The buyers of 38 Lang Rd, Centennial Park, have been revealed by updated property records.
Morgan Stanley banker Bryce Thompson and his JBWere analyst wife Renata Das have emerged as buyers of the $7.25m buyers of the Centennial Park home of former Wallaby Paul Darveniza.
The iconic grand residence at 38 Lang Rd, which also had a second residence behind on its 1080 block, sold for $7.25m on May 16 through Ray White Double Bay gun agent, Nic Krasnostein and colleague Alan Fettes.
The identity of the purchasers had been a mystery, but updated property records on settlement revealed Thompson and Das had made the savvy purchase.

They’d lived at in the six-bedroom home that sits behind elegant sandstone walls on Lang Rd for 23 years, with CoreLogic data showing they paid $1.6m in 1997.

Thompson and Das are moving from Paddington — they’re upgrading from the Windsor St home they bought for $3.18m in 2015.
But it’s understood that’s not set to hit the market as the couple are keeping it as an investment property.
Darveniza was one of seven Wallabies known as the “magnificent seven”.
They’d taken a stand against apartheid in South Africa in 1971 when they refused to play against the all-white Springboks that toured Australia.
The Australian government then stopped playing sport against South Africa, only resuming in 1994 when the race rules for sporting teams there changed.
