The back-pain specialist Sarah Key, the wife of former Sydney solicitor Russell Keddie, has listed her Double Bay home.

The 1904 Wistonville is one of the earlier Double Bay mansions at the end of the quietly exclusive harbourside cul-de-sac, Wiston Gardens.

It had a floor added by the architect Professor Leslie Wilkinson in the 1960s.

The house, with north facing courtyards, has a grand drawing room with open fireplace and Kauri floors.

It last traded in 1985 at $430,000.

The picturesque Wistonville, set in gardens by Harris Hobbs Landscape Architects, was briefly listed for sale in 2010.

It is relisted through Louise Snowden, now at Raine & Horne, for August 14 auction. More than $3.5 million is tipped for the Elizabeth Bay bound couple.
