Two 19th century homes designed by Edmund Blacket in Darling Point have been sold. Both have been flats, so now face conversion back to single dwellings.
One of the pioneer Thomas Mort's former homes, the heritage listed 1850 Greenoaks Cottage, set on 1,307 square metres, has sold for perhaps $6.5 million having been long listed through Michael Dunn at Richardson &amp; Wrench Double Bay who was seeking $7 million plus buyer interest.
It was built around 1850 to a design by Edmund Blacket for the children of renowned industrialist Thomas Mort.
<a href="https://www.rwdoublebay.com.au/1779741/" target="_blank">The Gothic Revival residence, St Mark's Terrace</a> (pictured above) has also sold - at around $5.5million - having been listed following the death of the MacMahon family matriarch Betty, wife of the late surgeon Dr Edward MacMahon, whose portrait by the artist, Sir William Dobell won the 1959 Archibald prize.
Built around 1849, it was designed by the colonial architect as part of the Bishopscourt estate when owned by Thomas Mort.
