A Bondi house has sold for $7.7m, $2.2m above the price guide, after one open home.
The home had a $5.5m price guide for the four-bedroom, three-bathroom “contemporary beach house” at 55 Imperial Avenue.
The result was also almost $2.7m above the previous street record of $5.01m — for a double-fronted Federation house on a 565 sqm block at No. 28 in 2016. And a record for the whole south Bondi pocket.
The original home on the 525sqm block was sold in 2014 for $2.73m, and was redesigned by architect Brien Kwong and interior designer Talia Nemes (Blue Label Design) for the 2016 rebuild.
