A luxury residence in Bellevue Hill, owned by a stakeholder in the Manly Sea Eagles, remains on the market with a revised guide price of $16.5–$17.5 million.
Price Adjustment After Initial Listing
A five-bedroom home in Bellevue Hill is still for sale after an earlier campaign did not result in a transaction. The property at 5 Bulkara Road was first marketed in October 2024 with expectations exceeding $20 million. The guide price has since been adjusted to between $16.5 million and $17.5 million.
Background and Ownership
The home is owned by Michele Brooks, the wife of Andrew Michael, a part-owner of the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. Michael shares ownership of the NRL club with chairman Scott Penn. Records show the couple acquired the site in 1997 for $1.575 million. The residence was rebuilt and later underwent significant renovations approximately a decade ago.
Michael has worked in the fashion sector for more than four decades and is currently a director at the Apparel Group. He and his wife recently purchased a penthouse in Elizabeth Bay for $24 million.
Property Features and Layout
The home, designed by Arent & Pyke, offers single-level open-plan living. It contains five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a bespoke home office, and a marble kitchen with a butler’s pantry. Outdoor features include multiple courtyards and an in-ground swimming pool.
Access is available via a landscaped stairway or a garage-connected inclinator. The property spans a 967-square-metre block on a sought-after street.
Location and Views
Located in a prominent part of Bellevue Hill, the home provides views over Double Bay, the Harbour Bridge, the Sydney city skyline, and Bondi Junction. It is also close to several leading private schools in the eastern suburbs.
Current Status
The property is being marketed by Ray White Double Bay agents Di Wilson and Ashley Bierman. It remains listed for sale at the revised price range.
