73 Seaforth Crescent, Seaforth, NSW 2092

ICONIC ABSOLUTE WATERFRONT HOME - 'ANSCHAU HOUSE'

Architect Martyn Chapman AM took almost ten years to design and build the iconic 'Anschau House', and both are formally recognised by The NSW Institute of Architects as highly reputed. It is Sydney's 'Fallingwater' with its cutting-edge solar-plan architectural design delivered by a phenomenal concrete and steel cantilevered structurally engineered build to raise the height of the house enabling it to float high over middle harbour and its neighbours to receive Seaforth Crescent's (formally called Seaforth Scenic Drive) famed south-facing harbour and city skyline panoramas with views from every room, winter sun all day, and near level double garaging and entrance.

The house is on a rare street-to-water's edge parcel of land, with a rare TfNSW Domestic Registered Lease on title for an exclusive-use jetty/pontoon with four-post 15m deep waterfront in W6 zone giving security of tenure and development potential.

The architect's brief was to build a spectacular modest sized home for a couple, so this house suits a couple/single, (with possibly an older child.) It will appeal to those who have a genuine appreciation of unique architecture and a quality build of enduring concrete and steel. The gardens, build, and d?cor are completed to the highest standard and the house does not lend itself to extension, so this house suits someone who wishes to avoid the stress, time and opportunity costs of renovating or building and just move in and enjoy. It suits someone who wants a lower maintenance home without the dramas and costs of sharing and body corporates, who wants to moor their boat where they live, or simply wants secure forever views, privacy and quiet.

This beautiful renovated penthouse apartment-style home contains an ergonomic floorplan on two levels: 3 bedrooms, office, and 3 bathrooms on the lower-level, and open-plan living on upper-level opening to a balcony and small all-weather north-facing courtyard with heating, wet-bar, waterproof TV & AV, and retractable roof. There is near level access and double garaging with a turning area, vast storage, and a davit crane. An inclinator and steps lead down to terraced gardens and a small waterside BBQ area.

Numerous luxury appointments include in-slab heating and reverse cycle aircon throughout, commercial-grade marble flooring plus traditional Italian stucco ceilings and walls, and multiple AV, designer RGB lighting, solar, security and technological systems. The artwork and d?cor is artful modern New York fused with traditional Italian elegance, and you feel you are living in a timeless work of art.

This iconic house would likely not be built today due to the enormity of cost and time required to obtain permission and build this phenomenal cantilevered structural engineered build. This offer of sale presents a rare opportunity to become the custodian of an iconic beautiful fully renovated home in a stunning setting on a rare street to water's edge block with rare boating facilities on prestigious Seaforth Bluff for significantly less than its current land and build price.
