Former Home and Away star Holly Brisley sells her Sydney Balgowlah Heights home for $12.15million 

Actress Holly Brisley and her property developer husband Paul Ford sold their Sydney Balgowlah Heights home at auction for a cool $12.15million on Saturday.

The stunning beachfront property, which the former Home and Away star had hoped to sell for between $12.5 and $13.75million, sets a new record for Balgowlah Heights with the most expensive house in the area previously selling for $11.8million. 

Reported by The Daily Telegraph on Sunday, Holly purchased the property in 2012 for $3.8 million.

The secluded four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has direct access to Forty Baskets Beach.

Spanning three levels, the property only has one neighbour and is barely visible from the street.

The Northern Beaches home also boasts harbour views and is situated alongside a children’s park and protected ocean pool.

There is also a basketball court, small practice driving range, ground floor studio and rooftop terrace.

The property sits on a 704 sqm block, has an open lounge and dining room with a gas fireplace, plus a Caesarstone kitchen with an island bench.

The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, and three of the bedrooms open out to a balcony.

Meanwhile, the living and dining areas open out to an entertaining terrace, and there’s also a home study.

The actress bought the home in 2013 with her husband Paul, and the couple lived there with their children, son Levi, 12, and daughter Willow, nine.

‘We have had lots of dinner parties or just grabbed bean bags and lay on the grass. It is very much a house for entertaining,’ Holly previously told realestate.com.au.

‘And the views are spectacular, sometimes you can see the fish in the ocean and the nighttime view of the lights of Manly are as good as the daytime.’
