Sydney actor and producer Claudia Karvan has sold her Bondi Beach apartment for $908,000 through Raine & Horne.

Karvan, who has lived for eight years in a warehouse at Redfern with her husband, Jeremy Sparks, and two children, bought the two-bedroom apartment for $285,000 in 1997 from former restaurateur Sue Burrows.

It's been described as "more like a semi in layout and ambiance" by its marketing agent Mary Anne Cronin and Sam Ryba at Raine & Horne Bondi Beach.

"We sold the property for a fantastic result......for $58,000 over reserve," Sam Ryba said.

The two-bedroom Art Deco apartment with decking is set on the top floor of a block of four on Beach Road.

Before Karvan's purchase the flat had previously traded at $235,000 in 1995; $165,000 in 1991 and $85,000 in 1987.

Some nine parties registered to bid for the first-floor 1925 unit, with bidding kicking off at $800,000.

It's in a block of four units in Beach Road.
