At one with nature, this extraordinary waterfront reserve home sits above Sirius Cove Reserve with views stretching from the idyllic harbour beach below through the main harbour to the iconic sails of the Sydney Opera House. Gracing a private 1306sqm landholding, the home was built to an impeccable standard in 2008 with only the garaging and studio remaining as part of the original structure. Architect designed with interiors crafted by a leading interior designer, subtle references to the surrounding early 1920s architecture are present through the property's scale and superior craftsmanship.

Showcasing grand proportions offering families the ability to come together or seek privacy, the tri-level layout is topped by four oversized bedrooms and versatile open-plan multi-purpose space. All bedrooms open out to tranquil balconies, most with epic views. The master bedroom retreat boasts five-star extras such as a hotel style ensuite, custom walk-in robe and additional built-in robes. The executive home office is positioned on the everyday living level and has been tailored to deliver multiple workstations and considered storage solutions. Acting as a hub linking the relaxed TV room to the dining room and formal living room, the state-of-the-art chef's kitchen centred around a social island bench and adjoining an oversized butlers' pantry large enough to accommodate a second refrigerator. Integrated with a full suite of Miele appliances, striking walnut joinery is complemented by the granite benchtops. Looking out to the harbourside barbeque terrace, the Vergola covered outdoor space features an outdoor kitchen with exhaust, retractable awnings and the same hardwood topped balustrading as the interiors.

Designed to welcome family and friends in style, the poolside living area benefits from flexible indoor and outdoor entertaining expanses. Featuring a granite topped bar with integrated fridge, freezer, ice machine and dishwasher, there is also a temperature controlled 3000 bottle cellar and tasting room to rival a boutique winery. An oversized entertainment/ casual living room is separate from the games room with a home gymnasium defined by an internal wall of bi-fold doors. Three sets of doors open out to the striking mosaic tiled swimming pool complete with high-tech in floor filtration system, automated solar thermal blanket and gas heating. A level lawn steps out from the entertaining level with a restored stone pathway leading from curated native landscaping with easy access to the water's edge. Benefiting from the expertise of garden designers at the rear and toward the entry, formal planting and manicured hedging link the main residence to the self-contained studio apartment and double garaging.
