'Warialda' - a contemporary architectural masterpiece behind a nostalgic Victorian facade
An architectural showpiece behind a landmark Victorian Italianate facade, this spectacular tri-level luxury home welcomes both sweeping views and stunning northern light into its impressive interiors and multiple landscaped outdoor escapes.
Proving that good design is truly timeless, the 2006 transformation by Union Street's own resident architect Ian Poole, seamlessly links the oversized garaging and workshop to the everyday living level and ambient bedroom retreats by an internal passenger lift. Finely crafted combining exposed steel beams and Australian hardwood timber, sliding glass cavity doors flawlessly disappear for the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living. Showcasing a sophisticated selection of living areas, a central courtyard oasis is a relaxing focal point effortlessly stemming off the formal lounge room, culinary kitchen, family room and covered resort style dining terrace. Cleverly filtering natural light into the media room through a series of skylights above a strategic void, the lower-level design also features an executive home office, powder room and custom wine cellar.
Channelling views toward the city and harbour from the upper-level bedrooms, the north facing master suite is lined in walled storage. Opening to a private decked terrace with outdoor shower, the master also connects to a quality ensuite complete with double vanity, bidet and bath. Juliet balconies connect to the courtyard and outlook, bedrooms two and three gaze over toward the cityscape, Main Harbour and Anzac Bridge with the second bedroom even enjoying views from its own five-star ensuite bathtub. Crowned by a rooftop terrace taking in 180-degree panoramas stretching from the Opera House and Harbour Bridge across to Homebush, spend New Years Eve from the comfort of home with one of the best seats in town.
