Darling Point 1930s Art Deco harbourfront offering: Title Tattle
The Oxley family has listed a portion of its Darling Point harbourfront estate for May 15 auction.
The two-storey house comes with four bedrooms, an office and three Art Deco bathrooms. It sits on a 1,087-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.
Its garaging once made the headlines given its distinctive Glenn Murcutt style. Murcutt also undertook some alterations to the house during the late 1980s.
More than $11 million is being sought by Brad Pillinger at Pillinger Property. It last traded in the 1970s, the last of three houses bought around their historic holding, Carthona. It’s been the home of Christopher Oxley and his wife, Tracey Anne, of the Bushells Tea family, who are moving into a new house on the estate.
