Following her move to the US to become Nine’s bureau chief in Los Angeles, Kendall Bora has quietly sold her former Woollahra home.

Bora bought the Fullerton St apartment in 2017, four years before she married then Weekend Sunrise co-presenter Matt Doran.

She paid $675,000 for the ­35sq m one-bedroom apartment in Woollahra’s Piccadilly Gardens complex.

It’s just been sold for $795,000 through Sydney Sotheby’s agent Sam Towndrow, showing a compound annual growth rate of just over 2 per cent.

Bora and Doran have also just listed their Berowra Waters weekender with $3m hopes.

The Hawkesbury River riverfront was redesigned by Tamsin Johnson following their $1.75m purchase in 2021 of the four-bedroom home, known as the $1200-a-night Airbnb offering Sunny Corner Cottage.

Not long after landing in the US, with their Italian greyhound Murphy, the couple posted an Instagram video reviewing local fast-food snacks.

It was not quite the first of the documentaries Doran, who spent five years at Weekend Sunrise, intends to make while in the US.
