A luxurious mansion in Sydney’s sought-after eastern suburbs, owned by esteemed businessman Charles Curran, has made a grand entry into the real estate market with a staggering price tag of $29 million.
Nestled in the elite suburb of Woollahra, this exquisite two-story residence features six spacious bedrooms and four elegant bathrooms, epitomizing classic style and sophisticated living.
Curran, now 85 and renowned for founding Screentime, the creators of the popular Underbelly TV series, acquired this expansive estate in 1981 for a mere $750,000.
Following the sad passing of his wife Eva in March, as reported by The Wentworth Courier, the media tycoon, who divested his television stations to Network Ten and Southern Cross in 1996, is opting for a more manageable residence.
Positioned on a serene street within the prestigious ‘consular belt’, a neighborhood hosting international diplomats, Curran’s opulent estate stands as a testament to classic elegance and bygone luxury.
