Adman James Cooper spends $11.5 million plus on Bellevue Hill home Allala
The Metropolis adman James Cooper and his wife, Rachel, a former Miss New Zealand, have reportedly snapped up the Bellevue trophy home, Allala.
The local paper, The Wentworth Courier suggested they secured it for between $11.5 million and $12 million.
The thoroughly modern Buyeast buyers' agents Carli Skurnik and Jayden Hurvitz announced the deal on Instagram.
The sellers fund manager Ari Droga and his architect wife, Lisa, had initially sought $14 million after they bought Bonnington (pictured below), elsewhere in Bellevue Hill last October.
The Drogas had listed the six-bedroom, two-storey family home after their $20.32 million purchase at auction of Bonnington from the loss taking art dealer John Schaeffer.
They’d owned the Cranbrook Road home for 13 years.
It’s only the third time the property has sold since 1923.
