The view from David Waterhouse’s apartment in Santina, at 19/85 Yarranabbe Rd, Darling Point.
The Darling Point unit of David Waterhouse, son of the late bookmaking legend Bill Waterhouse, has hit the market with hopes high of an imminent deal on the $50m mansion he owns with his estranged wife.
Jason Boon of Richardson and Wrench Potts Point and Daphne Sauvage of Sotheby’s both posted Instagram posts yesterday revealing the stunning three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment had hit the market.
The guide is $5.5m to $6m.
Just three images are available currently, but they indicate the apartment in Santina at 19/85 Yarranabbe Rd has had a recent dramatic internal fit-out.
The listing comes as Waterhouse, who split with wife Janette three years ago, believe they’re close to a deal on their Elizabeth Bay waterfront trophy home Tresco, which remains on the market as an open listing with $50m price hopes.
“The owners are expecting a sale soon,” says Jaime Upton of Sotheby’s. “There’s been a lot of activity.”

Property records show Waterhouse, the former options trader and art collector and now long estranged member of the horse racing family, purchased the apartment in the popular 1957-built block in 2014. It’s understood he paid about $2.5m back then.
It was only last May that Waterhouse had a run-in with his neighbour, Double Bay travel agent Fay Cohen and her magician husband Garry Cohen over their yapping cavoodle, Fifi. The Cohens are understood to have now moved out.
And it’s not as if Waterhouse is heading to the $12.5m Rose Bay mansion Villa Biscaya, that he and Janette have purchased from Rob Gregg, the founder of medical supply firm Mondeal Aesthetics, and his wife, Elaine.
That’s destined to one day be the future home of Janette.
The Wentworth Courier wrote in February that the circa 1929 Tivoli Ave home — designed by architect Alan Edgecliff Stafford in the Spanish Mission style — had sold after five years on the market with Upton. It’s rumoured to have sold for close to $12m, but doesn’t settle until next January.
The Waterhouses believe they’re close to a deal on $50m Tresco, at 97 Elizabeth Bay Road, Elizabeth Bay.
It has impressive waterfront facilities.
Meanwhile, the Waterhouse’s long-held trophy home Tresco, has been on the market since their separation nearly thre years ago,
It was built in 1868 and designed by Victorian architect Thomas Row.
The colonial mansion was bought by the Waterhouses in 2004 for $11 million and was extensively renovated soon after.
It’s on 3300 square metres and has impressive waterfront facilities and a tidal swimming pool.
