Heartbroken supermodel Gemma Ward has sold her beachside property less than a month after tenant Lanell Latta was stabbed to death inside.
Ms Ward last year paid $1.6 million for the two-bedroom home in Avalon on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
She had plans to renovate and extend the beach shack with her husband David Letts, but has now sold the home only four days after advertising began.
Located on a 1000 square metre block, the home was pre-approved for plans by architect Atelier Haefeli to turn it into a dream house, The Daily Telegraph reported.

Opting to sell after the murder which shocked the small beach-side community, Ms Ward accepted a pre-auction offer of $1.65 million and did not make a profit.
The property is perched on a hill on Marine Drive, surrounded by trees and with access to Tallow Beach.
Ms Ward was leasing the property to Lanell Latta, 50, before she was murdered there in September.

The hairdresser’s son, Joel Woszatka, 25, was charged with his mother’s murder after being arrested nearby soon after police were called to the scene of the killing.

The Perth-born supermodel, who dated Australian actor Heath Ledger before his death, quickly rose to the top and was considered the industry’s new ‘it girl’ in the late 2000s.
She was ranked as the world’s 10th highest earning model by Forbes in 2007 before deciding to step away from the limelight.
In 2014, Ms Ward returned to the runway at the Spring/Summer 2015 show during Milan Fashion Week.
