp Hill since a mansion at 86 Princess Street, Camp Hill, set the record in 2008 when it sold for $3 million.

It had been beautifully restored in line with its original charm and character, featuring a double Gable facade and side veranda — which serves as a tennis viewing platform — flared and skirted bay windows and stucco Californian bungalow style pylons.
The house was designed and built in 1932 by an architect called Vera Leggett.
Coincidentally, it was sold in 1994 to another architect, Jayne Hackett and her husband Tim, who paid just $335,000 for it.
