Film critic and TV producer Margaret Pomeranz has sold her amazing beachfront cottage on the NSW Central Coast after listing it for $4.5million.
Pomeranz, 74, bought the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in 1995 for $345,000 while she was a co-host of The Movie Show on SBS with David Stratton.
Located in the tiny fishing village of Patonga, 96.2km north of Sydney, the home was sold to an unknown buyer for an undisclosed sum close to the asking price.

Surrounded by bushland, the area is known as one of the Central Coast’s most exclusive post codes, reports Domain.
The sale of Pomeranz’s property ranks as the second highest in the area after power-tool wholesaler David Mills scored just over $6million for his home last year.
Named ‘Wylena’, the charming, light-filled getaway has a holiday feel.
Built on 443sqm of land, the single-storey home has 18m of beach frontage, providing ocean views of Brisk Bay and the lighthouse at nearby Palm Beach.
Highlights include an open-plan design, floor-to-ceiling windows, a large built-in library bookcase and a wrap-around beachfront deck.

There is also a sunroom that could double as a home office, as well as a spacious kitchen with stone benchtops.
Meanwhile, Pomeranz is rumoured to have splashed out $3million on a smaller property that fronts onto nearby Patonga Creek.
Pomeranz first rose to fame as the host and producer of The Movie Show, which debuted on SBS in 1986.

She and co-host Stratton were a ratings winner for the network as they reviewed new film releases each week, and interviewed stars and filmmakers.
In 2004 they took the format over to the ABC as At the Movies.
Their final episode went to air on December 9, 2014.
