855 New South Head Road

Rose Bay NSW 2029

Proudly poised high on the Rose Bay hillside, this majestic Federation estate claims the perfect vantage to revel in magical views across Sydney's glittering harbour and iconic skyline. Commanding all the presence of a French provincial manor, gated sandstone archways beckon you in from the streetfront to a cobbled courtyard driveway, with beautifully manicured gardens lining the way to a private elevated entrance. Once inside, rich timber floorboards, wall panels and cross-beams give a glimpse into the home's c1912, with decorative ceilings, classic bay windows and original stonework maintaining the elegant period ambiance throughout. A statement marble-clad kitchen forms a worthy centrepiece for the expansive floorplan, while a series of secluded alfresco settings can be found across the sprawling 1,144sqm property. North east facing balconies and terraces are set to capture postcard-perfect panoramas that stretch from Shark Island and the sands of Rose Bay Beach in the foreground to the graceful curves of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in the distance. A completely self-contained lower level adds incredible versatility, and an immense attic space entices future capitalisation. Embracing a prestige address in one of Sydney's most exclusive enclaves, this breathtaking residence is mere footsteps away from sandy harbour shores, elite schooling options and the vibrant atmosphere of Rose Bay Village.
