Film and TV director Rachel Perkins quickly sells Bondi Beach bungalow

The film and television director Rachel Perkins has quickly sold her former Bondi Beach bungalow on its second marketing attempt.

There was a $2.8 million guide through Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agent Debbie Donnelley for its scheduled February 29 auction, but it sold this week.

Perkins and her former partner, filmmaker Richard McGrath, sought $3 million in late 2018, when Sydney was still in the midst of a downturn.

There was only one bidder who offered $2.4 million.

The former couple paid $1.5 million in 2010 for the three-bedroom California bungalow.

Perkins, who directed outback crime drama Mystery Road, has spent $2.22 million on a freestanding home in Leichhardt. 

Late last year Perkins gave the ABC’s annual Boyer Lecture, which she titled The End of Silence.
