There's so much to love about this house-like apartment perched atop a historic Victorian Free Classical manor, but it's the incredible sense of light and northerly rainforest-like views that make the home so special. Reminiscent of an elegant maisonette in Knightsbridge, the 120sqm approx apartment is wrapped in windows on all sides bathing interiors in beautiful sunshine by day and magical moonlight by night. A classic European design sensibility sets a mood of understated luxury with restored Kauri floorboards, 3.3m high ceilings and iron lace balconies creating a refined space to live, relax and entertain. With a sunny country style kitchen as the social heart and a huge living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, this is a home that is fabulously feel-good with leafy greenery all around setting a serene scene. The interplay of light throughout the day achieves a remarkable luminosity as well as optimising cross-flow ventilation while its elevated vantage point captures the harbour breeze over the lush common gardens. Available for the first time in decades, the two-bedroom apartment offers a walk everywhere lifestyle between the city and beaches, 500m to the cafe-lined village high street and 650m to the Woollahra Gates to Centennial Park.
