Fashion designer Bec Cooper lists in North Bondi as Warren Ginsberg named Ray White Double Bay princ

Fashion designer Bec Cooper has listed her stunning North Bondi home for a spring auction as her agent, Warren Ginsberg, was named a principal at Ray White Double Bay.

Cooper, who is half of the Bec + Bridge label, bought the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home with double garage and pool at 12 Niblick St for $4.27m through Ginsberg four years ago in October 2019.

But now Cooper, husband Dan Lewinsky and their children are looking to upgrade to a larger home in the east so the residence, with cosmetic improvements, is up for November 2 auction via Ginsberg who has a $5.8m guide.

The cracker listing comes as a corporate restructure at Ray White Double Bay sees Ginsberg elevated to a principal, joining the two other long-standing principals Elliott Placks and Michael Krimotat.

Ginsberg, 35, started as an assistant in 2007 and became a sales agent three years later. He rose swiftly through the ranks, achieving the prestigious “Elite Agent” status within the group in his second year and being named “Chairmans Elite” for the past eight years.

When he sold Cooper her North Bondi home he’d been an associate director, more recently a director and now a principal.

“I am very excited about the future,” Ginsberg said.

“There is a very clear path for growth within our business and I am proof of that.

“From assistant to business owner within 16 years.”

Placks, Ray White Double Bay’s managing director and principal, said Ginsberg had displayed consistent sales dominance over the years plus leadership traits.

“He shares the same values as Michael Krimotat and I which is important to us,” Placks said.

“So now all three of us own the sales and property management businesses together.”

Apart from the fashion designer’s home, Ginsberg has a range of other mouth-watering North Bondi spring listings, including an already popular unrenovated three-bedroom semi at 83 Hastings Pde with a $4.4m guide; 28 Owen St for $3.6m; 28 Murriverie Rd for $5.7m and 15 Polyblank Pde for $3.6m.

He’s also listed a two-bedroom apartment with a $1.8m guide at 1/50 Hall St above the popular bottle shop owned by the Chappell family.

It will be interesting to see Cooper’s next move up the property ladder, since the other half of the Bec + Bridge label, Bridget Yorston, upgraded to a grand St Elmo St, Clifton Gardens, Mosman home that cost $14.05m last spring.

That was the Federation home that was owned by the NSW Treasury Group chief David Deverall and his wife, Fiona Nyman. It sits on a 1,189sqm block and the four-bedroom residence had been redesigned by prominent architect Michael Suttor.

She had previously owned another Clifton Gardens Federation home that had cost $3.82m in 2016.

Both Cooper and Yorston have been regulars on Australian cat walks during Australian Fashion week since they co-founded the Bec + Bridge label two decades ago.

Their website says: “As fashion obsessed teenagers, they would raid their mothers’ closets, mixing and matching with careless abandon.”
