The Darlinghurst apartment that screamed decor by the interior designer Greg Natale remains unsold.
There were just two bidders were at its mid-August auction with it passed in at $1.15 million to the flu-ridden top bidder.
Natale bought the one bedroom 14th floor apartment in 2010 for $630,000 with his partner Jason Greenhalgh, then it was renovated in 2011 with his signature Greg Natale-designed wallpaper and carpet.
It is just 70 sqm.
Set in Harry Seidler’s iconic Horizon building, Natale is not venturing far - off to the 10th floor for a larger two bedroom apartment with 110 sqm space that was once owned by his first designer boss, the late Garth Barnett.
It recently sold for $1.785 million.
Melinda Antella, of BresicWhitney, took it to auction on August 13 with a guide of $1.1 million, so some attendee expressed surprised at the property not coming on the market.
The asking price subsequent to auction was published as $1.25 million.
