The Hyde sub-penthouse at 2902/157 Liverpool St, Sydney, goes to auction on August 20 with a price guide of $7.5m.
This luxury sub-penthouse on the 29th floor of The Hyde — owned by a famous art collector and publisher — offers a New York lifestyle and view.
Ask Durva Gandhi, the owner, what she loves about her apartment in the 34-storey tower and she waxes lyrical.
“I love the WOHA architecture, the floor-to-ceiling glass, and the open-frontage,” the author of Secrets of The Art Millionaires exclaims over the phone.
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment with double garage at 2902/157 Liverpool St, Sydney is now listed with Ray White Double Bay’s Nic Krasnostein with a $7.5m guide ahead of an August 20 auction.

Take a seat.
Even the kitchen has a sensational harbour view.
Says Gandhi, as I’m speaking to her to line up my Wentworth Courier Apartment of the Week tour: “I like to think of it as a glass box in the sky … I love that it’s sunny — it’s 25 degrees as we speak — it gets 10 to 12 degrees warmer in the winter on my sundeck,” she says.
And then, of course, there’s that view.
As Krasnostein says: “One of my favourite views in the world is Central Park. I didn’t know that could be replicated in Sydney until now.”
When I get to see it for myself, it’s nothing short of incredible.
Apart from Hyde Park, there’s the high-rise towers, Botanic Gardens, St Mary’s Cathedral, the Opera House and I can see the ocean beyond the heads.
I love the sliding wall that separates the living room from the master suite.
Stylish bathrooms.
The Hyde’s due-north aspect means the apartments are full of natural light most of the day.
Because of the aspect I think I prefer this apartment to many I’ve seen in The Residence, a block The Hyde is often compared to.
The Residence is home of one of my favourite singers and songwriters, Delta Goodrem. And although that block’s also very stylish, most of the apartments there are west-facing.
In terms of the design, I love the sliding wall that separates the living room from the master suite.
Having the ability to open it all up maximises the view when you’re enjoying it from the living area.
The dining room.
Take in the views while doing your laps.
And the covered balcony would be a great space to relax, particularly when the sun’s streaming in.
The Hyde was completed a decade ago but all the fixtures and finishes are of a high quality and timeless.
There’s a lap pool, sauna, spa, concierge, gym and library there, too.
I ask Durva where could she possibly go next?
“I’ve been here for seven years so I’m ready for my next adventure.” she says.
Durva’s got her eye on Crown Residences at Barangaroo. “I can get room service every day and head to the spa,” she laughs.
The inspection times are Saturdays, 1-1.30pm and Tuesdays 4.30-5.30pm.
