With a private marina berth and stunning harbour views, this Seaforth home is made for waterfront living—even if no one ever stayed overnight.
They Bought This Seaforth Stunner for $6.125M – and Never Slept in It
A waterfront home in Seaforth has hit the market after four years of sitting empty—despite its owners, Nigel and Thuy Russell, paying $6.125 million for it in 2021. The couple, who travelled often and lived in Sydney’s east, never once stayed overnight at the stunning address: 15 Bligh Crescent, Seaforth, NSW 2092.
Four Years, No Stays
Rather than living in the property, the Russells leased it out for $3,600 a week while keeping it in pristine condition. Now, they’ve listed it for $6.75 million.
Locals may know the house well—it’s tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac and rises directly from the water’s edge, offering spectacular Middle Harbour views by day and night.
A Home Built for Lifestyle
Built in full brick and concrete, the home features floor-to-ceiling glass to maximise water views. It includes five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and over 4,170 square feet of space. The main bedroom has a spa ensuite, a walk-in robe, and a waterside balcony. Other features include a granite kitchen with harbour views, a casual dining area under a glass atrium, and wraparound terraces.
There’s also a self-contained guest retreat with its own entry, kitchenette, and bathroom, plus a recently approved DA for an internal lift. Outside, an infinity pool overlooks the water, and a private deepwater marina berth, powered boatshed, and landing area make it ideal for kayaking, fishing, or sailing.
Ready for Its Next Chapter
The home, now listed through LJ Hooker Seaforth, is expected to attract buyers after years of quiet admiration in the neighbourhood. With a layout designed for comfort, privacy, and active waterfront living, 15 Bligh Crescent may finally welcome its first true residents.
