The Good Life in Tamarama: ‘It was love at first sight’

2 Mirimar Ave, Tamarama has a $24m price guide.

With curves in all the right places, this collaboration between architect Alex Porebski and Alexandra Donohoe Church from Decus Interiors delivers a home that blends sculptural design with an enviable coastal setting.

Tamarama Curve House has been home to Good Life Great Food cookbook author and former lawyer Judy Phillips since she and her property developer husband, Robert, bought the five-bedroom residence in 2018 for $12.5m from Goldman Sachs heavyweight Chris Champion.

In the same year, the pair had traded in their long-held family home on Kambala Rd for $13.67m, according to records.

’Seamless indoor-outdoor flow’

Judy had gained local notoriety hosting popular cooking classes at the grand Bellevue Hill property and donating all the proceeds to the Black Dog Institute.

The Mirimar Ave house is now back on the market, listed through Paul Biller of Biller Property and Alexander Phillips of PPD Real Estate with a $24m price guide.

“Every detail has been crafted to the highest standard, from the curved glass walls framing the ocean to the seamless indoor-outdoor flow,” Biller says.

“Homes of this calibre, in such an iconic beachside setting, are seldom offered to the market.”

In one of the eastern suburbs’ most coveted beachside pockets, Tamarama Curve House occupies a northeast corner spot, designed to soak up light and ocean views.

“We loved the house from the moment we walked in, it’s just simply beautiful,” Judy says.

“We actually bought it within one day of seeing it. What we hadn’t realised at the time was that it’s not just the house that’s perfect, the location and lifestyle is amazing also.”
