Jonathan ChancellorDecember 7, 2020
The historic sandstone cottage, Jeeda at Palm Beach has been sold again and at same price as last time.
The buyer this time was neighbour and architect Susan Rothwell through David Edwards at LJ Hooker. Chinese interests bought the Sunrise Road property from the art dealer Roger McIlroy, the former head of Christie's in Australia in 2014 for $4.32 million.
The three bedroom, two bathroom cottage, which had been in the McIlroy family since 1922, sits on a 1534 sqm site. It was approved for demolition in 2012 by Pittwater Council.
The site now provides one of the last prime building sites of Sunrise Hill, where Susan has been quite active designing for the summer set.
