Model Roberta Pecoraro and fashion designer boyfriend sells in Bellevue Hill

Runway model Roberta Pecoraro and her boyfriend Jono Friend are set to upsize.

They secured $915,000 for their one bedroom Bellevue Hill apartment they bought for $820,000 in 2018, their first purchase together.

They tidied the kitchen up a touch, but nothing in the way of a major renovation of the top floor apartment in the Art Deco block Reddington.

Now they have their sights set on the beach. Friend has his fashion brand's flagship store, DearFriend, in Bondi, while Roberta's stylist sister Jess also resides near the beach.

Agent Charles Stevens of McGrath Coogee secured the sale.

“We were going off market for the first week and during that time we had someone come through that made an offer of $915,000,” Stevens said of the fact it was initially not marketed. “Then it went live on the market, but they ended up selling to that first person who came through it.

“Essentially, it sold to the first person who came through it in its first week on the market.” 

Pecoraro exploded on the modelling world after a featuring in Australian Fashion Week 2017.
