Australian actress Belinda Bromilow and her acclaimed husband, screenwriter Tony McNamara, have purchased a Palm Springs-inspired waterfront property in Middle Cove on Sydney’s North Shore for $11.2 million. The 1959 modernist home, designed by architect Glynn Nicholls, sits on 1,252 square meters overlooking Sugarloaf Bay.

Luxury Features & Stunning Views

Meticulously renovated, the glass-walled residence maximizes natural light and waterfront vistas. Highlights include five bedrooms (one with a private ensuite retreat), a cabana with a Murphy bed, a heated Italian-tiled pool, gas spa, and a living area with a hanging fireplace and hidden climate-controlled wine cellar. Landscaped native gardens and a dropdown TV add to the home’s allure.

A Record-Breaking Neighborhood
Previously owned by advertising executive Stuart Archibald (who bought it from ex-Facebook CEO Paul Borrund in 2020 for $7.25 million), the property’s sale once set a local record. The current area record, however, belongs to a neighboring home that sold for $11.5 million in 2021.

From Screen to Suburbs: The Couple’s Careers

Belinda gained recognition as Aunt Elizabeth in the Emmy-winning Hulu series The Great, penned by McNamara. The satirical drama, starring Elle Fanning, ran for three seasons. She also starred in Australia’s Doctor, Doctor and will appear in the upcoming dark comedy The Roses alongside Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch.

McNamara, a BAFTA winner and two-time Oscar nominee, co-wrote The Favourite (2018) and Poor Things (2023). He’s currently co-writing a Star Wars film with Taika Waititi.
