Maree Conley, founder of Conley + Co in Double Bay, has listed her meticulously redesigned Bellevue Hill apartment with an $11.5 million price guide, following years of luxurious renovations.
Ms Conley, a well-known figure in the Double Bay homewares scene, purchased the Bellevue Hill apartment at 2/34 Drumalbyn Rd for $1.95 million in 2014.
Over the past decade, she has transformed the residence into a high-end sanctuary featuring bespoke interiors and luxury finishes. Ms Conley is now looking for her next creative challenge, having recently acquired an $8.4 million property nearby, reportedly for her daughter.
Property Features
The four-bedroom apartment boasts high ceilings, curved Crittal windows, and expansive north-facing views towards Manly from every seat in the room.
Design elements include Versailles parquetry flooring and a 19th-century French Carrara marble mantelpiece, adding Parisian sophistication to the space.
The bedrooms and bathrooms exhibit meticulous artistry, enhancing the overall luxurious atmosphere. The apartment is situated within a boutique block of five whole-floor residences, providing exclusivity and privacy. The interiors feature super high-end finishes, with every detail carefully curated to create a seamless blend of elegance and comfort.
Market Response and Trends
Listed with agents Richard Faludi of Raine and Horne Double Bay and Clint Ballard of Sotheby’s, the property has attracted significant interest since it was placed on the market just before Christmas.
Mr Faludi noted a strategic advantage in listing ahead of the traditional post-Australia Day rush, positioning the property uniquely in a competitive market.
Future Prospects
Market experts anticipate a strong 2025, with potential interest rate cuts driving buyer sentiment.
Despite current market conditions, Ms Conley’s track record and the apartment’s exceptional features are expected to command strong offers.
As Ms Conley moves on to her next venture, her Bellevue Hill apartment stands as a testament to her signature design style, offering prospective buyers a rare and luxurious opportunity in one of Sydney’s most sought-after suburbs.
