Rich lister Steve Duchen still waiting for buyer on Darling Point listing

The Darling Point home of Steve Duchen, of the rich lister pharmaceutical family, and wife Polly, remains listed for sale after its mid-September auction.

There were $8 million hopes for the three level home that the couple bought in 2013.

They paid $4.55 million when buying from former Racing NSW and Sydney Turf Club chairman Alan Brown and wife Belinda.

Set on a 415 square metre Darling Point Road parcel, the home features grand interiors, with dark oak floors and high ornate ceilings.

It has six bedrooms, a Boffi kitchen with Italian marble and landscaped terraces.

Ben Collier at The Agency was marketing the home which attracted no bids from the one registered bidder.

He passed in the Darling Road, Darling Point on a vendor bid of $7.9 million.

In 1996 Duchen purchased an 111-hectare property at Seven Mile Beach, outside Byron Bay on the far north coast, and with architect Phil McMaster developed it into the sustainable Linnaeus Estate.
