And it’s Sang’s love for art, sculpture, ceramics and furniture that has sparked the decision for Wall Real Estate to team with Webb’s auction house in the marketing of the property. “We are filling it with beautiful artwork and furniture from the (Mid-century) era,” says Wall. “And when we have the auction, Webb’s will first auction off those pieces, and then we will auction the house.”

While true to its 70s roots, the house is fully equipped for modern living. There are three distinct living areas. “We are literally framing it as an artwork,” says fellow listing agent Andrew Wall. “It is such a phenomenal design, and the house is absolutely immaculate. The current owners have brought it back to its former glory – it had gone through a few reinventions over the years with bright carpet and walls. It is probably in the best state it has ever been in, and they have done it with the utmost integrity and intent.

Prime News presenter Eric Young and wife Michelle have sold the heritage-listed Brake House in Titirangi. This video first screened early November when the property was listed for sale.
The iconic Brake house in Titirangi, owned by Prime News presenter Eric Young and wife Michelle, has been sold at tender. Ollie Wall of Wall Real Estate says the stunning Mid-century Modern house, designed by architect Ron Sang for Magnum photographer Brian Brake in the 1970s, fetched a price “well in excess of $4 million”. “We had a handful of tenders come in,” Wall says. “And it sold to a family we had been working with right from the beginning of the process. It was a little unorthodox, but we actually introduced them to the owners because they had much in common. They really enjoyed each other’s stories and company, and Eric and Michelle are really happy [with the result].”
