Legal eagle who bought $6.5m Bondi house lists it for $12m
The former Solicitor-General of Australia Justin Gleeson SC and his author and academic wife Dr Bernadette Brennan are selling their Bondi house with a price guide of $12 million. Positioned in between Bondi and Tamarama beaches, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom house has 180 degree ocean views to Ben Buckler. Set on 330 square metres, the luxury residence spans four floors with lift access to all levels and includes triple auto-garaging with an EV charger and a solar-heated salt-chlorine pool with an outdoor shower. Within walking distance to the Coastal Walk, Bondi Icebergs and the beaches in between, the couple purchased the home for $6.5 million when it was built brand new in 2017. The Gleeson-Brennan family were Walsh Bay locals for more than a decade before making the move to the eastern beaches where they plan to stay and downsize locally. Gleeson returned to the Bar and the chambers he founded, Sydney's Banco, after his resignation following his public fallout with Attorney General George Brandis in 2016. Meanwhile, Brennan has won several accolades for her published work, including her award-winning literary biography A Writing Life: Helen Garner and Her Work. Their home is scheduled to go to auction on 31 May. It is being sold through Simon Exleton of Pillinger who said current interest is between $10 million to $11 million.
