Rove McManus buys $6.4 million Bronte hillside home
The breakfast radio presenter Rove McManus and his wife, actor Tasma Walton, have found their eastern suburbs coastal property.
They've splashed out on a five bedroom Bronte beach house with beach and ocean views.
It is all quite hush hush, being sold pre-auction, but on settlement, it's likely to show the purchase price as $6,415,250. It last sold for $2 million in 2000.
They been thought to have bought in Coogee, but instead secured an 1920's architect redesigned beach house on a very private 740 sqm.
The five bedroom house comes with a custom-fitted home office and library.
There a temperature controlled wine cellar and a self-contained studio.
All quite LA, where they have kept a house.
The three time Gold Logie award winning TV presenter and radio star was seeking a shorter commute time to his 2Day FM studio in the city.
The couple sold in Avalon in June for around $3 million.
They owned the home, with district views, since 2011 when he bought it for $2.57 million.
The couple returned from the United States last year where he hosted a new game show Lie Detectors, in which audience members decide which of the three comedians is telling the truth.
He also hosted a segment called "Rove Across America" on The Tonight Show.
