The US-bound Melbourne corporate lawyer Guy Jalland has listed his restored art deco Darling Point harbour front with $12 million hopes.

He paid $8.2 million in 2013 and then updated the property which had last traded in the 1970s. He also added a jetty.

The two-storey house sits on a 1,114 square-metre Sutherland Crescent block, having been built in the 1930s. It retains terrazzo finishes, curved feature windows and solid-timber joinery. Its lounge, dining and family areas take advantage of the harbour views. There is also an interior courtyard.

The two-storey home contains four bedrooms and three classic art deco bathrooms, including a dedicated lower-level teenagers' retreat with a casual living area.

Its garaging once made the headlines given its distinctive Glenn Murcutt style. Murcutt also undertook some alterations to the house during the late 1980s.

Guy Jalland, with plans to spend more time in the United States, is best known as a longtime adviser to James Packer, including being general counsel of Publishing & Broadcasting Limited from 2004 to 2007.

The house is listed through Brad Pillinger at Pillinger Real Estate.
