Armytage first listed her holiday home at Hyams Beach in 2023.
Located on a pristine stretch of coastline right between Hyams Beach and Chinamans Beach, it had been listed with a price guide of $3.2 million.
Now, the renovated home was re-listed last week via Expressions of Interest, with a guide of $2.95 million to $3.1 million.
The new selling agent, Bradley Cocks from Drew Lindsay Sotheby's International Realty said the home's location was key, while Armytage had "done a great job with the interiors".
"There's also a lot of room to make improvements and add value," he said.
"She doesn't have any purpose for the property any more, which is why she's selling it."
The three-bedroom house boasts views of Jervis Bay and sits on 658 square metres.
It also features two bathrooms, a light-filled kitchen, a front deck, and large, double living areas.
The large double lock-up garage, which already has undercover, carport-style parking, could be converted into a studio, games room, or sleep-out.
It has been utilised as a private weekender and holiday rental property, commanding a nightly rate of $1200.
Cotality records show the television host bought the home in 2018 for $1.765 million.
A new Colorbond roof was added to the home in 2024.
Property history
Armytage has established an impressive property portfolio during recent years.
In March 2024, Armytage bought a renovator at Moss Vale for $1.3 million.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, original 1960s-built home sits on 1949 square metres, and features timber cladding and a tile roof.
It was reportedly the first time the property had changed hands since the 1960s.
Cotality records show the home was sold after 24 days on the market.
The renovation project is a short drive from the Berrima farm Armytage shared with Lavender.
Cotality records also show that in 2020, Armytage sold her Burrawang weekender for $3.1 million, having bought it in 2017 for $2.2 million.
In 2020, Armytage sold her three-bedroom North Bondi home for $3.15 million. She had bought the house in 2014 for $2.15 million.
"Designed to celebrate the allure of beachside living, this private freestanding home is embraced by lush tropical gardens affording a sense of peace and privacy that's hard to find in this prized pocket of North Bondi," the marketing said.
Armytage also purchased a two-bedroom apartment at Rushcutters Bay for $1.575 million in 2021.
