Tasmanian tigers keep watch over the Point Piper harbourfront mansion of the much-accused Ron Medich

Internal photos giving a glimpse into the Point Piper home of Ron Medich and his wife, Odetta, have been posted on an international architectural website.

Meanwhile the harbourfront property remains quietly listed for sale, having never been publicly marketed in print or internet.

The photos by Romello Pireira show its harbourside pool patio that comes adorned with Tasmanian tiger sculptures by Caroline Rothwell. The internal walls of the four-storey house are filled with contemporary art.

The Australian architectural studio Katon Redgen Mathieson completed the Point Piper project in 2009. The design website MyInteriorDesign posted photos by Pireira of the assignment on its website on the weekend.

“This existing four storey house was stripped back to its concrete structure, remodelled and refurbished,” MyInteriorDesign notes. “The planning was simplified and a new circulation spine, with circular lift and stair, added and extended to the upper arrival level to the house. Limestone, American oak and Arabescato marble are used throughout the house.

"Sliding glass doors open across the facade to terraces and balconies. The rear internal walls of each floor are panelled in oak (living levels) and Belgian linen (bedroom levels) as a backdrop to the client’s contemporary art collection. An existing free-form swimming pool was refurbished on the harbour level terrace.”

Earlier this year Ron Medich slapped an ambitious $55 million asking price on the mansion he owns with his estranged wife, arts patron Odetta. Medich made a fortune with his brother developing industrial sites in Sydney’s west. Odetta has been one of the country's most generous patron of the arts.

Before his arrest in October over the 2009 murder of his business associate Michael McGurk, Ron Medich was living in splendour in the white house with point-blank images of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Now on bail and wearing an electronic bracelet that monitors his movements, Ron Medich lives in a two-storey, 128-square-metre apartment in a city high rise overlooking St Andrews Cathedral.

With his wife spending most of her time in Europe, the couple's Wolseley Road home was quietly listed for sale in February.

The David Katon-designed house replaced the house bought from the restaurateur Wolfie Pizem in 2003 for $15.1 million.

Pizem had bought the 780-square-metre property for $160,000 in 1978.

Agents have estimated a more realistic price for the Medich home was about $40 million.

One agent quipped that the Medichs' art collection was worth far more than the house.
