Overview

1/1 Mount Adelaide Street, Darling Point

Babworth House is a distinguished example of Edwardian architecture, nestled high above Sydney Harbour and surrounded by century-old gardens. This iconic estate offers a residence of lasting beauty and cultural significance. Within this grand, gated estate lies Residence One, a unique ground-floor apartment that blends historic grandeur with modern luxury.

Originally completed in 1915 and carefully restored, the estate showcases exceptional craftsmanship and artistry. Residence One is one of only five exclusive residences created from the former mansion, offering a scale and spaciousness rarely found in apartment living. The property boasts an impressive 674 square meters of combined indoor and outdoor living space.

The approach to the residence is marked by a stately gated entry, a sweeping driveway, and an elegant porte-cochère, setting the tone for the remarkable proportions found inside. The flowing floorplan includes a series of formal and informal living and dining areas, filled with natural light through oversized Art Deco windows that frame views of the surrounding gardens.

The interiors are rich with period details, featuring extra-high ornate ceilings, original timber joinery, oak parquetry flooring, and beautifully preserved finishes. These elements create an atmosphere of timeless elegance and tranquility. The abundant sunlight filtering through the greenery establishes a seamless connection between the indoor spaces and the outdoors.

Designed to accommodate both intimate living and grand entertaining, the residence extends effortlessly to private outdoor areas. Unique to Residence One, the landscaped gardens, sun-drenched level lawn, dining patio, and traditional terrace are all included on the title, providing a rare level of privacy and exclusivity within over 5,000 square meters of meticulously maintained grounds.

• Three generously sized bedrooms, including a deluxe master suite with an ensuite bathroom and a private terrace.
• A gourmet chef's kitchen with casual dining, complemented by a full butler's pantry, combining functionality with sophistication.
• A basement double lock-up garage and private storeroom with lift access directly into the residence.
• Resort-style amenities such as a heated indoor pool, ducted air conditioning, surround sound, and C-Bus lighting.
• Quietly located at the highest point of the Darling Point peninsula, yet just moments from the vibrant areas of Double Bay, Edgecliff, and the harbour foreshore.

Residence One is more than just a home; it is a legacy. This is a rare opportunity to secure a place within one of Sydney's most prestigious private estates, offering a once-in-a-generation chance to own a truly exceptional property.
