If this property looks like something out of a magazine, that’s because it is. The six-bedroom, four-bathroom 1880s Italianate estate at 75 Ocean Street Woollahra has been showcased in Architectural Digest and Vogue Living no less. Known as ‘Icilus’, the property is set over three levels on 853sqm, including a basement area with fully equipped gym with bathroom and is surrounded by formal gardens and alfresco dining areas that would look at home in Europe.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, every detail of this property has been considered, from the marble kitchen with top of the range Wolf appliances to the auto turntable parking, which makes navigating this vibrant part of the city so much easier. There’s also a spacious home office large enough for two and separate playroom or retreat packed with storage.
Temperatures are managed all year round thanks to air conditioning and hydronic heating, while the abundant natural light ensures a comfortable ambience throughout the day.
On the upper level, the main bedroom suite includes walk through dressing room and generous ensuite.
While the layout is perfectly placed for modern living, it’s the style of this house that will draw buyers in. Bespoke wallpapers, designer pendant lighting, Belgian steamed oak floors and marble fireplaces create a sense of opulence. Beautifully curated by Claire Delmar of CD Studio, spaces speak of bygone charm and contemporary elegance. The property has a price guide of $25 million.

The penthouse unit at 80 Columbus Circle in Manhattan spans 8,000 square feet and once set a price record for the city.
2 minEight is definitely someone’s lucky number—especially when a few zeros are tacked on at the end.
The top-floor unit of the 80-storey 80 Columbus Circle in Manhattan is coming to market for the first time in more than 20 years and asking a nice round $80 million.
The full-floor unit spans over 8,000 square feet and is part of the Mandarin Oriental Residences above the hotel in the Deutsche Bank Center. It has eight rooms with eight ensuite baths, each with its own walk-in shower.
It last sold in 2005 for a hair under $30 million to cosmetics executive Sandie Tillotson, a founding member and senior vice president at the Utah-based Nu Skin Enterprises. She agreed to purchase the unit in 2001 while the complex was under development as the Time Warner Center.
Today, the six-bedroom apartment features spacious living areas and views from every room, including a close-up view of Central Park and panoramic 360-degree vistas stretching to the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, according to listing agent Eva J. Mohr of Sotheby’s International Realty.
“There are windows all the way around,” Mohr said. “The views are spectacular and there are no obstacles in front of the windows.
The apartment comes with a library and cinema, a primary bedroom with its own lounge, an oversized kitchen, a corner breakfast area with two glass walls and a utility room with caterer-level equipment and two sinks—one for prepping flowers and the other for bathing pets.
The 80th-floor unit has never been resold and was rarely used by the seller, according to information provided by the listing agency. The corresponding top-level unit in the complex’s second tower just sold. That unit once belonged to Related Companies boss Stephen Ross and sold for $50.7 million in an off-market deal last week.
“The one that went for $55 (sic) million was completely redone with marble and it was beautiful, but you don’t have the views,” Mohr said.
When Tillotson bought the property, the $30 million contract was a record price for a condominium, according to the New York Times. In 2005, the apartment was delivered as “8,200 square feet of raw space” and Tillotson brought her own team to do the interiors, the Times reported.
Tillotson’s Nu Skin is a seller of anti-ageing and wellness products that was founded in the 1980s and is active in more than 50 international markets, particularly in China. The publicly traded company has also recently expanded into India. Nu Skin has several thousand permanent employees at its Provo, Utah, headquarters as well as tens of thousands of salespeople worldwide.
