Holly Brisley's Bondi Beach apartment sale collapses, but higher price outlook
Jonathan ChancellorNovember 2, 2013

Actress Holly Brisley, best remembered for her role as a troublemaker on Home And Away, and her husband, property investor Paul Ford, have relisted their Bondi Beach abode after its June 2013 buyer walked away from its purchase.

The then sale price has not been disclosed but Property Observer gathers it was about $5.3 million. It's now back on the market with $5.5 million plus expectations.

The couple were among the buyers who snapped up a 2006 off-the-plan apartment for $6.75 million in the Bondi complex, the apartment block on Campbell Parade that replaced the Bondi Beachside Inn on its 2009 completion.

It comes with 250-square-metre internal space but is 486 square metres all up.

On its initial December 2011 listing they were looking for $7 million plus, which was reduced over its three or so marketing campaigns.

The opulently appointed half-floor residence has been relisted through Steven Chen and Elizabeth Brunton at McGrath Estate Agents who anticipate higher interest given the improved property market conditions.

It has views that stretch across the beach and bay from North Bondi to Tamarama from the northern side of the building

It has three bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms, and its luxurious appointments feature custom American oak joinery.

There’s also C-Bus 2 intelligence system with automated blinds and curtains. The couple are understood to have their eye on an off-market house-buying opportunity elsewhere on the coastal eastern suburbs strip.

The couple have bought near Forty Baskets Beach at Balgowlah.
