The model, who is with the Chic Management agency with fashion shoots for Lorna James and Cotton On, spent $1.025 million on an two-bedroom, one-bathroom Art Deco apartment.
Located just around the corner from Seven Ways’ newly rejuvenated boutique retail precinct, the unit is on the top floor of a 1930s block of eight.
The 65sqm apartment comes with high ornate ceilings, decorative joinery and polished floorboards, with a sunny window seat. It comes with luxurious bathroom with Kaldewei bath amid honed marble hexagon mosaic tiles.

Bondi Beach currently has 42 properties for sale, and 226 properties for rent, as the Airbnb COVID-19 crisis is still creating income distress for some landlords.
It was 277 rental properties available in early April, and 337 by late April.
Based on a moving five years of sales, Bondi Beach had a bullish compound price growth in of 7.9 per cent for units, according to realestate.com.au in late March. That is down to 6.5 per cent.

The median two bedroom price sits at $1,215,000. Some 160 units sold last year, which was down on 2018 when 170 units sold. The busiest years of 2012 to 2014 saw turnover just short of 300 sales.
It appears the Avalon-based James bought especially well, and at under vendor expectations, as she had a smart property adviser guide her through the recent post-auction negotiations. Her boyfriend is Warren Ginsberg, the Ray White Double Bay associate director who is ranked the Ray White network’s second highest salesperson in NSW.
