The Darling Point harbour estate has a guide of $36m.
Media executive and businessman Hamish McLennan and his wife Lucinda have listed their luxury Darling Point mansion with a $36m guide, intending to downsize.
Ray White Double Bay principal Elliott Placks, who has the listing with his colleague Ashley Bierman, are expecting the four-bedroom, five-bathroom landmark harbour estate with double garage to be popular.
“We’ve had it active online for a week and inquiry has been very strong,” Mr Placks says.
“This weekend we’ve got our first open and we’re expecting some really good engagement from the market.
“It offers a turn-key house in an incredible location.”
