73 Seaforth Crescent
Seaforth, NSW 2092

This iconic waterfront home, known as 'Anschau House', is a masterpiece of architectural design and engineering. It took nearly a decade to design and build, resulting in a unique residence recognized for its innovative solar-plan architecture and structural engineering. The house is elevated on a concrete and steel cantilevered structure, allowing it to float above Middle Harbour and neighboring properties, offering breathtaking south-facing views of the harbor and city skyline from every room. The design ensures winter sun exposure throughout the day and provides near-level access to double garaging and the main entrance.

Situated on a rare street-to-water's-edge parcel, the property includes a registered lease for an exclusive-use jetty and pontoon with a four-post, 15-meter deep waterfront berth in a W6 zone, offering security of tenure and potential for development. Originally designed for a couple, the home suits singles or couples, possibly with an older child, and appeals to those who appreciate exceptional architecture and enduring quality construction using concrete and steel.

The gardens, construction, and interior decor are finished to the highest standards. The home is not designed for extensions, making it ideal for buyers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle without the hassles and costs associated with renovations or body corporate arrangements. It is perfect for those who want to moor a boat at home or desire secure, private, and quiet surroundings with permanent views.

The residence features a penthouse apartment-style layout across two levels. The lower level includes three bedrooms, an office, and three bathrooms, while the upper level offers open-plan living spaces that open onto a balcony and a small, all-weather north-facing courtyard equipped with heating, a wet bar, waterproof television and audio-visual systems, and a retractable roof. The property provides near-level access to double garaging with a turning area, ample storage, and a davit crane. An inclinator and steps lead down to terraced gardens and a small waterside barbecue area.

Luxury appointments throughout the home include in-slab heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, commercial-grade marble flooring, traditional Italian stucco ceilings and walls, and advanced audio-visual, designer RGB lighting, solar, security, and technology systems. The interior design blends modern New York style with traditional Italian elegance, creating a timeless artistic living environment.

This extraordinary home is unlikely to be replicated today due to the significant costs and time required for permissions and construction of such a complex cantilevered structure. The sale presents a rare opportunity to own a fully renovated, iconic waterfront residence in a stunning location on Seaforth Bluff, complete with rare boating facilities, at a price significantly below the current land and build value.
