Rove McManus and wife buy fixer-upper Perth home
Logie award-winning presenter Rove McManus and his actor wife Tasma Walton have bought a promising fixer-upper in Perth.
While the couple is based in Bronte, the pair have both been spending more time in Perth.
Perhaps in a move to break ground once and for all out West, the pair outlaid $2 million on a five-bedroom home with a spacious backyard and vast pool.
Rove and Walton are both born in Western Australia and appear to be returning home to beachside City Beach, west of the Perth CBD.
The 1960s home is over 1000sqm and was bought from the businessman Tony Sage, the owner of the A-League side Perth Glory.
He paid $297,500 in 1989 for the two-storey home set midway between the beach and Bold Park.
The pair, who grew up in beachside Geraldton, 420km north of Perth, married in 2009 at Broome.
McManus and Walton will likely keep their renovated 1920s Bronte hillside home which they bought for $6.415 million in 2016.
