Its an 1,800-square-metre Lindsay Avenue property at the tip of Darling Point and next door to Glanworth, owned by the media tycoon Kerry Stokes, who everyone throught might be the likely buyer, if not the other neighbour, Stan Howard.
Sir William bought it in 1967 for $170,000 from the estate of Margaret Wirth of the Wirth Circus family.
It was listed with $40 million to $50 million hopes in 2011. And as Property Observer noted on its listing, the price may have been achievable two to three year earlier, but not then and not now.
No sale price is yet available. Nor the specifics as to the option. But Title Tattle presumes it fetched around $30 million, and more likely on the high side.
It was 1996 when the potter Warburg executive Matt Allen spent $5.65 million sale to buy the Yoorami Estate in Bellevue Hill from the barrister Geraldine Vandeleur, wife of silk Charles Sweeney.
