Last Listing description (February 2024)
Securely and privately set behind electric gates with a new cobblestone driveway, this majestic c1926 home has been completely transformed through holistic renovations comparable to a full rebuild. The architect designed renovation focuses on enhancing the spectacular city and harbour views whilst delivering the absolute best of modern day living.
Showcasing a variety of impressive entertaining and everyday living spaces, the formal lounge and dining rooms open out to a covered viewing terrace and are also connected to the family room and open-plan kitchen. Crowned by a versatile living room with kitchenette, the top floor has an exceptional vantage point to look out over the harbour and across to the city, the Bridge and North Sydney.
Maintaining its grandeur and connection to its thoughtful landscaping, northern light is transported inward at any given opportunity. Oversized fixed frame panes of glass in both the entertainer's dining room and the dramatic staircase frame vistas of the spectacular surrounding greenery. A strategically and privately placed bay window in the family bathroom superbly outlines an idyllic snapshot of the landscaped forecourt.
Exquisitely detailed, the harmonious blend of materials enhances both style and function. Tactile leathered marbles rest alongside glamourous Calacatta Vagli slabs with practical veined porcelain slabs featuring in the wet areas. Warm European oak timber flooring grounds each floor and reflects the elegant nature of the innovative joinery throughout. The designer stairwell features custom shadowline timber panelling with marble display niches and concealed storage solutions.
A location second to none, the property is bordered by a towering green wall and is tucked away within a quiet cul-de-sac around 600 metres from both Kurraba Point Ferry Wharf and Neutral Bay Ferry Wharf. Positioned perfectly to enjoy all Sydney has to offer, this prestigious harbourside address is mere minutes to the city centre, Eastern Suburbs, airport and freeway approaches.
