Though Simon Baker, 54, is known as one of Australia’s leading acting talents with an estimated net worth of $40 million, he demonstrated his willingness to tackle hands-on tasks on Friday by diligently mowing the lawn outside his Bondi Beach residence.

Reports from The Daily Telegraph indicate that the Australian star acquired his new three-bedroom cottage after it was placed on the market by social commentator Ruth Ostrow.

The property, which also contains three bathrooms, is set in lush tropical gardens and boasts ocean views from the loft office space. 

The house features a charming patio for Simon to entertain guests, and its interiors are characterized by a neutral color scheme, polished wooden floors, white-painted walls, high ceilings, and timber elements.
