Historic Mort's Cottage, Double Bay sells with Thomas Jacobsen extension
The jeweller Robert Clerc has sold his 1830s Double Bay residence reputedly for about $5.4 million.
It had been listed through Di Jones Real Estate agents Gary Sands and Jane Schumann.
Its most recent asking price indication was above $5 million being sought, but the sales price has not be revealed.
In August 2011 there had been hopes of around $6.5 million for one of Double Bay’s earliest homes, Mort's Cottage.
The original sandstone house built in the Gothic Revival style has been extended with a modern addition of glass and steel designed by Thomas Jacobsen architects after its 2005 purchase for $3.02 million.
It's set on a 620-square-metre holding on the corner of Ocean Avenue and Cross Street.
