The long-held Double Bay penthouse of late social figure Eileen Bond has been placed on the market with a $17 million auction guide.
Double Bay Auction Scheduled For 19 March
The residence at 3/9 Gladswood Gardens is scheduled to go to auction on Thursday 19 March at 6:00 p.m., with the auction to be held at the Ray White Double Bay office.
The dual-level apartment occupies the top two storeys of a boutique block of three. It comprises four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms and parking for two vehicles. The property spans 492 square metres of combined internal and external space.
Inspections are scheduled across late February and March in the lead-up to the auction.
Purchased In 1986
Bond and her former husband, Alan Bond, purchased the property in 1986 for about $1.2 million. The couple divorced in 1992 after 37 years of marriage.
Bond retained ownership of the upstairs apartment and used it as her Sydney base for around three months each year while primarily residing in Perth. She died in July last year at the age of 87. The property is now being sold by her children.
Layout And Harbourside Position
The split-level floorplan includes expansive living and dining areas, a breakfast-bar kitchen and an enclosed entertaining space with harbour views. The apartment also features a private entrance foyer with both stair and lift access between levels.
The building is located near Murray Rose Pool, also known as Redleaf Pool, and is within walking distance of Double Bay village shops, cafés and restaurants.
The sales campaign is being managed by Ray White Double Bay agents Elliott Placks and Thomas Popple.
