A rarity so close to the main harbour foreshore and Kurraba Point Ferry Wharf, this magnificent five-bedroom family home graces an elevated yet private 999.5sqm landholding upon one of the lower north shore's most sought-after streetscapes. Offering level access from a customised internal lift connecting the double garaging to the main living level, immerse yourself in the impressive scale of this remarkable property.
Retaining much of its innate beauty and grandeur, a selection of bedrooms and living spaces stem off a wide nostalgic hallway. Grounded by polished Jarrah floorboards, striking high ceilings showcase restored ornate detailing. Adjoining formal lounging and dining rooms feature a customised servery, storage and wine racks.
An architectural everyday living extension in 2005 mirrors the home's original soaring proportions, a double height ceiling is met by a towering wall of steel framed windows and doors. Completely retracting to transport natural rockery and garden ambience inward, the bank of bi-fold and French doors are a practical yet stylish touch. Centred around the custom kitchen, the open plan layout boasts endless sleek storage and built-in seating. The kitchen is complete with a semi-integrated Miele dishwasher, a five-burner gas cooktop, Ilve oven and hidden refrigerator niche.
Crowned by a whole floor parents' retreat, the top floor captures main harbour cameos and filtered views across to Shellcove's tidal beach. Serviced by its own marble tiled bathroom, the top floor master bedroom has his and hers walk in robes and masses of other storage options available. Perfect for family life, there is a vast selection of secondary bedrooms on the living level along with three more bathrooms.
Maintaining an unbreakable connection with the outdoors, the interiors seamlessly open out to a private courtyard and decked terrace with sandstone stairs rise to a protected garden wonderland. Lovingly landscaped for year-round enjoyment, the backyard is complete with a dining gazebo, garden shed and is serviced by an irrigation system.
Part of an exclusive harbourside community, explore the surrounding natural beauty at your leisure upon the nearby Cremorne Point Walk outlining the foreshore and linking up with the MacCallum Seawater Pool. Offering unbeatable access to the Sydney CBD, travel into Circular Quay by ferries arriving at local Kurraba Point Wharf.
