Although speedy, the pace of the sale wasn’t quite as extreme as last time it sold three years ago — the Rexs had snapped it up after just five days on the market for $11.2m, smashing the suburb record at the time.
They’d bought it from the Bronte Surf Club president Basil Scaffidi and wife Catherine, via Phillips, so little surprise they chose Phillips with Lewis this time to sell it.

The Tamarama market has moved on since 2017, with the suburb record now $15.75m after last year’s sale of the Gaerloch Ave home of Annie Conley, daughter of the late aviation pioneer and philanthropist John Conley, to Karen Michael, the daughter of the late property mogul David Burger.
The Rexs are now downsizing.
