LA-BASED actor Simon Baker might have a new neighbour at his Bondi Beach bolthole, or perhaps he will move to secure three-quarters of the top floor of his low-rise apartment complex.
One of the complex’s other two apartments with rooftop patio has just been listed through Raine & Horne agent Hannah Bouskila for May 5 auction.
Set on the Ben Buckler peninsula in an art deco building of just seven, the 69sq m apartment on offer has two bedrooms, two bathrooms plus its all-important 66sq m roof terrace.
The roof terrace is all part of the package in the May 5 auction at Bondi.
Baker’s adjoining three-bedroom apartment spreads over 135sq m and takes up half of the roof, fitted with a covered barbecue kitchen.
It is a near-beachfront $2.63 million Bondi bolthole which Baker bought in 2014.
It’s unsure whether Baker has seen the auction board sign that went up this week in front of the two-storey block on Hastings Parade.
You’d imagine he’d have been called by his buyer’s agent Janne Sutcliffe.
The Logie award winning actor is regularly spotted enjoying Australia’s most famous beach whenever he’s here.
A sale to Baker would further increase the Mentalist star’s eastern suburbs property portfolio.
He paid $6.5m last July for a Bronte hillside home, despite having lived in LA with his wife Rebecca Rigg and their three children since the mid-1990s. He also owns in the Byron Bay hinterland.
The 45-year-old Baker has turned director, preparing for his coming film, an adaptation of Tim Winton’s disturbing novel Breath which he will star in and co-produce. The coastal setting has seen Baker film at Bronte Beach.
