Barry Humphries’ three-bedroom apartment in Sydney has sold, one year after the comedian’s death.

According to The Daily Telegraph, Humphries’ family have accepted a $6.1million offer from Romano and Patricia Lacono.

The property, which is located in the famous Quay West block, has panoramic views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

It features an expansive living and dining area and two bathrooms, one with a spa.

The level 30 apartment is located in a complex that has a pool, sauna, spa, parking and 24-hour concierge service.
