The sale negotiations came as Cumani jetted off to San Diego for the Breeders Cup’, where she will appear on the ITV UK coverage.
The apartment had been bought as their city bolthole for $2.48 million in 2016 when the couple, who have a four year old son, were based in Scone.
The penthouse in the award-winning Pindari complex was marketed as having house-like proportions with designer interiors.
The 290sqm apartment features a full-width entertainer’s balcony against a private treetop backdrop, accessed off the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. The accommodation wing has three bedrooms, all with full-width balcony space.
The apartment became a $1900-a-week rental in 2017, which eased to $1550 during the early stages of the pandemic.
Cumani, who was born in the UK, has had to appear on the Victorian Racing Club Spring Carnival via Zoom for the past two years.
She is the daughter of acclaimed Italian-born horse trainer Luca Cumani, and sister of trainer Matt Cumani, who is based in Ballarat
