Amaysim co-founder Peter O'Connell spends $4.25 million in Bowral
Having sold his city home to Hamish and Zoe Blake, Peter O’Connell the co-founder of telecomms giant Amaysim Australia, has spent big in the Southern Highlands.
He’s emerged as the $4.25 million buyer of the Bowral cottage transformed by the serial renovator Jenny Rose-Innes.
Rose-Innes, who wrote Australian Designers at Home, and the more recent bestseller, British Designers at Home, had paid $1,275,000 in 2015, having found the neglected cottage on an evening walk with dogs, Miss Penny the schitzu and Fergus the schnauzer.
Marketed as a Connecticut-style home, the weatherboard-style residence has three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Late last year O’Connell sold his longtime Vaucluse home to the comedian Hamish Blake and his business owner wife, and ironically the Bowral-born Zoe Foster-Blake, for $8,925,000. The couple have moved back to Sydney from Melbourne due to Foster-Blake’s booming skincare business Go-To.
