Overview
Set on an expansive 5,639sqm elevated north-east facing estate, this residence stands as a rare architectural and landscaping gem on the North Shore. Originally designed by Walter Burley Griffin in 1936 and restored with notable expertise, the property blends timeless elegance with tranquil privacy enhanced by grounds crafted by distinguished landscaper Paul Bangay.
Entering through secure gates, the sweeping circular gravel driveway introduces visitors to a serene country estate ambiance, far removed from typical suburban homes. The sandstone façade is distinguished by striking V-shaped steel doors designed to illuminate the interior and frame the picturesque gardens and panoramic district views, delivering a seamless connection between inside and outside.
Designed for both refined living and generous entertaining, the two-level home includes formal and casual living areas warmed by multiple fireplaces. French doors open directly to beautifully maintained gardens, with extensive terraces flowing gracefully outdoors to enhance the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. High-quality finishes such as herringbone oak flooring, designer wallpaper, and custom cabinetry complement the showpiece stone kitchen, equipped with premium appliances including a butler's pantry, gas cooktop, twin ovens and a wine fridge.
Gardens form distinct areas of lush lawns, mature plantings, water features, garden rooms and recreational amenities such as a lap pool, diving pool, and a private glasshouse play space. A separate guest house with two ensuite bedrooms and a private outdoor kitchen provides independent accommodation, perfect for visitors or hosting events.
The main residence offers four bedrooms with built-in robes plus a primary suite occupying much of the upper wing and including a sitting area, walk-in dressing room, marble ensuite with soaking tub, built-in bar and private balcony. Additional functional spaces such as a home office with fireplace, ducted air conditioning, surround sound, two laundries, and a double garage complete this exceptional family estate designed for comfort, style and flexibility.
Located in a prestigious dress-circle street, the home provides convenient access to excellent local schools, shops, Pymble train station and nearby leisure amenities including golf clubs and parklands. This historic property presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a grand estate combining architectural significance, extensive land, and luxurious amenities within Sydney's desirable North Shore.
