Arts guru Simon Mordant lists redundant Darling Point penthouse: Title Tattle
Jolly arts guru and merchant banker Simon Mordant has listed his redundant hillside Darling Point penthouse following his $10.8 million purchase of the garden harbourfront apartment in the recently completed Buckhurst block in Point Piper.
No price estimate has been given, but market observers suggest $6.5 million plus.
Simon and Catriona Mordant have been living in Darling Point for the past 24 years, with almost a decade in a two-storey penthouse in the triplex developed by Ron Powell to a design by Peddle Thorp and Walker.
The abode, which cost $5.25 million in 2002, has about 245 square metres of space plus some 90 square metres of terraces.
“Set against a dramatic north-westerly Sydney Harbour, Bridge, Opera House and city skyline panorama, it presents the ultimate in contemporary luxury, privacy and security,” according to listing agent Bill Malouf at LJHooker Double Bay.
But Title Tattle reckons the views would be the last thing inspectees notice given the amazing artwork that occupies every bit of wall and spare space.
It accommodates four bedrooms with balconies – one currently being used as an office with his-and-hers desktops.
Along with three marble bathrooms throughout the apartment, the master bedroom suite comes with a spa.
Despite being a triplex, there are only two residences in the Darling Point Road block, which has shared use of an indoor/outdoor gas-heated pool.
“A host of prestige details make it a truly special residence, including parquet timber floors, ducted air-conditioning, moulded cornices, a storeroom, triple parking with direct internal lift access to both levels and additional visitor parking,” Malouf’s marketing spiel advises.
Offers close with Malouf and conjunctional agent Emma Prgomelja next month.
