Simon Baker has purchased a ‘$6million home at Sydney’s Bondi Beach‘, a new report has claimed.

According to The Daily Telegraph on Sunday, the Australian actor bought the three-bedroom cottage after it was offered for sale by social commentator Ruth Ostrow.

The property, which also contains three bathrooms, is set in lush tropical gardens and boasts ocean views from the loft office space.

There is an idyllic patio area for Simon, 52, to entertain guests, while interiors take on a neutral colour palette with polished wooden floorboards, whitewashed walls, high ceilings and timber accents.

The reported purchase comes after Simon and his ex-wife Rebecca Rigg, 54, reportedly sold their three-bedroom home in Bronte, Sydney, for almost $17million.

According to Domain in September, the former couple shocked property watchers with the lucrative sale, especially given they purchased the home for just $6.5million back in 2015.

Simon and Rebecca, who announced their separation in January last year after 29 years of marriage, were said to be ‘quietly shopping’ the property before a buyer was confirmed.

Boasting sweeping ocean views and located in one of Sydney’s most sought-after suburbs – the former Baker residence offers the ultimate in coastal living.

A number of images were listed by CoreLogic following the sale in 2015, with reports revealing the pair made no major improvements on the property after acquiring it.
