A grand mansion in Sydney’s eastern suburbs owned by prominent businessman Charles Curran has been listed for sale with a staggering $29 million price guide.
Set in Woollahra, one of the city’s most prestigious postcodes, the classic two-storey residence features six bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Curran, 85, the founder of Screentime, the production company behind the Underbelly television franchise, purchased the expansive property in 1981 for $750,000.
The media figure, who sold his television stations to Network Ten and Southern Cross in 1996, is reportedly downsizing following the death of his wife, Eva, in March, according to The Wentworth Courier.
Positioned on a quiet street in the heart of the area known as the “consular belt”, home to a number of international diplomats, Curran’s stately home reflects a refined Old World style.

Last year Curran bought up a gorgeous sub-penthouse from fashion guru Maria Finlay, spending 8.3million on the two-bedroom pad in Double Bay, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
