Rachel Perkins and Richard McGrath selling in Bondi Beach

Publish date: 2024-06-30

THE Australian film and television director, producer, and screenwriter Rachel Perkins and her former partner, filmmaker Richard McGrath, are selling their beautifully renovated Bondi Beach home.

The four-bedroom, two-bathroom classic beach house on almost 300 sqm at 162 Hall St has just hit realestate.com.au with a price guide in the “high twos” through Belle Property Bondi Junction’s Daniel Gillespie and Nicholas Kennan.

Ms Perkins, who is the daughter of the late Aboriginal activist Charlie Perkins, is known for her films Radiance (1998), One Night the Moon (2001), Bran Nue Dae (2010), and Jasper Jones (2017).

Just 400m from great cafes and the beach, the home has undergone a dramatic transformation since the former couple purchased it for $1.5 million in 2010.

The back has been opened up with a new kitchen — with Caesarstone benchtops and European appliances — and bathrooms.

And the property has been landscaped, with a new deck added and the studio redone.

There’s the potential to do further work, with council-approved plans for an architecturally designed second storey with another bedroom and bathroom.

It the lack of off-street parking worries you in busy Bondi, there’s the potential for a car space provided you seek council approval.

It’s listed as a forthcoming auction, if it’s not snapped up quickly beforehand
