One of the cool things about this property is the lovely view of the Sydney Harbour.

According to Clayton Andrews, senior vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate, this view is one of the best in the region.

“Standing on that site is truly an amazing experience. This is a spectacular historic mansion and the most significant residential listing ever to come on the Australian market. The harbor-front setting, and the knowledge that the scope is there to create something even more outstanding in the future, is really very exciting.”

Nigeriarealestatehub reports the five bedroom mansion will be the permanent home for Jim, his wife and baby.
