Grandson of late millionaire Twisties inventor lists $15m Clovelly home

Anthony Goodridge, the grandson of late millionaire property developer Isador Magid, and Anthony’s wife Daniella Goodridge, have put their Clovelly home on the market with a price guide of $15 million, as they plan to downsize.

Anthony’s mother is Nora Goodridge, the daughter of Isador, and the sister of Rich Lister Robert Magid who last week sold his Point Piper mansion for a figure around the $75 million guide on the same day the Reserve Bank hiked the cash rate to a 15-year high. Isador invented Twisties and later sold the rights to Darrell Lea before turning his attention to property.

Records show Anthony and Daniella, who previously owned a swim school in the east, bought the architecturally designed five-bedroom, four-bathroom house with a pool for $13.5 million in 2021. There are panoramic views across the Pacific Ocean and framed vistas of Wedding Cake Island from the upper level.

Leisure zones include an entertainer’s terrace, wine cellar, lower-level gym and sauna, while the interiors are modern with a Caesarstone kitchen, timber detail and terrazzo-tiled bathrooms.

Paul Langsam of Raine & Horne Double Bay, who holds the listing alongside Ben Langsam, said “the family home is in one of Clovelly’s premier streets, a sought-after location with breathtaking views”.

He said there’s been strong local and international enquiries, including from expats returning home, since the listing went live earlier this week.

Raised in Manchuria, Isador later moved to Melbourne, where in 1951 he and his father Alexander Magid introduced Twisties to Australia after importing machinery from the US in order to make them. They sold the machinery and the brand to Darrell Lea in 1955. Darrell Lea later sold the brand to The Smith’s Snackfood Co.

Isador was also behind the development of the Fountain Gate shopping centre in Melbourne’s Narre Warren, which became popular thanks to the Kath & Kim TV series. While the characters referenced Fountain Gate on the show, scenes were filmed at Westfield Southland in Cheltenham. Isador sold Fountain Gate in 1992 for $187 million, according to The Australian Financial Review.

In the year he died, Isador’s estimated wealth was $240 million, according to the paper.

An auction has been scheduled for the Clovelly home.

Bill Moss AO, one of Macquarie Bank’s best-known former executives, his wife Lata Moss, and his daughter Natalie Cooney, are the latest corporate types to have paid millions for a house-sized apartment in the exclusive Billyard Avenue development in Elizabeth Bay.

A sold sticker went up on the listing for the four-bedroom, four-bathroom unit, indicating a sale by private treaty on October 2. The sale price of $21.5 million was disclosed.

Eddie Mansour of Ray White Projects, Jason Boon and Geoff Cox of Richardson & Wrench Elizabeth Bay and Potts Point, all declined to comment on any aspect of the sale when contacted. However, the title shows a caveat has been lodged by Bill, Lata and Natalie.

Developed by North East Corp and P3-Living and designed by SJB architects, the apartment reinterprets art deco design with its curved surfaces, and offers a modern palette with honed marble, fluted stone, parquetry floors and statement lighting.

There is a full-length terrace with water views and a dry bar with a wine zone.

Bill can perhaps catch up on old business with retired Macquarie banker Peter Maher, who has also bought into the block. Other neighbours include yachtie and vice president of the Australian Olympic Committee Matt Allen, Tina Green, widow of hotelier Maurice Green, and Chris Coudounaris, lawyer and former business associate of former prime minister Paul Keating.

Bill, the former banking and property group head at Macquarie Bank, announced in 2007 that he would be leaving after 22 years with the financial giant. He retired with a payout of more than $40 million.

Bill is the founder and chairman of Boston Global, where his daughter Natalie and her husband Corey Cooney are directors. Bill is also the patron and founder of FSHD Global Research Foundation, which aims to find a cure for FSHD and improve muscle function.

The Billyard Avenue development won the 2026 UDIA (Urban Development Institute of Australia) NSW Award for Excellence in Design.

Mary Wong-Jenkings, the founder and director of strategy at Kyko Group, a property development and investment group in the office, retail, residential and hospitality sectors, is downsizing from her seven-bedroom, five-bathroom Randwick manor as it’s too big.

Records show Jenkings bought the restored 1891 abode for $10.75 million in 2023 from trophy home trader Louise Zavattaro. It’s now listed with a price guide of $10.5 million.

Zavattaro meticulously renovated the Victorian Italianate residence, adding an adjoining two-storey contemporary dwelling with off-form concrete and clean lines.

The properties can function independently or as one, with private entry and lift access available from the four-car basement.

Interiors feature spotted gum floorboards, Italian lighting, and Villeroy & Boch terrazzo bathrooms. There is a wine cellar and landscaped gardens.

The Randwick suburb record was broken in November last year when retired publicans Robert and Mary Lou Richards sold their historic Swan Isle, a 1906-built residence with landmark castellated towers, for $16.8 million.

Alexander Phillips and Gavin Lewis of Ray White Phillips & Co are accepting expressions of interest for Jenkings’ home.
