Sunrise star Sam Armytage reveals the details of her emotional move

Sunrise star Samantha Armytage recently sold her multi-million dollar Bondi pad after getting engaged to Bowral businessman, Richard Lavender. 

And the 44-year-old has now revealed the details of her emotional move.

Writing in her Stellar magazine column on Sunday, Sam expressed that she was worried the stress of moving would overwhelm her, and tried to streamline her possessions by using the Marie Kondo method – ‘does it spark joy?’ 

‘I Googled ”how to move house without stress” to get some tips. And they were: on moving day, lie down. Try not to cry. Cry. A lot,’ she wrote.  

Despite being the busy anchor of a breakfast TV show, Sam said her country, ‘control-freak’ leanings meant she wanted to tackle packing by herself. 

In fact, she did most of the packing herself as opposed to paying for removalists.

‘Why do I wait ’til just before the removalist arrives to disconnect the TV and box the twenty-thousand cords connected to it these days?’ she lamented.  

‘In a last-minute panic I just jam it all in a cardboard box anyway,’ she added. 

Sam admitted the move was more hectic than she would have liked.

Despite the stress of the move, Sam is no doubt thrilled as she prepares to marry Richard Lavender.       

Sam just sold her North Bondi home for $3.15 million after being on the market for only 12 days. 

It was sold for well-above its price guide of $2.8 million.  

Later, Sam sold her five-bedroom Burrawang cottage for a whopping $3.1 million.

The TV star made a significant profit after purchasing the home for $2.2 million back in 2017.  

It’s not clear where the TV star will now be living, but it’s assumed that she will be residing with fiancé Richard at his Berrima estate.  

The journalist announced her engagement to Richard on Sunday, June 21.
