Andrew O'Keefe's North Bondi house hits the market for $4.5 million

Andrew O’Keefe and his former wife Eleanor Campbell put their North Bondi house to the market on Thursday for $4.5 million.

The listing comes after a torrid six months for Seven’s former star presenter after he was replaced as the host of The Chase quiz show, faced ongoing mental health problems and went through a high-profile break-up with his former partner Orly Lavee.

In recent weeks, O’Keefe has had two domestic violence charges dismissed and a third withdrawn by police after a magistrate found he was in a hypomanic bipolar state during an altercation with Dr Lavee early this year.

O’Keefe and Campbell purchased the three-bedroom house in North Bondi on 470 square metres for $1.89 million in 2007 when he was the presenter of the Deal or No Deal game show.

The couple had sold their former home, a grand Victorian terrace called Orama in Petersham, two years earlier for $1.07 million, which was a loss on the $1.1 million they paid for it in 2004.

O’Keefe is a former intellectual property lawyer and the son of Supreme Court judge Barry O’Keefe, and his uncle is the legendary Australian rock and roll singer Johnny O’Keefe.

He and his former wife finalised their divorce two years ago. Selling agent Ric Serrao, who has the North Bondi home listed with his Raine & Horne Double Bay colleague Mark Yeats, flagged that the property was coming up for sale on Wednesday night.

The timing of the sale comes in the third week of a Greater Sydney lockdown but coincides with a jump in North Bondi’s median house values of 6.6 per cent in the 12 months to March to a median of $3.265 million.
