2D Greenoaks Ave, Darling Point.
Former Coca-Cola executive Peter Brooks, who sold his drinks company P&N Beverages Australia to Japanese giant Asahi Breweries for $364m in 2010, knows a good opportunity when he sees one.
Last April, Brooks snapped up a 1960s era property with two dwellings at 2D Greenoaks Ave, Darling Point — one of the most prestigious parts of Sydney’s east — for $11.05m in an off-market deal.
On a 677 sqm block, it came with an approved DA to transform it into single home.

In the months since, he’s rebuilt it into a magnificent new architectural three-level six bedroom residence with pool and internal lift (plus a garage with electric vehicle charging), which has just hit the market with a $17m price guide via Maclay Longhurst of Sotheby’s.
Apart from having every luxury under the sun, it has a northerly rear aspect and two-car parking accessed from Marathon Lane.
Brooks built the home to move into, but has now decided to stay at his Mosman address.
It’s one of a range of impressive offerings from Longhurst as the market starts to warm up ahead of the main selling season.
